    A breakdown of Fedora Loungers by sex, location, age and marital status

    Sometimes older men (say, 15 years older) will try to pick me up. I think they might have better luck with ladies their own age.

    Basic Training (Boot Camp) During WWII

    Our TI, who was about 5'-0" and 105 lbs., told us she was thrown down the stairs during basic training. I've heard far worse horror stories as well. I guess I'm not sure what you're supposed to learn from being kicked around.

    :offtopic: I like to garden, too. I have a book on growing roses that's just for the Denver area.

    Relax...dont do it?

    I think it can depend on the reason for your tension, and on the individual. Sometimes a stressful situation needs to be resolved, sometimes you just need more sleep. Sometimes there is something nagging you that needs to get done, but you don't want to do it.

    Relax...dont do it?

    Resting on the Sabbath I'm not a religious person, but I observe the Sabbath. Strictly observing it means not using electricity, not writing, not planting, not carrying anything (not even keys), not lighting a fire ... so what do you do? All the problems you've been avoiding come up. This...

    Relax...dont do it?

    I know what you mean. I have to work hard, and I have a tightly wound personality. A few things I've found helpful, though: Hard physical exercise (but not right before bedtime). This has been shown to help with depression as well as relaxation. Turn down the lights and play some soft music...

    Basic Training (Boot Camp) During WWII

    They were still shaving guys' heads in the mid-80s when I was in. Women could have longer hair but it had to be above the collar and out of the eyes and not need any fiddling with during the day. There was a photo at the Denver MEPS of a Native American with very long hair getting his head...

    What kind of look suits you best? Sporty? Elegant? Offbeat? Sleek?

    Does your library have a copy of The Three Musketeers? :whistling

    Windy Weather, skirts and dresses [huh]

    A big jaw clip (the kind used for hair)? It might be better for bunching than weighting. I think if you used it for weighting, it would just keep swinging into your knees. But if you used it for bunching, it might really hold the fabric in place and leave your hands free.

    Marry the wrong person and it will feel like eternity (so I've heard).

    advice regarding graduation dress

    I cannot see the dress on my computer. However, I would consider leaving a dress with sequins for evening wear, and wearing a less sparkly dress during the day. (Never mind that glitter tops are all the rage.) In either case, Congratulations!

    What to wear for a day at the races?

    Keep in mind that people behind you will want to see past your hat. :)

    Where can you get petty pants? I wear tap pants under my skirt when I go dancing, but sometimes they ride up. :o

    Stockings In The Summer?

    You can also buy peds at Walgreens. At work, we have to wear panty hose or stockings. We can't go bare-legged. When I go dancing, I wear a cotton t-shirt and skirt and sandals without stockings or socks. It's too hot, even in winter. I too have heard of women drawing a "seam" down the...
