nice
Oh, that's what that thing is, a ricer. I found one after my grandparents died and we were going through their stuff. I thought it was some kind of a grinder lol
Horrendous institution, slavery
No doubt, Alice. The fact that the diaspora was created has led us to what we are today; a mix of colors, cultures and traditions.
You know, when I see these old homes and the artifacts that are in storage or displayed there, I wonder about modern life. What are we doing or making today that will be worth even saving much less displayed and toured? Most homes today, whether cookie-cutter suburbs or custom one-offs (with few exceptions) are special. Families don't hold on to their ancestral homes anymore (if they even have one). We don't really have little interesting trinkets or lasting furniture, either. Everything these days is just generic and mass-produced with little to no craftsmanship or quality... and what we do have, if it breaks, we generally throw it away without even thinking about fixing it. It's sad when you stop to think about it as I'm sure many that would be watching this kind of video have and do.
Who the hell had $2.75 in those days.
It was a lot of money but thousands of farmers and civilians bought them and used them as "scatter" guns. Thanks for commenting.
