Which year's picture today has a squeezebox ?

Good Wednesday morning; we're almost there!!!
Looks like 2004 to me...

2004 has one! :-)

2004, it would have been my grandpa N's b'day today and I have his squeezebox. Lots of memories there!

Could 2009 also be considered?

Different type of box, different kind of squeeze

Cool that so many people knew what you meant Charlie!!

Oh my gosh, RD! That is hilarious!!

All I'll say is that's one serious lookin' squeezebox player there.
And I was thinking the same thing RD, in more ways than one.... ;-)

Must be hilarious:)

According to The Who, Mama's got the squeeze box and that don't look like Mama.

And Daddy never sleeps at night, lol!!!

Sure glad I don't have to go out to RD's "squeeze box" this morning....36 degrees on the backporch therm!!:<brrr

well the kids don't eat and the dog don't sleep.............

I get the feeling there's some song lyrics in here.;) How's the rest of it go?

Yep Shirley, Squeeze Box sung by The Who. Released in 1975. Bob & I were dating, I still have my 45!

Our son was a teenager then but I'm not sure if he had any of their albums....unless it was among some I broke.;->

Yes, indeedy! It was no fun being the first one out of the ol' farmhouse in the morning, and shoveling a path through a foot or two of new snow to the "facility".

You know the old saying, "Six rooms and a path." — and that's not even Finnglish ("path" = bath)!

I have a request from a viewer for some help finding any information or photos of the old school on the Tamarack Hill:

"Can you help me? I am looking for some info, or photos of what used to be the Tamarack school on Tamarack Hill. It supposedly burned in the late 70's, then a house was put on part of the foundation. I was reading some threads on Pasty about people saying they used to sled down the hill into what is now my home.
Any information would be appreciated, you can either post it here or email directly to me at: aparker@mtu.edu
Thanks, Andrew Parker"

FRNash, we had 5 rooms and a 'path' when I was a tiny tot and it wasn't even a farm....just about 10 miles from the big city. Ah memories.;)

I got indoor plumbing...
No outhouse for me...
No “Oooo… I’m in a hurry…”
No “Yikes… I’ve got to scurry”…
No nighttime “Oh, no… I got to go”…
No dark, no rain, no icy blow…
I got indoor plumbing…
No outhouse for me…
No rough, dirty, wet seat…
And nothing sticking to my feet…
No more of that damp paper…
No “Yuk… gosh… my finger”…
I got indoor plumbing…
No outhouse for me…
No fear that I’ll fall through…
No deep breaths… wah, peew…
No breathing methane gas…
No “Will this ever pass?”…
I got indoor plumbing…
No outhouse for me…
No “Help me… locked in” cries...
And no stinkin’ black flies...
No dangerous wasp battles…
No embarrassing outside cackles…
I got indoor plumbing…
No outhouse for me…
No more rickety old shacks...
And no peeping through cracks...
No rush me waiting line…
No “Trust me… You’ll be fine…”
I got indoor plumbing…
No outhouse for me!

Pinetreegirl: It's been said that back in the good old days people went outside to the outhouse to do what we all have to do and they ate in the house. Now people stink up the house and go outside to eat! "Go figure", but that's progress.
