I'm from Jersey! Nobody pumps their own gasExcuse me... When it comes to that nothing evenly compares to females. I've known women that couldn't change a lightbulb, put in windshield washer solvent or even open the hood of their car, pump their own gas, mow a lawn and countless other things to numerous to even mention. That form of incompetence is pretty evenly distributed between the genders.
Can do all of the above. Except mow the lawn. Well, I can do it, but I'd rather not.Excuse me... When it comes to that nothing evenly compares to females.

Yes. It's a bank holiday for us also
Damn you folks are really either lazy or massively uncoordinated.I'm from Jersey! Nobody pumps their own gas
Makes for a good job for late teens though. I used to be a gas jockey back when you just asked "fill'er up?" and "regular or high test".

I've actually pumped gas. Several times I needed a ladder to do soDamn you folks are really either lazy or massively uncoordinated.
Yea, I taught my daughters to do all of that stuff. Even do brake jobs on their cars. Neither one does any of that now, but they know how. That was the purpose, to never be taken by questionable mechanics. I taught them some of the words to use when talking to mechanics so that the mechanic would feel that my girls had a knowledge and not easily fooled as well. Mowing the lawn was not one of their favorite chores, but they did it anyway.
I bet your house smells wonderful!! My Mom made applesauce when we were growing up.
What a wonderful memory! and thnx right now it's the cinnamon applesauce and I'll make the plain in a couple of weeks when those apples come in.
We were always freezing and canning. My sister and I helped with it. We also made the best sauerkraut in a crock. I loved that stuff. Yummy! I hate the stuff they have in stores now.
You're doing all this work again?!
Never learned any of that. Odd thing was that my grandmother used to jar up various foods. She never taught us how to do it, so maybe she really didn't like doing it -- but, she liked to eat what she put in the jars.
I'm not fond of the stuff from the store except for one raw brand(make in giant crocs) which is why I usually have a crock or 2 of something going in seasonWe were always freezing and canning.

The boys do the peeling when I do the big batch so it's really not all that much work for me and gives them something to do once lawn mowing season endsYou're doing all this work again?!
Mom used to clean the chicken coop when she was a teenager based on what I was told. Her Stepfather owned a farm besides working in a factory. Mom had multiple chores to do on that farm that was located in a small city of less than 6,000 people at the time. Mom had to water the crops and do other stuff on that farm before she went to school and work.
It's been impressive watching the long queues, and the respect the people are showing. (I'm referring to yesterday, as I haven't watched any coverage today.) As this somber event is UK -based, and hasn't happened for 70 years, I can't compare it to anything here (or elsewhere in the world), not to mention that we don't have a monarchy here to begin with. So I can't state -- one way or another -- if the same respect for tradition would be followed elsewhere.
