That is hilarious

That’s hilarious and awe inspiring 🤩

Smart mother.

In one of the William Shakespeare related houses in the Stratford area, one a large vertical support pillar in the centre of the house there is a ring around the pillar connected to another ring. Toddlers were put into the ring so they could walk around the post, watch mum working and play with a toy, but were kept safe from the fire and she could get on with her work without having to watch the child constantly. I can't see this (or a rope round his waist) is any different to putting the child in a play pen, a cot, a door bouncer or a push chair so you can get on with essential work for a few minutes without worrying what they are doing. Or perhaps none of those options are now considered acceptable.

I have one of myself at 4 years old wearing a harness and tied to the back door with a clothesline . I was a rather adventurous child 😊

Soooo adorable!

The second photo was on the cover of Reader’s Digest in Canada, as the floods were in the Prairie provinces.

I personally know the man, he is a respectable firefighter and is a good friend!

@@GB-et4kk …I think the lady he rescued was hoping he would be a little less respectable! 🤣

That was in 2013 in High River, Alberta. A great picture during a devastating flood.

You will! You have the motivation and the experience of what's NOT right. I bet you'll be an awesome mom!

I feel so sad for you hearing this. You didn’t deserve to be abused. How could you just being a child. I wish all the best for you in your life. And you will make the best mom.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it! 🥰 It means a lot, because my mom is also a child abuse survivor, and she ended up passing on the abuse. The idea of turning into her terrifies me. 😥

@@NWednesdayQuansah Since you are aware of how child abuse is generated, I am sure you won't turn into your mom. Best regards.

So sorry to hear this and sharing here. It sounds like you are self aware which will point you in that forwards direction. Every day is a blessing and filled with a fresh start, you will create your own positive destiny!

Yes I remember going to the 50th wedding anniversary / renewal of vows of one of my family members but I don't remember who. I was about 5, I think, at that time so a decent amount of time ago

They look great, too! I would have guessed them to be about 70 years old in the 2nd photo, but they're at least 90. Love can keep ya young and healthy.

😁😅🤗😀‼😁

Proper dad humour 😂

My dad would have done this.

This vid has made me laugh out loud many times. I’m subscribing for that reason.

Jonel Filipek……yep. It’s a reflection of the best part of humans - the urge to nurture/ water of life. Take us back to Eden pronto! 🙂

@jonel filipek It is rather soothing!!! Did you know if you talk to your plants or even talk near them they grow better? Russians figured this out by accident. They had a potted plant in an office that was more long then it was wide. The desks were lined up one behind the other against one wall leaving a walkway to get to each desk. The last desk had a plant in the corner. At one point many or all of the staff were moved out of the office and the plant was left in the back corner. It was on a military base and so cleaning was still done regularly in the room. They had a radio up by the door that as the janitor came in and went out he had to radio in he was present and leaving as did anyone still using the office. One day the janitor noticed the plant and believed it to be dead so he picked it up to dispose of it, but set it on a table by the radio so he could notify he was leaving. He left forgetting the plant. Over the next month of coming and going the janitor noticed the plant was coming back to life. So they ran experiments to see if it was the talking on the radio that brought it back, by placing same age of several plants in an area where they were cared for properly but not allowed any sound. The other group was at minimum talked to also. The plants where they were talked to were bigger healthier and more productive than the plants not allowed sound.

I have no garden, so my bedroom is full of plants. It’s the way I find peace, just chilling in my room and playing music to my plants lol

I'm sorry for your loss. I miss mine, too, but I firmly believe we'll be reunited one day when our time on Earth is done, with a life of virtue and Christ. Many blessings to you!

Agree

Yes Ma'am...so many stories and so much "technical knowledge"/"how to knowledge" and wisdom!!!!!!!!!

So true, they've lived and seen so much and have so many stories to tell. I never got to meet mine since my dad lost both parents as a child and on my mom's side her dad had already passed when I came along and her mom passed when I turned 1. Please cherish the time you have with them.

@@esperanzaarce9563 My heart aches for you. Grandparents and Aunties and Uncles are the best!!! We lost my mom's parents about 6 months apart when I was about 13, and my father when I was 16 and his father when I was 18. That was all difficult enough and I never thought I would feel anything more painful then their loss until I had my own children and then I did and still hurt for them not having them around to know and learn from. So, I do my best to incorporate things they did and tell stories about them so they can at least have little pieces of them to pass down, almost like tradition. There are a lot of grandparents out there though and even some who haven't had the chance to be grandparents, so adopt as many as you'd like. All parties will benefit from the experience. One can also look towards Aunties and Uncles as a substitute as well. Much love and many blessings to you and yours!!!!!

@@theducklinghomesteadandgar6639 thank you for your kind words, it's very sweet of you☺️. My mom was the youngest of her siblings and the age gap with her siblings was significant so the closest grandparent figure I had was my uncle. He married my mom's sister when she was a baby so he saw her more as a daughter than a sister in law and she saw him as a father figure and when he passed it absolutely devastated all of us, he was the sweetest and kindest man and just thinking of him right now makes me tear up. We have a saying that a person only dies when we stop thinking of them, so in a way you keep them alive through the memories and stories you share with your children. 🙂

Best part of that joke is that people used to do that. You could put postage and an address on your kid and the mail carrier had to give them a ride to their destination. it was cheaper than a train ride. You can find old photos on the internet of mail carrier with kids until made illegal in 1913

It takes bravery to grow old, there are people who will still treat you good!

I wish you lots of happy and exciting days as you grow old. :)

Wish you lots of exciting and happy days!

@@mst_palette3527 you , too, have made my day….😘

@@elisar8594 well, that lovely remark didn’t make me weepy or anything…😘

So he's famous now?!

@ Penell E - I love the way his wife is still jealous after all those years.. 😁

@@priscillamoore5736 same as my mom....she even hated when my dad goes out with his friends eating outside...🤣🤣they have been married for 40 years

Better than "Front Row Amy" at Brewers home games.

That one hit me hard, too. 😢

My condolences and hugs! He loved you very much!

My Grandpa was like that and he passed it on to my father and my many uncles. They are notorious for talking forever too. It was a nightmare to trick or treat with my Dad in the town he grew up in lol. Took forever!

Babira .. not EVERY single one, but I guess they have to be included or you get sued.

@@OrangeySky11 the name's Babita.

*2.14* The person in golf cart pulling the person on the walker. Love it! Hard to pick my favorite, though, they're ALL wonderful!!

My dad died 10 years ago. I so wish he had lived to see my grandson, who is five now. He'd have gotten the biggest kick out of a new little one in the family.

The older you get, the faster it goes. Savor every moment!

I hope that you have a wonderful celebration when the time comes, but for now I'm happy that you're still here with us 😁

I'm only 62 but I know that whatever time I have left I will try and make the rest of my years count. Just started to volunteer at a food pantry and always make sure I find something for someone at a thrift shop to donate to the care shelters,VA,children's hospitals,local is a great place to start kindness will make your day. ✌🏼Hope everyone has a great safe 2021.

Same!

@@joyarmes9689 True!

Respect.

I loved the recliner part!

Me too

🖤🥺🖤

I’d try it now but would probably end up lost. Or arrive a month late.

Don't set your house on fire!
