That Was No Hand Towel


This was a cute story by Dorothy Paterick from Shawano Wisconsin. Mrs. Paterick talked about a day when a Maytag salesman came by to sell a washing machine to her parents. While demonstrating the merits of the machine he washed the sheets. When the salesman was done he reached down and grabbed what appeared to be a towel. It was Mrs. Paterick’s mother’s bloomers. 
We Had Everything But Money was a wonderful book. It is a collection of wonderful stories from people who lived through the worst ever economic crash this country had seen. I would recommend it to anyone… And yes, I found another book about survival during this period I plan on getting called

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it.

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
