      OMG, I was just going to say almost the same thing! Its been a while now and I bet he still hasn't gone to the doctors. That cough doesn't sound good and if he goes now maybe, they can help him who knows what it is! And, I'm not a person who ever tells someone to go to the doctors!

      It could also be something called post nasal drip. After you get a cold you can often have a cough that hangs around for weeks and even months. I don't think it's terribly dangerous but it's ANNOYING. My husband gets it after almost every cold he gets, he is usually prescribed a steroid spray.

      It sounds to me like a dry asthmatic type cough. Probably exacerbated by the cold and allergies. Go to your doctors, get sorted with an inhaler or whatever and wear a mask when you go into these places and I mean a proper mask, not a cheap one!!

The ones they used meant "a single shot (from a gun)," which is a euphemism for a one night stand. It's not like a lot of people around here would get it, but still...

      Dust, dander and mold could be causing this cough, but there are also diseases which are carried in the feces of mice that can really mess you up. Until you cleared it out, the Potter's House was probably a very busy place when the weather was warm, a real Disneyland for mice lol.

      @@meganvanderlinden6755 I think it was the Matador Cafe, I remember plugging coins into the tabletop jukeboxes at a cafe that shared the building with the beer parlour, as we called it then. The hospital wasn't much more than a small building, and I remember everyone getting stuck in the mud when the road to the lake was being paved. Mike's Beach is now built up from the one store and two wharves that it used to be. Our cabin was on Nature Trail, but the cabins now look more like houses. Wonderful memories!

      I have a pair of them took a little getting used to wearing them but are a bit noisy on some floors. I had a friend bring back a pair for me and my boyfriend but he refused to even try them on. They still have the price tag on them from close to 20 years ago. l tried to sell them but my friend got them with our names on them. I told the people you could always paint over it. I'm guessing that's a touristy thing to put names on them.

    • @JackyHeijmans
      @JackyHeijmans 5 лет назад +1

      @@suzannejensen275 I have not yet seen a farmer having his name on his "klompen", they use them to work on the field and things. I myself never had a pair, I as a rule walk barefoot, or in rubberboots. (Not common in the Netherlands either, btw., lol.) Maybe you can find a person with the same name, that would buy the pair you want to sell. Also, here often people put a little plant in them, and hang them on a wall outside, or something like that. Maybe you like that idea. Have a wonderful day! :)

      Dunno bout him, but my method when i dismantled the assets of a firm we took over was to keep a small notebook that i split in the major sectors you'd find in a defunct firm. So electronics, office supplies, furniture etc. Worked really well as i made my way through either listing the items for sale or straight pick-up no charge. And that was years ago, almost a decade when in Europe we didn't have as many Craig's List like websites to advertise for "hey pick this up or buy this thing" kinda deals.
      In short, be organized on paper (or memory, to each their own) and you'll go through any mess, large or small.
