Again R.J.B. Reed,

I’m an older woman who still appreciates the wisdom of some of our Young Women……..You most assuredly are one of those Young women.

Yes, some of us do gain wisdom with age………but not always.  I see older women often that I would not consider Wise………

Hi De,

I don’t know if anyone remembers when men used big handkerchiefs…….well that’s what I used when nursing my son.  When the weather was warm it was so easy to just place a big hanky over us and be extremely discreet.  I did this mostly for my comfort zone.  I was not comfortable exposing myself.  I wouldn’t be comfortable exposing myself in the some of the bikini’s women wear either. But to each his own.

I think women have the right to feed their babies where ever it is necessary.

I also think it is beautiful.

andrea,

Boy, is that a sick comparison…….

Laurie,

If you look at the situation realistically……a woman nursing her baby (even uncovered by a blanket, rarely do you see that.)

has less breast exposure than  woman prancing around in a Bikini bathing suit……….my gosh the head and face of a baby

covers more of the womans breast than that tiny triangle called a bathing suit.

Most women are very discreet……….I think seeing a woman nurse her child is a very beautiful picture to behold.

America flaunts everything sexual……..advertising……..clothing women wear.  Breast are right out there in the public all the time, about the only thing that isn’t exposed is the Nipple itself.  Well a sweet baby’s mouth around it’s mothers nipple is not breast exposure.  It’s narrow minded people who need to get a reality check.

Nature designed the breast as a means to feed the offspring.

That fact that it’s a fun place to play sexually is just a bonus……

Sam,

How often we see people female or male who are so into just being superficially beautiful they never

bother to develop their personalities……..Over time it seems the ugliness just starts oozing out and they are no longer attractive at all.

I have two stories about Beauty that have inspired me………..

First, when I was thirteen I had a school friend who bragged about how beautiful her mother was.(all the time)

When I finally met her mother I was totally shocked.  She really wasn’t a pretty lady at all.  I went home and took a good look at my mother, I guess I had never thought one way or another whether my mother was pretty or not. I discovered truly that my mother was gorgeous……not only was her person physically beautiful but her inner spirit was almost heavenly. (She was by far the sweetest human being I have ever known in my life)

My second story happened in 1955……

I had been a Housewife raising my children at home.  After a divorce I had to go to work.

My first day on the job I was sitting in an area waiting to be assigned my place of work…..I noticed this one woman…..She literally was the most unattractive woman I had ever seen.  She was tall and skinny, her clothes hung on her like a rag……..she had extremely thin hair (you could see her scalp)….She had blotched skin..Her eyes were bulging…….and her two front teeth were what we used to call Buck Teeth, but to the extreme.

When I looked at her I thought……..Oh dear god, I hope I don’t have to work by this woman.  I will be feeling sorry for her every day.

Well, of course you know what happened.  I was assigned to work right next to her, with the instrument I worked on one stool over from hers.

This woman had the very best personality of anyone I had met up to that point in my life….she was almost as sweet as my mother. She had a great sense of humor.

Truly, within a week she was one of the most beautiful woman I have ever known.

I do admire beauty and have been told all my life that I am a beautiful girl/woman……….but that one short week in my life I learned something so valuable about beauty.

True beauty comes from within…….it’s not just a saying it is the truth.

I try to maintain my outer beauty with good skin care and stylish clothes and fun hairdo’s……….but I find my real beauty comes from trying to be the best person I can possibly be.

So I think I would have to say I’ve been beautiful most all of my life.

Oh my god Shirley,

You sound beautiful to me……………….

Hey Annie,

How about the good lunch deal………..Polish dogs with large soft drink……..$1.50

Can’t beat that.

Barbara,

I use my American Express card at Costco and get back 2% at the end of the year……..

I love that extra 3 or 4 hundred dollars in February.

Andrea,

I love Costco……(by the way our local Costco’s did handle the dog food episode properly.) I don’t have animals, but other family members do and they were very pleased with Costco’s concern.

The main reason I love Costco is they supply Electric shopping carts.

Other wise I wouldn’t be able to shop at all. They also offer the service of a Shopper to help you load and unload your basket.  One day I went in and the Electric carts were all in use.  The manager got someone to push me around shopping in a wheel chair.

I find all their merchandise top quality……their food is fresh and very good. And almost all their Paper goods and household products are cheaper than other stores……..also computer related items are cheaper.

 All the employee’s are polite and helpful ………always.

Now you know why I like COSTCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could go on and on but then I’d sound like a commercial………Maybe they’ll hire me..LOL

You mean back when we thought we knew it all……lol….

Eldebbo C, the Wowowow Site was designed to be a site for woman 40 and older.

Yes, there is a very big difference  In what I talked about with my friends when I was in my twenties and now in my seventy’s.

When the conversation turns to children instead of it being about my own it’s about my great-grandsons.

Of course the Sex talks when we were young were wonderful………..I’m glad I have a good memory.

I guess the most talks are about our families……Politics and the State of the World at large.

Hey Rush L………….

Tell all the mothers, fathers, wives, husbands and children how we had 8 years of Peace under George Bush.

I think when they go to visit the graves of their loved ones who lost their lives  during that 8 year period of (YOUR BULL SH*T PEACE) would differ with you………not even to mention the tens of thousands of Iraq’s who died.

What a Peace………….Are you insane or just NUTS.

If you think you’re funny about a subject of dead American soldiers you’re sadly mistaken.

Yes I’ve had that experience in a Big Way…………

This happened in 1957………..

A group of the neighborhood kid’s started using improper language about sex and the other mothers were concerned about how to handle the situation. (A discussion one day at a morning coffee clutch).

Anyone old enough to remember those………after the husbands went to work all the mothers gathered at each others homes for coffee before starting their day of work and child care.

At any rate the mothers asked me if I would be willing to explain the birds and bees to all the children.  I accepted this task on the condition that all the mothers be in attendance with their children.

We started out by asking each child what words they didn’t understand.

We got a lot of questions………like.  What does screw mean, what is a Dick, what is a rubber and of course the big one.  What does F*ck mean.  Where do babies come from………how do they get in Mommies tummy.

It was rather overwhelming.

So I started by explaining each word and taught them the proper word to use.

Then they wanted to know what a rubber was and what it was for.

As I explained to them it was used (if a mommie and daddy decided they didn’t want to have a baby right now).to keep the daddy’s seeds from going into the mommies vagina.  They wanted to know how to use a rubber.  Fortunately I had anticipated this question so I had a balloon with me for demonstration purposes. At the end of the demonstration my 7 year old son held up his hand to say something.

He said "Momma, I’m not ever going to get married" when I asked why he said "because if I ever put on a rubber I won’t be able to Pee anymore"

I had to hold in my laughter as he was very serious and so were all the other kids.

That was a memorable day for me and the other mothers.

In the future when we overheard our children talking about sex, they at least were using the proper words.  They also were always coming to me for their answers…………I became the Neighborhood Sex consultant. LOL

Thanks for the question…………I hadn’t thought about that for many years. Old memories are always fun to revisit.

Beth,

Some of our mutual friends on Facebook are wondering what happened to you…You’ve disappeared

from our friends list.  Drop me a line.  I think you have my email address.  I hope it’s a facebook error and we will still your smiling face each day.
