    a tampax pad wrapper?  Boy,  I bet he thought he was funny Aussie.

    I remember the patent leather shoe warnings.. as it one could really see the reflection.  In those days, we all wore saddle shoes.  I wish I had a pair now.

    According to wikipedia:

    The term “bobby socks” appears to date to around 1927, right around the period when it became fashionable and acceptable for women to display their ankles. The “bobby” in “bobby socks” is a bit of an enigmatic figure, as there is no clear explanation for the origins of the name. Some researchers have suggested that it may be related to the “bobby pin” which was in vogue during the same period.

    Which, of course, leads us to the question:  why "bobby" pins?!  Sometimes, Wiki isn't very helpful!

    My husband had no clue how a doctor would warm a speculum, so that's a good question. I wonder if guys know what bobby pins are?

    Anybody around in the 70's know what a "twiggy" was? For whatever reason, that's what my mom called the hair bands with a metal gather in the middle and a ball on each end. my friends moms all called them "boing boings." Do they still even sell those?

    Hi, Margie: That's the point of this - to eliminate the questions that women can't answer. Tell me which ones don't work for you, and I'll get them changed.

    I admit there's a total USA bias in my questions, and a bias towards the era in which I grew up. I'll work to fix that.

    Can everybody answer the speculum question?

    hrf: They warm it up in the sink by running warm water over it. Have you ever had a pelvic exam, or a PAP smear? Where they put the metal (or plastic) speculum inside of you?

    bobby pins.. hair pins to pin back bobs.  the cutest haircut ever and why i wish i had hair again.

    Pippi Longstocking and Anne of G.G.  were a couple of my favorite books ever.  I just loved to read.  I was the oldest of many kids and my job was to watch them.. I took them to a library twice a week in the summer and would get out my allowed 4 books each time, so I read 8 books a week... plus a few more. 

    We had a contest at my school to see who had read the most books over the summer and I told them I had read 108.. ( a few extra from the shelves at home, like Lives of the Saints).  I would sit in the backyard on the lounge swing thing.. lock the gates of the yard and let the kids play, reading all the time.

    So, when I went up to get my award in my saddle shoes, still prepubescent, my 6th grade teacher.. said " Mary is a Liar!  There is no way she could have read 108 books" and gave the award to another Mary"  Boy was I mad.  I saw her years later (she was a nun.. and quite elderly then.)  She said "You were always my favorite student").

     I told her that  I liked her hair that was hand dyed, which she used to have covered up with a nun's veil.. what a drag to have to wear one of those. 

    This was back in the days of washing one's hair with raw eggs and vinegar rinse and ironing it on an ironing board.

    Remember the smell of Prell?
