    That is hilarious! I love those types of instructions. I had NO idea what I was supposed to do. *hanging my head in shame*

    I find that oreo cookies can easily take the place of the powder. At least they taste better when you lick your fingers.

    Does this mean I have to pick the threads off of my shirt too?
    What if I just promise not to "try on" my quilts?

    These attitudes have always amused me as to where they originated - I don't think too many men would have cared how we looked whilst sewing, cooking, cleaning, (just so long as they didn't have to do it too often...) so - did we impose all of this on ourselves?? What a privilege to be somebody's slave..
    Many thanks for the excerpta - very amusing. The 1950's school text books in Home Science in this country had similar entries.

    Oh I just saw this thread hahahahah....Well I am one that gets up and gets dressed and makeup et all, lol. I just feel good about myself when I am ready for the day. It sure was a good thing the day I was taken to emergency. I was showered dressed and made up. I have done it for years and hubby is always giving me compliments.

    I guess the other part is that I have so many clothes from my shopping days hahahahahah...I have to wear them just like I have to use the fabric I buy...Now that's not to say that some days I do stagger out in my pj, and have coffee and sit in a daze for an hour or so before going through my ritual. Since I have always done my own hair and nails, it's no big deal.

    I don't mind cooking and do cook but not everyday as hubby does all the cleaning...

    I agree with you whole heartedly on this one. I failed too. I just finished reading everyones comments we all sound like we are related in one way or another. LMAO
    I think it is the quilters in us that make us alike.. after all we have to be to understand each other.

    I am so glad I didn't live back then. I would have never got any sewing done. Couldn't afford the plastic surgeon to make me look that damn good on a good day much less on a bad day.

    So, would they consider this appropriate?

    All dress up, with jewelry, for sewing!

    that is so funny. i was notorious for pulling out the vacuum cleaner just before dh came home so it would look like i vacuumed. i had to remember to plug it in.

    isn't it amazing what you can make someone believe without saying a word?
