You were LUCKY! We lived for three months in a newspaper-lined septic tank! We used to have to get up every morning, at six o'clock and clean the newspaper, go to work down the mill, fourteen hours a day, week in, week out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home, our dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!
Sorry, for some reason this thread is causing Monty Python flashbacks...
Dennis, I hope you get shoveled out before the next storm. You guys are in a real bad weather cycle now, but spring will be here soon!
