>Chamber Pots are not soooo old! Or if they are, that makes me toooo old! I
am 62 years "young" as Carol says. I was raised with the old "out-house"
and the "slop jar", as my mother called it. Is that her term or was it
referred to by that?? I do not know, I just know I welcomed it in the middle
of the night, as I was tooo petrified to go outside in the dark >by myself!

The term "chamber pot" was one that I didn't hear until I was an adult,
reading about the "good old days". We, too, had one but it was *only* for
use in the night or for dire emergencies.<G> In our family, it was called
'the Nicodemus'......... so named because of Nicodemus, in the bible, who
went by night to see Jesus. So, in my family Nicodemus meant only one thing.
When my husband and I finally moved to our "dream house", where was it
located?.............Nicodemus Road......my family is still laughing about
that.
