Our state celebrated its 150th birthday in 2013 and David came to do an Abraham Lincoln reenactment (we were declared statehood in 1863 by Lincoln). I got to meet David backstage, and I was that giddy school kid again! His brother (just as handsome) was editor of our town's paper, located right down the street from our high school. When he'd walk past, we used to holler at him from our classroom windows).

We were born with hair! Anyway, I have earned every single hair on my chinny-chin-chin!!! I also have the Italian mustache which was given to me proudly by my nunnie and passed down by my mom and her mom. Otherwise, I'm not a very hairy person. Anyway...<br /><br />We watched Dark Shadows, too. I don't remember being creeped out about it. <br /><br />I can't believe how angry those nuns were. I have heard the most awful stories from the Catholic girls across the street when we were growing up. You would think that those women would have had blissful faces on while serving the lord, but apparently not. They must have thought of all the things they had given up for a life of poverty. I would have been bitter, too.rushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384758362254647340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-9513660909979929472016-06-04T20:33:22.462-07:002016-06-04T20:33:22.462-07:00Oh yeah

I spent two years in a Catholic boarding school.I was not Catholic and had never even seen a nun in person or in much of any form, for that matter, before living with them. Terror was struck in the hearts of both Catholic and non-Catholic alike one night when our "house Sister" dressed in her long black habit caught some of my room mates in a lie as to where and with whom they had spent that Saturday evening. At an older boy's house(no parents home). Jesus, Mary (and Joseph)! They had not been in town at a movie as they were scheduled to do. Sr. R loomed in the doorway in her long black habit, stamping her foot and screaming " I am sick and tired of this @#%! string of lies you are handing me!" We were all petrified and one of the girls started screaming "I'll tell you where we were tonight, Sister," whereupon she began to spill her guts. Her fellow dilenquents were ready to kill her, for sure. I was so scared that I was ready to fess up too and I hadn't even been with them. I can attest to the wrathful persuasion of an angry nun!lynn cockrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250601457878656085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-48318069461183690332016-06-03T23:24:47.588-07:002016-06-03T23:24:47.588-07:00Ah Suzan you are such a delight.

You're good for my health.<br />Now those nasty chin hairs, pesty aren't they? Since we stay home for days on end, no make up or spending time with mirror. Since hubs is very impatient person when he wants to go somewhere, I will get dressed but not put make up on, can do that in car. Only when I look in mirror my chin looks like Grizzly Adams. I ask hubs why he didn't tell me about chin hairs. He answers by asking what he was supposed to say? groan. I make sure to have tweezers in purse and mirror.Hope other drivers don't notice. The hair on chin gets worse as a woman gets older. Sorry to need to warn you about that. Get one of those "no-no's" advert on tv.

You didn't notice all the wrinkles when you were looking at all the chin hairs that you didn't know you had? Jesus, Mary and Moses(Southern Baptist upbringing)! If the hairs freaked you out, the wrinkles will cause you to need therapy! And, I too, could stand in for Barnabas Collins with the pale skin and dark circles I've got going on lately. And let's not even get into how my legs look like someone decoupaged a road map onto them! Getting older is not for the faint of heart.

Found wine, beer and cocktails helps me forget about them.... When in my very early 20's I first moved to NS, that is when I first heard the Jesus Mary and Joseph line. But added to that was also - and the f**king donkey! To dwhich someone responded - leave the poor f**cking donkey out of it! Ever heard that one before? I wonder if it's a Maritime thing, lots of Catholics here too of Irish decendency. We are hoping to finish year 3 of our reno's here by July then we will be putting the property up for sale. We have put all our savings into it, heart and soul. It has consumed us and now Dave no longer has his job in the oil field industry so we are hoping for a quick, break even sale. Hope you are soon finished with your renos.

Yu...Dear fellow repressed Nun educated Soul Sister,<br />Yup, all of the above sounds just like my childhood! It was nice going down Memory Lane with you! Since I am older than you by approx 10 years, from what I can gather, Dark Shadows wasn't around yet, so we rushed home to watch the original Mickey Mouse Club with Annette Funicello as one of the Mouskateers!<br />Chin Hairs are the bane of my existence and I'm always late going to bed because I start hunting them down by feeling them with my fingers and trying to see if I can find them in the mirror. The grey,(white), ones are really hard to see with my super myopic vision!! Do you think that eloctrodyalysis works? Do they still have electrodyalysis???<br />BTW, I feel like young people don't even know I'm around. The ones I encounter in California don't even acknowlege older people! They seem so self-absorbed, that I don't think they would notice even if my Chin hairs were braided and went all the way to the floor! <br />Have a great weekend!<br />XOXOXOX<br />Ethel<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771857135420281489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-86381997536972677092016-06-03T12:56:48.023-07:002016-06-03T12:56:48.023-07:00OMGoodness, I went to Catholic school too, for 13 ...OMGoodness, I went to Catholic school too, for 13 years (K through 12).

How interesting ! Yep.... that stray hair thing.... I've had the same thoughts. I'll get home after a day of shopping or whatever and see one long hair sticking out that I missed somehow or sprouted over night. OMG! Did the cute young cashier see that ??? did he think I was an old hag because of it ? Geez. Like I really care. Still...the thought goes through your head. It's like walking around with a big piece of broccoli stuck on the front of your teeth (which wouldn't happen to me because I don't touch the stuff), or having a long piece of toilet paper coming out the back of your jeans as you walk through a nice store....which I'm only in because I have a great coupon!
