It might be that they never officially got married.
I don't know how big their backyard was, but am not sure the neighbours could see their laundry. But yea that is gross.
Mmm small towns are gossipy.

I can't really imagine being the 'talk of the town ' but if you ever get on the front page of the newspaper then you going to be talked about, nowadays, people do it for free and faster on Facebook.
mid to large back yard. yes, they were married. in deed, the neighbors could see, the clothes line was right in the middle of the yard, lot's of sun shining thru.

Think there's rules about hanging out your laundry if you live in an apartment.
 
Some people like to boast how cheap they can be.

I also learned that some people do not wash everyday, and think that was ok, and then look down on people who liked to keep clean!

Laundry detergent, even soap, is not expensive, and if you run out you can always use shampoo or dishwashing liquid. Well it was a man that did the laundry, what can I say.
 
oh, well if they could afford a landscaper then yea no excuse.
right! look up a lady named hettie green. she's the most frugal woman in world history. she was a financial genius in the late 1800's to early 1900's. worth around 80 million back then. she was so cheap, she's accused of the death of her child because she kept looking for a free medical clinic to assist her son but he died while waiting!!!!!

i can tell you many stories of super cheap customers who were & are rich. once, i took down a willow tree for a guy & he tried to get me to lower the price. he lives in the most expensive area of that town. then he tells me he's going to florida on vacation. so his strategy was ignorant. i told him if the wood was marketable, i could lower the price but no one wants willow wood. so he more or less bragged that he's loaded. not bragging, i am quite comfortable but by no means am i cheap.

You can make cricket bats out of willow wood and wicker baskets out of the canes if you pollard them correctly.
 
I haven’t had sex since I was saved in spring 2014. Since then I have had an STD test and found out that I had only a curable STD from before that time. I believe it was gonorrhea. I took a pill and it was cured soon after that.

Before I was saved, I was very sexually active, so I’m surprised I didn’t have a worse situation but God is good.

I’m currently engaged and I will just be taking her word for it.
 
You say your bro was your twin. Fraternal? How much older were you..just a few minutes?
My younger brothers are twins. Fraternal, though many can't tell them apart.

I know I'm a different blood type from my older sister. She has a better constitution than me, I'm the one who always got sick. I think it's maybe genetics, as what happens with DNA..it's random and no two people are really alike unless they are clones or identical twins.
yes, fraternal. i was born 15 minutes before him. i remember when we were kids & everyone got measles, chicken pox & the mumps. my brothers got all 3, i only had measles.

huh so did you always pulled rank? maybe you got more breast milk, IDK.
 
i''m not sure but it seems that cheap means someone doesn't care that everyone knows he or she is cheap. frugal always seemed to mean someone very careful with expenditures in a way that hardly affected anyone else.
Or they are just Dutch.

'Going Dutch' means you pay for your own meal when going on a date.

thatzphunnneee! really phunnneee! no but between all my brothers & i, i punched way harder than they could & they always would cry to dad that i punch too hard. so when i was about 10 or 12, 1 time my older brother hit me, & i hauled off with a left haymaker punch & punched him in the neck. he cried like crazy, dad came upstairs & smacked me because of me punching in the neck area.

i assent.
 
You not supposed to punch anyone, especially your own brothers. I'm a bit shocked actually, they not meant to be punching bags. Maybe only if you were both in a boxing ring with gloves, but your Dad was right to punish you for that.

That would have been literally traumatising for your brother who got it in the neck. I hope he's alright now.
He shouldn't have hit you first though, he already learned his lesson. I cry when people hurt me because its painful. Domestic violence is the worst because you are not safe in your own home.

Living in fear is not the way to go.
