A Jamaican deli near my home has added this chair. I'm tempted to sit and read there.

Yessss! I actually remember that business of 'oh but you're not going to...to... wash your hair, are you? I mean...at this time of the month?'
Tell me, that deli: are the hair products offered as a side or...?
Vina Delmar ( by the way, that means 'graveyard by the sea', how romantic): her real name was Alvina Croter, she was born in 1903. I see the Marcaboth Women is about an overbearing mother and Women Live Too Long has no tagline (Ms Croter died in 1990, perhaps she would have preferred to die sooner? What sayest thou? )
That Tom: Yes Eva, vat a guy you married indeed. Milk of Magnesia will put the romance back in a marriage any day. Next time? Bring the bottle to the party. That way you'll both get to have a great time.
Once upon a time, a girl who bought Tampax before she was married, well... everybody knew what THAT meant.
Ah, the good old days... Thanks for the memories, A R.
Dunno Avid...about that deli. I mean, are those plungers there for more than one reason? Convenient locale!
it's sort of a general store I guess--the other side is the food side.
Funny, where do you find all these tacky old clippings?
You find the best clippings/mailing labels/all round things. we are being up in the area of yours in June . . .
"(Tampax)...to us it certainly spells emancipation." That last clipping, "Once upon a time, my dears..." certainly got that RIGHT. I was definitely happy to get rid of those pins, belts and
2x4 sized sanitary napkin. Well, they called it a napkin but it felt more like a telephone book between my thighs.
Some things have improved with time! What a liberation to be free of all those belts and pads! But an even greater liberation not to get a period every month! It's really too bad we can't go through menopause after childbearing is finished.
Back in my dorm days at school (back before fire and the wheel) we used to call a napkin a "mouse mattress"
I'm glad I wasn't menstruating in "the good old days."
Even fewer people dare to be old and different.
I'm feeling a bit woozy with all this femal talk. I may still have a bottle of Phillips somewhere. I'll bet ti cures wooziness.
Actually, June is off . . . but I suggest you read The Thin Place (not related to June happenings/not happenings)
:-)
I'd not come across that first thing, about not washing hair....??? (despite being old enough to remember the hideous discomfort of those brick-pads and elastic belt things)
ah, some things have truly changed for the better
