Our Trusty Slingshots  

Our Trusty Slingshots

2 years ago By Doug Fincher
During the 40’s almost every boy in my hometown of Center owned a knife and a slingshot. We couldn’t afford air guns, but became quite proficient in building our own fine sling shots. Per-WWII Inner tubes (the red ones) were pure rubber and slingshot bands made from them would shoot a country mile. A good pair of scissors were required to cut our bands and the only one available at our house were those Mother used to cut our hair. And every time she cut our hair, she’d ask, “Have you boys been using my scissors?”

Reverse

I have a refrigerator with a large freezer at the top of it. The door had begun to sag when I tried to shut it. I had to lift it up for it to close properly. My grandson came by one day. I asked him to look at it for me. I thought it just needed to be tightened, Bad news. It was broken at the top. He told me that it might fall on me and I should quit using it. There goes my icemaker. Plus, I kept frozen things I cook with in there like onions, celery, peppers and my cherries that I eat each day for carpel tunnel. This would not be easy. I dug my ice trays out and washed them. Then cleaned out a spot in the freezer for them and the condiments. Not a perfect situation; but if I had to, I could live with it. The next thing I did was call the company where I had bought the fridge. I planned to get a new door. Well, much to my surprise; a new door cost as much as a new fridge.
