My jiggly belly is still doing it's thing from laughing so hard. And the diapers slash plastic pants? I had to use them for my first two and remember flushing diapers down the toilet by mistake sometimes...yuck is right! How did we ever survive them times. Guess the swim caps kept our brains contained anyway:)<br /><br />Thanks for the chuckles tonight...Vicki/Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11388688356180736777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-26101187772563612782011-07-12T06:47:45.699-06:002011-07-12T06:47:45.699-06:00LOL...

But remember, I'm the 74 year old who digs Young Adult lit. :-)))) This one isn't about vampires or werewolves though. The *kicker* in this book, is "The Fey." <br /><br />LOVE (some) books about "The Fey"!!! I even have a necklace made out of an old iron nail, which hubby made for me.... 'Cause everyone knows that real iron, protects against "bad Fey." >,-) <br /><br />Plus there are 2 more books in the series, to read.<br /><br />At present, I'm nearly done with a fun "Cozy Brit Mystery." I do jump around, with my reading. :-)<br /><br />~♥~Auntie sezzzzzz...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170232476926222740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-70533444956447769322011-07-12T06:04:09.010-06:002011-07-12T06:04:09.010-06:00Ugh!

And even before your memories. :-)<br /><br />First baby -- washing machine -- NO dryer -- NO diaper service -- soak the really baddddddd ones in toilet (1 toilet in house) - then into the "Diaper Pail" (Yikes!!!) - squeeze 'em out and down cellar, to washing machine -- EEEEEK!<br /><br />Never tried to wear a *girdle,* when I should have. Only way back, when I was tiny and didn't need it. Brilliant, hu?<br /><br />Bathing Caps? Oh yeah, but never could swim, so used them little. And back when I wore a bathing suit, I was tiny and fit in it. When I got to needing the BIG KIND, I stopped wearing bathing suits. <br /><br />See how practical, I am? -giggles- <br /><br />~♥~Auntie sezzzzzz...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170232476926222740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-22008121943431964652011-07-12T01:34:02.423-06:002011-07-12T01:34:02.423-06:00Ha-Ha!

If my bra is too tight or the waistline is squeezing a bit much on any given day, I start to feel sick! One day at work, I called my co-worker into the bathroom and asked her to loosen my bra as I didn't want to have to take everything off to do it. Phew! Felt so much better after that. <br /><br />When I was 12, I used to babysit the kids across the street from us. Miss Jane only used cloth diapers so I washed out many in the toilet. Folding clothes -- especially towels and cloth diapers was one of my favorite things to do at that time. <br /><br />Have a terrific Tuesday!

I don't know how women could stand to wear those! And then trying to get them off and on again everytime you go to pee or poop..OMG..no thanks! Too much work...I would probably pee in my girdle each time unless I really planned ahead and headed to the john at the slightest urge!<br /><br />~LinneaNeabearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311437927263063301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-86678656598174130122011-07-11T22:52:25.461-06:002011-07-11T22:52:25.461-06:00Wow all I want to do is breathe after this post!

We wore skirts which meant stockings so you needed garters which meant girdles...or at least a garter belt. (I won't even get into the discussion of how we sometimes wore a garter belt or girdle AND a "sanitary belt". To the young women of today..."You have no idea of the survival tactics we had to endure...put on your big girl panties/Spanx/thongs and deal with it!"<br />Great post Colleen...I laughed all the way through it!<br />xoxo<br />JoyceScrap for Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198495711815578352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-67212017959375717202011-07-11T17:46:34.999-06:002011-07-11T17:46:34.999-06:00You know they have Spanx in a full body encasement...You know they have Spanx in a full body encasement now--from the shoulders down to just above the knees. Then only your neck and calves will have the bloated effect. I get a headache thinking about a swim cap. I didn't use plastic pants or cloth diapers but I knew people who did. (stinky poo...ammonia extra strength) I went to laundramats back in the day when people would drive up, shake out the dirty diapers in the parking lot, and throw those ripe, filthy numbers in the machine that I had to wait for. I still remember the atrocities. Not a good time in my life. Not good. (Yes, I wore girdles too before control top panty hose.

That is the funniest post I...God love you, Colleen. That is the funniest post I've read in a while. Oh dear heavens me...the things we'll do!<br /><br />Do you remember the girdles that were like a little skirt, no legs? When I was 12, I inherited one from a gal four years older than I and skinnier. much. My mother made me try it on and all the while I was getting it on, she rolled around on the floor laughing (much as I've done here reading this). I was whining and carrying on like 12 year olds do when I made one mighty tug on the dang thing and it rolled up like a window shade right under my chest (what little of it there was). Yeah, I was nearly an ER visit myself. Couldn't breathe. Thought I would die. And Mother thought she'd die, too. Of laughter.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-29464870651855444092011-07-11T17:34:05.793-06:002011-07-11T17:34:05.793-06:00This is just too hilarious!
