X is kinda like Gump without the chocolates. He has no offerings for a chocoholic like me.

Whoop de doo for your vocaroo!

He has a good radio voice

 

[The Question]

Hooray for fuckin' hangers. Decent ones. Damn.

 

[Jack]

 

[The Question]

When I first moved back here to Holbrook, I didn't have any hangers, because the house in Iowa had no closets. I shit you not. Three bedrooms, not one of which had a closet. So my next door neighbor gave me a bunch of wire hangers. FLIMSIEST fucking things I've ever seen.

 

[The Question]

Tried to hang a five pound leather jacket off one, it DEFORMED.

 

[Jack]

Yep. Who would build a house without closets?

 

[Jack]

and why would you live in such a place

 

[The Question]

Not a fucking clue. My mother always seems to home in on, then buy, the WEIRDEST fucking properties on the planet.

 

[Jack]

LOL

Old homes didn't have closets. People used armoires, or if they were really poor, hung clothes on nails.

 

[Lily]

They only had a few outfits, couple pants & shirts, or skirts...

 

[The Question]

Yeah, she loves to buy places that were built in Eleventy-Billionteen B.C.

 

[Lily]

All you have to do is visit very old historic sites that were made into "museums" to understand how different America was 100 years ago.

 

[The Question]

Full of rooms that are all fuckty-ass-weird shapes and sizes.

 

[Jack]

I think closets started to be included in the 1860's

 

[The Question]

Well, the house I lived in was from the 19-oughts. There was one HUGE-ass walk-in closet -- upstairs. No lighting in it. It was just a space between one large room and a smaller one, that somebody put a shelf and a closet dowel into.

 

[Jack]

we have "witch windows" in some of the older houses

 

[The Question]

Also, no insulation or HVAC in that upstairs. So half the year, it's totally uninhabitable.

 

[Jack]

aka "coffin windows

 

[Jack]

sucks

 

[The Question]

Another nice "feature" of the mid: No sidewalks. Evidently, midwesterners are just born in the drivers' seats of cars, and never walk from one place to another.

 

[The Question]

Hop on Google Maps sometime, punch up 'Ackley, IA', then do a street view tour. No sidewalks. Fuckin' madness.

 

[Jack]

LOL

 

[The Question]

Upstairs neighbor just brought down beans with jalapeno and salted pork in. In exchange, I gave her half a glass of gin. I like living in a place that has other human beings living in it.

 

[Jack]

neighbors are good
