teh antler story came round again.... the fact that reindeer males drop thier antlers in november / december so teh bunch dragging the fat man in the red suit around teh world not getting lost must have been fermales. ******* i learned about antlers when i was "animal episodes" we had been hired to provide santas"farm" on boston common for 30 days ( also $30,000 which woudl paY ALOT O F COLLEGE TUTION... AT LEAST YEARS AGO)- I HAVE ENOUGH MOSTLY FUNNY STORIES ABOUT THAT 30 DAYS TO FILL A BOOK .. BUT THE ANTLER BIT-- I HAD A N AQUAINTENCE IN NH WHO OWNED A FAIRLY TAME REINDEER- AND I RENTED IT FROM HER ( PART OF TEH $30000) FOR THE MONTH-- PROMISING NOT TO HAVE IT ANYWHERE NEAR SHEEP BECAUSE OF SOME GERMS TEHY PASS BACK AND FORTH- SHE TOLD ME YOU LED A REINDEER WITH 2 PEOPLE-- 2 LEAD ROPES AND A HAND ON EACH ANTLER...-----THAT WAS MY TOTAL KNNOWLEDGE OF REINDEER -
WELL THE GOVENOR WANTED A PICTURE OF HIMSELF WITH TEH REINDEER ON TH STEPS OF THE STATEHOUSE WHICH WAS RIGHT ACROSS TEH STREET FROM OUR PORTABLE SANTAS FARM ON BOSTON COMMON.. NO PROBLEM.....?!? JANINE - THEN A BU STUDENT- AND FRIEND CINDY WITH 2 ROPES AND ONE REINDEER WENT UP TO THE STATE HOUSE-- AND THE SET UP WAS GOING VERY WELL UNTIL THE REINDEER FLIPPED HIS HEAD AND JANINE'S ANTLER CAME OFF AND CINDY LOST CONTROL- APPARENTLY THERE WAS AN AWKWARD EPISODE OF THE GOVENOR WITH HIS POLICE ESCORT COMING DOWN THE HALL OF THE STATEHOUSE MEETING UP WITH A FRIGHTENED, ONE ANTLERED REINDEER FOLLOWED BY JANINE RUNNING WHILE STILL CARRYING THE OTHER ANTLER.. THE PHOTO THEY GOT LOOKED FINE AS JANINE CASULALLY HELD THE OTHER ANTLER IN PLACE
SO MUCH FOR TEH WORLD OF PHOTOGRAPHY.

THE OTHER THING I FELT I MUST SHARE IS ABOTU DETERGENT- THER WAS AN AD ON TV ABOUT BUYING CAPSULES OF SOMETHIGN - ADDING IT TO A SPRAY BOTTLE AND NEVER BUYING CLEANER AGAIN.-- I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS/IS.... BUT...... WHEN I WAS FIRST OUT OPF COLLEGE I WENT TO SAN FRAN TO INTREVIEW FOR A JOB- AND MY MOTHER HAD A FRIEDN THERE WITH WHOM I COUD STAY-- SHE WAS A CHEMIST , I WAS TOLD, AND THE HIGHEST PAYING FEMALE IN ?SHELL CHEMICAL?
WELL... SHE HAD A CONTAINTER OR WHAT LOOKED LIKE SOAP POWDER--- AND LEFT ME A NOTE TO START THE CLOTHES WASHER WITH 1/4 TEASPOON OF THIS POWDER-- TEH NOTE SAID "THAGT'S RIGHT 1/4 TEASPOON" - I WAS USED TO 1/2 CUP OF TIDE POWDER.. BUT THIS WAS ODD... LATER, I ASKED HER 1/4 TEASP????? AND SHE EXPLAINED IT WAS PURE DETERGENT ... AND WHEN YOU BOUGHT THE STUFF IN THE STORE EVERYTHING ELSE WAS USELESS FILLER AND PERFUME.
SO HERE WE ARE 50 YEARS LATER (2019 - 1959) AND SOMEOEN IS NOW SELLING IT THAT WAY??????
