CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Gorgie Porgie, pudding and pie,birdfriend said:going back, back, back...trying to remember...I vaguely recall this:
"Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie
kissed the girls and made them cry...
sorry, folks, that's all I can remember. The part about jump roping I liked the best though was when two chums held a long rope one on each end. Then we would take turns running in to jump it.
Kissed the girles and made 'em cry,
when the boys came out play,
Geogie Porgie ran away!
Would you believe we use that one for opur daughter - 2.5 years old.

Yes, some things continue to be so much fun. Thanks for finishing that verse.

I was raised in the south and something’s may have been a little different down here.
(Not proud of it ) but I remember some places had 3 bathrooms one said, Men, one said Women, & one said Blacks.
I remember Blacks always had to sit in the back of the bus, Also black people had to get up and stand if a white person needed a place to sit.
I remember produce trucks [someone’s pick-up truck] slowly driving down our street and the man driving yelling “Fresh produce” and one or two kids [about 10] in the back of the truck to take the money and give mom what she wanted.
I remember the milk man dropping off our milk [in glass bottles] on the front porch before the sun come up.
I remember when our neighbor was the first person who got a color TV.WOW! That was spiffy.
I remember when cans with drink in them needed a can opener to put a whole on each side to drink it, And it was hard to crush them cans with one hand.
I Remember when.....
PS.
A rhyme from the old south. Burl, Burl, Burl, O won’t you be my girl, stay away from Lester slat he grease his hair with possum fat.

Yep, I remember that. When I was a kid we use to go along the street and drink the cream that had settled on the top. Yumm Yumm. Also we use to have the bread delivered. One can still have the daily paper delivered here.

Occasionally a stick would have a 'free' label you found after eating off the ice cream and this entitled the bearer to a free ice cream! What great fortune! Serendipity!

I remember lying on the grass of an evening staring up at the sky. In those days before so much artifical lighting was around you could barely make out the constellations because of so many other planets and stars. I remember straining my eyes trying to see the red planet.

I remember that too - where we lived we were on the edge of the town and had a copse and corn fields opposite. When I was between 7-9 I used to play out there until dusk when my mum would yell my name from the doorstep - I'd hear her from miles away. Sometimes I'd respond and sometimes I wouldn't - but boy did I get a tanning if I returned home after dark!! Can you believe it?

I remember a guy on a tricycle with a wooden box on the front that would come round on Sunday afternoons around 4pm. Mum would send me out with a bowl to get a pint of shrimps for tea which we'd all sit and eat with fresh bread and butter!
Or sometimes it would be a pint of cockles which we'd use a sewing pin to extract the poor little body from its home! Awww!!
This was in Norfolk (UK) and the shrimps and cockles would have all been caught that morning and cooked before bringing round to sell. Can't beat that for fresh. I had some cockles from a supermarket the other day and they were absolutely ghastly!!

Yeah, I've got fond memories of my big brother and me sitting out on the back porch star gazing and talking about astronomy.

I remember all peanut butter had oil in then, and when open the peanut-butter had to be stirred, and then they come out with new and improved peanut-butter that did not have to get stirred. Now they say that the peanut-butter with its oil still in it, is better for you and charge us more $$$. LOL

It is true that these days the originals are usually considered 'better' like antiques and collectables...but, alas much more expensive.
So often when we browsed in antique and second-hand or thrift stores we would see something my mom used in our kitchen when I was growing up. I bought a duplicate of her potato masher...and am sure I paid three or four times for mine what she did for hers when it was new. It is fun though and brings back so many precious memories. Ah, remembering....

Really nice song! I have never heard that one before. And with Willie Nelson too!
This part really blesses me.
Blessed Saviour, Thou will guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In that great forevermore
Thanks for posting the URL...
