not about cleaning
Mar 24, 2016 3:08PM PDT

maybe I need to explain. a lot of people in my area huff can air. There has been several arrested lately for going to walmart, buy a bunch of can air, sit in the walmart parking lot and huff until the pass out. That is usually when cops are called , get them to the hospital for frost bite and other issues before standing them in front of a judge.

and that is why I thought it was about can air when you said huff and puff.

Grimm and Aesop

These were part of almost every parent's library who had a child. I don't know what youngsters get today or if many parents even read to them at all.

My parents did not read much to us kids but we always had a nice library of childrens books and they encouraged us to read. Also had several LP's that contained children stories. I guess that is why I like audio books so much today. We had several version of hans christian anderson, grimms and aesops fairy tales that I would enjoy reading. You mention any of the tales from those books to teenagers today and they never heard of them. It is ashamed.

My father was in the army and I went to an RAF school, (Raf Gatow) as I recall, I won a book in a spelling B. It was called Strongwing and was about a young raven's life from chick to adulthood. I researched it about 2 years ago and found a picture of the cover exactly as I remembered it. Grin

Dare I even mention Uncle Remus tales?
Mar 25, 2016 2:22AM PDT

If those are still told, they've gone underground. As a child, I could get wrapped in fables and tales presented this way. They were entertaining and educational. Uncle Remus tales could never turn anyone into a racist or bigot and I don't care who says otherwise. I've heard and love many of the old Irish tales and I have to thank Walt Disney for introducing some of that into our culture here. Telling tales is anything but new. Stories could be based on real happenings but be passed on and embellished to the point of being so unbelievable but still very amusing. We did have TV, of course, but not the electronic distractions that surround us and young children today. I feel richer for growing up before that happened.
