This I.D It is taken from Mrs. Fern Falconer Luecke's wash pan of memories.

Just for fun and laughs please I.D. what she is holding. What is it called and what are some of it's uses?

As a little girl growing up i remember using it to pee at night time.It's call a chinme.

Chamber- for tolitery uses.

is it called a chimmy and you use it to pee in at night when you dont want to go out side to use the bathroom.

Is it a chimee(night pan)? used as a convenient portable night toilet in the ansence of indoor toilet.

This is a chimmey, it is used to pee pee in.

An enamel "Chamber Pot".Used in earlier time for urination,especially at nights

Of course, you are all correct! However, what else was this used for. What did it mean if someone said to you, "Talk to the Chimmie"?

Hi TB Net i have no idea what it meant to talk to the Chimmie.TB.Net could you share some light on this one.Thank you

This is 'the chamber mug' which was also referred to as 'the Lady's Piano'.It was so called because of the sound it would make when you pee in it.

Oh!the chimmie for many of us was all we had inside the house to ease ourselves at night. Does anyone remember what was the best thing to mend the chimmie when it starts leaking ?

Ole time people use to melt the Lignum Vitae gum an use it fi mend the chimmy when it a leak.

When the chimmie leaks, just put some wax on it and let it cool. It then becomes as good as new again.

Tar or the Cake soap was used then

I had the absolute pleasure of getting to sit in on summer camp at TBWG when Miss Fern came to tell stories and sing (that was right before Dean put an end to camp!). Fern is so special and amazing. I loved learning the Jamaican independence song and loved the way she encouraged the kids to join in and do some teaching, too. I taught the "Judy, Judy, you no see nobody pass here" song to the kids in one of the afterschool programs at my job, and we had a lot of fun singing it around the room. I have the coat of arms she gave out at the end of the day pinned to my handbag. People are always asking me about it, and thanks to Fern I can actually explain what each of the elements represents! That was one of the most fun afternoons of my trip, and I thank Jeanne for inviting me and Fern for making it so great.

Chimmie for peeing in of course. My grandfather called his the bed glass. When it got old some people used it for a flower pot.

in the good old days brother leeford made good use of it he can tell a lot about that thing their

That rigth many people still use it . because my grandmother still love it

So what does"Talk to the Chimmie mean" and what else was it used for?

I was told when someone was angry at someone else, they would hang the chimmie on the bedpost, hold up their hands and say, "Talk to the chimmie.", telling the other person what their opinion was of what they were saying.

I think all other uses I've heard of were covered above.
