Thank you

 

WOW is that one ugly broad with that crown on!!! WOAH

 

Could have been off with your head for that remark back then

 

I know, but wholly cow! What was that, 1890? Pretty tough life back then too, I'm sure.

 

I am sure she thought why couldn't of this been when, I was younger herself.

 

I actually wasnt tryin to diss her. Im sure it WAS a.bitch living back then. Could you imagine?? I mean different for a queen.
But us commoners, well except for you lordmarcovan, we would have been hauling water, stackin firewood. I'm sure food wasnt all that plentiful. Cold you probably worked from dawn to dusk, even kids.
I freak kids out now, these days, by saying how tough it was almost 100 years ago. With WWI, WWII, the depression.
The queen would have grown up in the 1800s, which was tough, but still that was like 300 years after the dark ages, so it must have been markedly better right?
Didnt mean to turn this into a history lesson. That stuff just fascinates me.

 

I was raised on a dairy, farm, in my early years. My father also cut posts for fence an firewood was a must. I probably started dragging brush when I started walking. Outhouse, cream cans of water from a spring. It may have been a hard life, if so we didn't know it was a way of life. All in all I have a great work ethic, an your name still stands for the person you are.

 

@char64 Wow that's great to hear you say that, my friend. Im glad to see that there are still people out there that feel that way.
And a man's word and dignity is all he needs.

 

I wouldn't of wanted to be in like Egypt back when they were building pyramids now that, would of been the worst. I would have wanted to be the architect, or Cleopatra, or someone in waiting somewhere.

 

Found a cool coin just now.

 

Kind of what I thought after posting. Soaked it gunk is staying. I'll toss it back. Thanks
