My little dog was 11 on 1st April. I had to have her put to sleep on Tuesday, her liver had stopped working. But she had been her normal self until the day before, so it's been a shock. I am still crying a lot. Your dogs are adorable

[@janicecoulson5388]

When I was a child I had to thread newspaper on string to hang in the toilet, as we didn't have toilet paper

Arne, I wanted to paint my whole life. I finally began when I was 52 yrs old. I’m now 64 and paint all the time. It’s a true love in my life and gives me so much joy. Don’t put it off, try and enjoy! 🎨

I'm laughing so hard...from Arne's hoarding to outhouse history. Loved every minute. You two were made for each other...Carlos so easy going and Arne collecting everything beautiful.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you are laughing!

[@bratsmom6749]

Your toilet paper stories are killing me! I have a boss who's a real tightwad. When the TP was almost empty, I asked if I should go to the store, and he said no because wasn't going to buy it anymore. When I asked why, he said, "Because you don't deserve it!" I just about died laughing! I started bringing my own and wouldn't share with him, so he had to go home to go to the bathroom! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

[@ARNECARLOS]

😂That is hilarious!

[@edejan]

When I visited my Grandmother in the country 60 years ago, she had an outhouse with no toilet paper either. I think it used to be that way.

[@Stettafire]

@@edejan They used to use newspaper. They also used to wrap chips in newspaper too. So people would buy their chips and then use the newspaper in the outhouse. There's an expression here for a paper being "not fit to whipe your arse with" that's where it comes from. This is in the UK.

[@charmainerohde8575]

The look of panic on Carlos' face when Arne says, "have to buy more yarn." Carlos: "what about our stash?" Thanks for another enjoyable, hilarious visit. You two are wonderful. I learned alot today. The outhouse/Royals stories, the mitten types, intro to other KZbinrs. So interesting and fun! Thanks!

I love your Norwegian 15 minutes! I love that Arne calls himself a collector, not a hoarder. I should think you would have hundreds of people applying to dog-sit and house-sit for you. And that would just be people from your local area. Internationally it would be thousands and they would probably pay you for the honour!!!

Love listening to you both. When I was very young I too started collecting dolls wearing traditional dress of a country. My mom kept them in her loft until she moved house about 21 years ago, so they went in our loft. That is where they stayed until we moved 11 years ago. Had to throw them all away as they had rotted. Such a shame and good memories.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That's a shame. Maybe you can start collecting again😉

In the 1960's we also used newspaper in the toilet... It was my job to cut the papers up and put them on string.. Toilet paper was a luxury for when guests came to visit. You were very privileged Carlos!

[@ARNECARLOS]

That was an interesting job!

[@csporterful]

Love your podcast! During the 1950s, the outhouse at our lake cabin in Montana always had a Sears catalog for both reading and “hygiene” use. Was a big day when actual toilet tissue appeared there.

Yes! I'm turning 75 years old and we had an outhouse on the farm in Arkansas. There were stacks of newspapers and magazines in the outhouse! We also had to use pump water and I still remember the taste of it. Then they did something in the kitchen and we had a pump in the sink to bring up the water. That was high class when you didn't have to go to the well. Thanks for the memories.

I AM that old! I do remember that incident! Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan! Love those posters, too! I think you have "joint custody" of Helmer - maybe Freya's breeder will agree to host Helmer when you travel. If not, I am available - but I live in Minnesota! :) Carlos, your sister is in Austin, Texas? Pre-COVID I used to fly into Austin a lot! My daughter and her family live near Austin! Small, small world!♥ I have maps of snowmobile trails in our outhouse in case anyone is lost! :) We also keep Jaegermeister liquor in our little guest cabin, so if some one is lost and frozen they can warm up!

I greatly empathize with your souvenir doll dilemma Carlos... My brother and I fought over who would have to take possession of my Mother's souvenir spoon collection. I lost. They are currently in a jumble in an old mandarin orange box. They are totally worthless, but Mum was so proud of the darn things that I can't quite bring myself to dump them in the charity bin.

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️

[@debracisneroshhp2827]

@sparkie, You know, 'collections' are worth something to 'collectors'. Maybe you can clean them up, get a few spoon presentation plaques and either sell them as a 'complete collection' online, at a flea market, or at a consignment shop and get a little something for them. Just a thought. 💖🙌🙌🙌😺

[@donnajohnson9834]

I can understand that feeling of honoring your moms love of the spoons, but with similar things I end up with, I try to find a nice shop to take them to, and trust that now someone else will find them who will be so excited to discover them and start collecting anew. The spoons will love being loved again!

My 95 year old great grandfather, lived on a farm in the middle of Finland in the early 1970s. No running water, just a pump and well and a five seater outhouse with a box of neatly cut up newspapers. He did not allow alcohol in his house, so while on a visit to see him, my parents, aunts and uncles, would sneak into the outhouse to party, after he went to sleep. I have photos of them merrily poised on the seats, drinking beer. On that note, check out “Schitt’s Creek” which one a ton of Emmy awards. It is a Canadian show, that was filmed near my home. It is hilarious and the clothes are mind boggling. Last thing: do you brush your dogs’ teeth? After spending thousands of dollars having my dog Pippin’s cleaned and many removed, I now brush all three dogs teeth. Daisy and Freya have beautiful teeth, and fifteen year old Pippin has much fresher breath. Every evening, I line up the toothbrushes and away we go. I am living the dream (Covid dream anyways).

Loved the whole episode (as usual!) - so many interesting topics, but I especially enjoyed hearing about your photo shoot - I shared that segment with my daughter, who is a professional photographer based in Brooklyn. She has also - not always by design! - been a [simultaneous] stylist, art director, producer and even model, though she prefers having a team for all that. And of course not having to stay six feet from everyone! The Rowan books are always so beautiful - can't wait to see you two in your vintage sweaters - and boots!

I get it Arne...I was just given at least 50 knitting pattern books from my Cousin dated between 1930 and 1960...dont know if I will ever knit any of them but love looking at them. She also sent me my Grandmother's costume jewellery from the 50's that she would wear to Bingo...our family lived with my Grandparents so this brought back many memories of my Grandmother. I bought a shadow box and have her jewellery displayed with a picture of her when she was 17 yrs old and my Grandparents 50th wedding anniversary...great memories of my Grandparents to have. My 86 yr old mother lives with us now so nice to have this for her as well. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember much of the past these days. Glad to see you back, you were missed! , Sharon.

Glorious discovery! I have been knitting non-continental style for 60 years, but arthritis is beginning to make long stints of knitting very painful. I have always found following tutorials difficult as I am left-handed. But quite accidentally I has my tablet open opposite a mirror AND I could see how to follow a tutorial. So then I set it all up with the Carlos knitting basics AND have nearly finished a garter stitch cardigan using his method...I am so happy

[@ARNECARLOS]

Wow, that is very impressive, well done!

Arne and I are kindred spirits. If I think I can find a use for it, I'm keeping it. :-) Carlos, I too am OVER Covid; however, Covid is the reason I started searching for KZbin crafters to connect with other creative people, even if the connection is only "virtual." That is how (and why) I found you guys, and I am grateful. I love your videos and I love the relationship the two of you share. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

I am so with you two and cannot wait until we (in the US) can travel again and cannot wait to see friends and family. If finds yourselves here in the States, specifically on the East Coast, do consider coming to North Carolina. We have beautiful mountains and beautiful beaches. I happened to catch Petra and Natasha on the channel. While it started precariously, it sounds like a great time. One of these days, I hope to attend one of your cruises or events, especially along the Norwegian coast. A hundred years ago, fourth grade maybe, I did a report on Norway and Iceland. Both of these countries remain on my travel bucket list. Add me to keep Helmer team; Freia will miss him too much. Cheers to you both.

Hiya guys!😊❤Love it when Arne makes up reasons (? Excuses?)for another acquisions trip! Really is a master shopper!l bought supplies over the years and created my own stash/"archives" collection and packed them into suitcases to store- all for when l retired and mightn't be able to afford so much! Now whenever l open a case everything leaps out (&, believe me, you cannot make/ get it to fit back in in it's entirety) yet l still seem to need to add a little something to whatever lm using from the case!,Lol! 😂❤But,Carlos is so generous natured and accepting of Arne's nature! Just enjoy your characters and happy natured goodwill to everyone! Stay well, safe, and content ❤XOXO! As always,J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 😀 Julia. 😊

My last knitting adventure was to meet you in St Thomas, Ontario hosted by the Red Mitten. I was on the bus that was late to arrive because of the storm. The adventure continued when the bus broke down and we had to be rescued by Rescue 401, and another bus was sent to get us home. Truly and Arne and Carlos Knitting Adventure. You two were so kind and wonderful I'd do it all over again. Not sure I'd bring good luck if I ventured on one of your cruised though. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

Such an adventurous trip!😂💖
