"One quart of water is all you need!"
Photobucket is giving me serious problems. I want to post an article from an old 1880 book HILL'S MANUAL OF SOCIAL AND BUSINESS FORMS, but Photobucket will not let me for some reason. I've about had it with them.
Anyway, the photo is instructions on how to use ONE QUART of water to keep yourself clean.
We live in the boonies where current goes out pretty often.
You can make do with a whole lot of “inconveniences” when
you have to do so. - Every day is different. Of course, one
can’t dig a hole in frozen ground for potty needs. So, we
just play it by ear. If it’s too hot for wood stove, we just
eat cold food.
We have a well that is set up so we can pump up a bucket
by hand. - It would take some adjustment; but it’s the
way I grew up.
Don’t let this internet & computer stuff stress you out.
I’m 70 yrs. old and the internet & computers are for the
most part fairly new things to me. (I did have the
advantage of having to work at word processing early on
in my job.)
I doubt I use more than a quart of water a day to bathe
myself. When I shampoo my hair, I just run a sinkful
of warm water and make do with that, mostly for rinsing
my hair.
I guess some would say I’m sort of dirty; but I’ll just
have to do anyway!
