Because I can't believe that they're willing to make less money than men AND wear uncomfortable underwear while they do it! The making less money part is bad enough! Still working on fixing that, of course, but let's not give back the advances we have been able to make.<br /><br />My dad used to tell me that it would be confusing to grow up as one of my daughters because you'd never be sure whether Santa Claus was a man or a woman . . . yes, I guess I'm a bit of a soap box-er on women's issues, but I hope that's only made my girls feel NO NEED WHATSOEVER to worry about lacing themselves up before they head out the door every day.susan m hinckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073318305866251569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-83096819506786982322009-11-10T21:32:09.029-06:002009-11-10T21:32:09.029-06:00i LOVE when you bring out the vintage lingerie ads...i LOVE when you bring out the vintage lingerie ads!!!! thank you, o thank you, for the great laughs. yes, luane, thank goodness for no cone-bra resurgence (and yes i had clicked on that pic before you even suggested it and my only thought was "madonna".) however, i must acknowledge that i have bought into this whole girdle idea. the british "what not to wear ladies" won me over when they repeatedly said: "don't go on a diet to lose 10 lbs, just wear better underwear." although i only wear girdles/control top pantyhose on sundays.<br /><br />thanks for your comments on my blog. i must admit it is fun to see your kid grow and develop: lily is learning to read, grace is becoming more adult like and it's nice to be able to rely on her more, fritzy says the cutest things, etc.... i'm looking forward to the adventures we can do as a family with older children. still sad to know that my snuggle moments may be drawing to a close.<br /><br />anyhoo, lots of love. glad to be part of susan nation again!!!aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486220662265923979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-53056531747081254512009-11-10T19:49:55.200-06:002009-11-10T19:49:55.200-06:00My verification word is *slyses*, how oddly approp...My verification word is *slyses*, how oddly appropriate.<br /><br />I'm old enough to remember wearing a girdle in my teens (and the constant compression stomach ache) before pantyhose became affordable and "liberated" us.<br /><br />Yet when those shaper things came out in recent years, they sounded so innocuous, and everyone was singing their praises. Who can resist "look 10 pounds thinner instantly!" -- so I made the mistake of TRYING to try one on. I probably burned a whole dessert's worth of calories just trying to get it on and off.<br /><br />Conclusion: same old torture, new-age package. No thanks.<br /><br />But at least we've escaped the return of the cone-boobs so far. Let's celebrate that... please pass the cake!luannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988903685484563941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-37318149370618480402009-11-10T14:14:12.932-06:002009-11-10T14:14:12.932-06:00Three is appropriate, *six is my goal especially w...Three is appropriate, *six is my goal especially with those awesome new foundations! I can't wait for the return of wool bathing suits. But on a more professional note (coming from a semi-professional baker and gingerbread artist-you don't even want to know how much sugar floats around my house) if it melts in your mouth it must be considered a fluid and as we all know it is cold and flu season for which Doctors recommend lots of fluids and plenty of rest - which reminds me it's time for my midday nap...Doctors' Orders! *note to Hinckley girls - though my metabolism isn't the same, my swimmer's appetite has never changed!

I couldn't figure out why they were sending them to a pet store...hehe.<br /><br />I'll have you know, I'm eating cake for breakfast this very minute.

God bless my mother, perfect little round woman that she is. Cake has eggs, which makes it healthy.<br /><br />My girlfriend tried on a foundational garment the other day. But it had hooks all up the back, and she didn't have anyone with her to do it up - so she put it on backwards, did up the hooks, and tried to turn it. She thinks she permanently displaced some body parts.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.com
