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. Here are some facts about the 1500s:

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June.. However, since they were starting to smell . ...... . Brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting Married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof... Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold.

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would Sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive... So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.

Now you know!

Lalasticlala pls move this to the right section, thank you

Religion / Re: How To Reconcile Your Christian Faith And Your Intimate Orientation by Jezuspoa: 3:50pm On Apr 16, 2013
@yooguyz, homosexuality is not an orientation, its a choice, a wrong choice leads to a bad habit. Hence there no such thing as reconciliation of faith and intimate whatever..
Don't read meaning into what i wrote, i don't hate gay people, i believe a person who repents from his gaylifestyle can be used by God, i even have a brother who is gay! What i don't approve of is their dirty lifestyle.
Keep with fight bro the lord is with you!
Religion / Re: Why Did God Create Satan? by Jezuspoa: 1:18pm On Apr 16, 2013
Yooguyz: my son Jez, God is a respecter of freewill which is your ability to choose between right and wrong, remember when Adam and eve commited high treason in eden he didn't hypnotize them to worship or obey him he respected their freewill. That same freewill is given to everyone irrespective of who they are demons, satan, angels e.t.c
yes when satan was created he was Jehovah's...sowie God's loyal servant, he was created to do good not until he abused his freewill and then turned out to be what he is today.
If God is then respecting the freewill of satan which he uses to do evil does it mean God is heartless?
Ans: yes he is aware of the hunger, evil, sufferings in the world today but then a time will come when all things will become new. Even satan knows that his time is short. Have i been able to answer your question?
i appreciate your attempt to answer my question, buh does that mean God is cruel? Its just like father watching his son suffer starvation, even when he has the resources to save him, just because he feels the time isn't right.

Religion / Re: Questions? Comments? Complaints? Talk To The Moderators Here by Jezuspoa: 9:45am On Apr 12, 2013
@yooguyz,
am not trying to convince to any1 that we are different id's.
He drew the battle line right from the day he decided to step on my toes. It's a battle papa, a battle of wits! Some times if you bury the matchet it will come back to harm you.
By the way i love the way you fired him in that thread! That was a good comeback!
Religion / Re: Questions? Comments? Complaints? Talk To The Moderators Here by Jezuspoa: 9:32am On Apr 12, 2013
Yooguyz: @jezuspoa, you are the one causing the confusion,by trying to convince him that our id's are not the same. Bury the matchet bro, quite defending me and ignore the dude.
One more thing, did you have anything to do with his impostor stritklymi?
I saw a thread here sometime ago when you were saying something about his id that you have a confession or something...#cant remember the thread# Cos if you do i'll personally hand you over the moderator
nah i have nothing to do with it i just said wateva i said because i wanted to get his attention.
The guy who played that childish prank confessed at the end of the thread when he saw that the joke he was playing got out of hand
But because of the hatred he has for you nah he wants to blame it on you and build a mountain outtta a mole hill
