We better be careful.

That was soooo funny. That's why I wear a bra.

I'd rather not have been there and done that! Keep 'em corralled girls!

This has been quite the thread! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I remember having to wear dresses to school - dress code stated that if you knelt on the floor, the dress had to touch the floor. (Combat those rising hemlines, you know :roll: )
My mom wore dresses every day. About the time I left for college, she started wearing slacks, because she was leading Girl Scouts for my sisters' troops. The clean house, the sit-down breakfast for all of us, dinner at 6:00 pm, right after dad walked in the door... Ah, well. Little of this rubbed off on me.

But reading the excerpt from the manual circa 1949 was great. Thanks! You started my day with much laughter

Well, we've come a long way baby. Now we go to work, come home, cook, do the grocery shopping etc. DH and I sit on the couch after work and complain about who has to cook...so I guess there has been some progress. He does cook, and quite often. He's been out of work for a year, so I think it's his job now for the most part.

I have read all of these posts and I am still LOL! My day just depends on what I have going on. If I have a project on the table that kept me awake most of the night thinking, I hit the coffee button, let the dog out and I am off to sew in my jammies until about 230 or 300. Finally shower and shine.
If I don't have something that I absolutely cannot wait to get to I WILL add to the day by throwing in a load of laundry, turning on the dishwasher(or empty) and Then head for the machine (or go on this site and just read everything!)
Many times I will lay something out at night and just cannot seem to get it right. I am up early the next morning and most times I walk in my sewing room and know exactly what I need to change. Do any of you do that?????
I think we are all a little nutsy! :D :-) I am happy with it!

Yes, I do that do. Just walk away and when you are least expecting it, it pops in your mind just as clear as a bell.

I'll bet women didn't think like this! I'll bet a MAN wrote those words, or at least invented the sentiment behind it. If the author is listed as a woman, I might be somewhat suspicious that it was more likely a man.

ROFLMAO!! to all the replies to this posting.DDs think I'm crazy but what's new. I am dressed, sort of, to sew b/c machine is presently in living room. Hope to move it to sewing cave quite soon and then I probably won't wear much more than jammies to sew in. No makeup and dresses rarely for church but for funerals. I do have pearls but cannot remember the last time I wore them. My mother didn't follow this advice most likley but my grandmother may have as I've seen old photos of her with hair all done, hat, gloves, purse, you name - the whole works. Thanks for the laughs everyone!
