 Jokes

       Hard of Hearing
       Morris, an 82-year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
       A few days later the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with

       a gorgeous young lady on his arm.
       A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said

     "You're really doing great, aren't you?"
       Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doctor, 'Get a hot mamma

       and be cheerful.'"
       The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said you got a heart mummer

       and be careful."

 

Old Wisdom
       After working his farm every day, an old farmer rarely had time to enjoy

 the large pond in the back that he had fixed up years earlier with picnic

 tables, horseshoe courts, and benches. So one evening he decided to go

 down and see how things were holding up. Much to his surprise, he heard

 voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was

 a group of young women skinny dipping in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep

end. One of the women shouted to him,

 "We're not coming out until you leave."
 The old farmer replied, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim

 or make you get out of the pond naked. I only came down to feed the

 alligator."
       

Moral: Old age and treachery will always triumph over youth and skill.

 

Signs

 

  On a Plumber's truck:

 "We repair what your husband fixed."

 

   In a Nonsmoking Area:

 "If we see smoke, we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action."

 

Naming patterns

 The following was supposedly a general naming pattern (ie. not a

rule or written in stone) beginning in the 18th century:

 1st son--named after father's father
 1st daughter--named after father's mother
 2nd son--named after mother's father
 2nd daughter--named after mother's mother
 3rd son--named after father
 3rd daughter--named after mother
4th son--named after father's oldest brother
 4th daughter--named after father's oldest sister
 5th son--named after mother's oldest brother
5th daughter--named after mother's oldest sister

 In Canada anyway, that this naming pattern survived

well  into the 19th century, although there were often deviations, for

example  if father's father & father's oldest brother had the same name,

there  would be another name chosen for the 4th son, etc.  Also there

might have been name omissions if either parent just didn't like one of the

names  they should have traditionally chosen, or if there was a family rift

or  quarrel with the person they should traditionally have named a child
after.

 

Memories of Tabusintac in the 1950’s & 60’s

 

Climbing trees and hanging upside down on the branches

 

Sliding of the roof of a house  or barn until we got caught!

 

Building Snow forts when the snow was “pack;y”

 

Teenage hangout at “Ham’s” The ice water chest filled coka cola chest.

 

Raymond’s  “Restaurant in Neguac. Booths, The Jukebox, 57 Chevys.

Wings on cars. Brylcream

 

Large bag of peppermints for 5 cents at Marquis’ store

 

Beach in summer and digging for clams by hand. “Clam cuts”

 

Smell of rotting bait at the wharf, Flies buzzing around

 

The feel of mud between our toes

 

Watching Fishermen’s nets stretched high between poles to dry

 

Weeding and watching the garden grow

 

Eating peas fresh out of the pods still warm from the sun.

 

Harvest time, Helping dig potatoes and bringing in the crops

 

The smell of pickles and chow being cooked

 

 

To be continued next month.

Thanks to Nancy Avery, Easter  for these great memories

Tabusintac Community Center Inc.

 

As many community members are aware, Tabusintac was not in the

Capital Budget list with the Department of Education to have the

school/community center built.  While disappointed, TCCI is still strongly 

committed to continuing to have this project built.

A meeting has been held with MLA Carmel Robichaud and committee

members will travel to Fredericton on Jan. 22 to meet with Education

minister Kelly Lamrock.

The annual meeting for TCCI will be held in early March.

We thank the community for its continued support with the project.

      We all have to work together to ensure that we will have a new school and community center built for the entire communities enjoyment and use.
