something i found on facebook..... a bit of interesting history reading .... enjoy ...they used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "piss poor".

but worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low.

the next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

Great share ! Nice and positive too.

Dung floors are still used in rural dwellings here in Sourh Africa.

And our farmer family had dung floors throughout their house on the farm in an area called Warmbaths.

May i assure you that there was no unpleasant odour once it was laid and had dried out - in fact it gave of a sweetish "planty" fragrance.

You then applied floor polish to it and of course it was warm in winter !

i would like to think there was some good that resulted from our being a witness at one time..

I was TMO for 15 years and RC speaker for many years - it definitely has had a reasonable ++ spinoff - I have also managed to launch a business in Public Speaking and Presentation Skills Training based largely on the skills gained there.

2018 World Cup - Will it address a problem with the game?

the world cup in russia is being used to launch v.a.r.

- video assistant referee.

it will be very interesting to see if/how it affects the almost obligatory cheating offences of pulling/pushing which occur every time players are in each other's penalty area.

May also discourage this:

A World Cup-bound referee has been banned for life for a match-fixing attempt in Saudi Arabia just weeks before he was due to fly to Russia, says the country's football federation.

The Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) says Fahad Al Mirdasi confessed to offering to fix the King's Cup final between Al Ittihad and Al Faisaly.

Peace security

by asp59 in

never have understood why sudden destruction most come after announcement of peace and security.

is not peace and security a good thing?

can someone give a logical answer to it..

The International Year of Peace was recognized in 1986 by the United Nations. It was first proposed during the UN conference of November, 1981 by the United Nations Economic and Social Council, with a date associated with the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of the UN

This one produced Orgasms at the time ~

The logo of the International Year of Peace is two hands releasing a white dove surrounded by a laurel crown similar to the UN emblem. This logo appears in different postage stamps and on the advertising board during the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico.

this article is dated june 7, 2018 and is likely a lead up to the bear ripping the jw bible article.

http://www.newsweek.com/wives-jehovahs-witnesses-jailed-russia-send-letter-putin-adviser-begging-end-965516.

the wives of jehovah’s witnesses rounded up and imprisoned in russia have written an open letter to a top adviser of president vladimir putin, asking him to stop the campaign of terror against the religious group.“this open letter to you is a cry of desperation.

i like trump but i would be reticent wearing that hat.🤠.

AFRIKANMAN

Why would anyone want to wear a hat with a logo representing any country in the Mondial ? Like the US has got dibs on being the "ever so righteous reference standard" for countries ? All of whom are corrupted.

I would feel like the member of a Cult !

Lets make Planet Earth Great Again !
