That sounds like a euphemism for something. I'm just not sure what! :mrgreen:

I haven't thought about a girdle since, when I was a child, my Mom(who is now 87 yrs young) bought one of those new Playtex Living Girdles...the thing was made from some kind rubber... the day she tried it on was very, VERY hot...the first time she tried to go to the bathroom, it wouldn't budge...she finally had to get my Dad to cut the thing off of her very carefully with scissors...and it didn't help that all of us, especially my Dad, were laughing...she never bought another one!!! lol...Naomi :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

The girdle is a hoot. It's bad enough we have to wear the d*# bra. But to put that on too.

You certainly hit the jackpot. I went past my local shop and I have spied two yes two sewing machine stands and I am pretty sure that there were cords hanging out of one. So it is off to shop this morn while hubby is at work.

You could get a few $$ for that. A scrapbooker would snatch it right up. In fact, 7 Gypsies would probably retail it for 6.99!!

Not a plastic spool in the box, although some are styrofoam. Some are from before Coats and Clark were Coats and Clark -- they are just Coats or Clark. And some name's I've not seen before.
