I’m not sure what I’m doing with the collage above yet, but whatever it is, I’m having fun hoping I’ll have time to imagine it soon. It will probably be a fun parody of this bit of old advice, an article I tattoo on my corneas when I want to picture what it must have been to be a lovely little house woman in the ’50s.
Is that last pic real? If it is damn, that is bad. Good thing times change, golden age my a**.

I can’t vouch for its authenticity, but there’s nothing that leads me to believe it isn’t real. I know that earlier generations of women in my family had that sort of thinking drilled into them, as did the men.
Yes. When I hear of that “golden age” I shake my head and think of all the people that didn’t feel it as such, and I’m glad these times I can use that backward thinking as inspiration for satirical blog content.

I for one am so glad I don’t live in the fifties, reading through that article, being married to that kind of woman would irritate the hell out of me.
personally, give me a dirty house and a woman who’ll tell me when I’m being an idiot :P

Hahah! And attempting to be that kind of woman would have irritated the hell out of me as well. Heck, being told I must attempt to be such a woman would have been beyond annoying.
I prefer the dirty house and openness and freedom in a relationship, but I still hope no one calls you an idiot. There are nicer ways to show a man he’s being an idiot. :D
Seriously, I think one of the best feelings in a relationship comes from being with someone that knows you well enough to lead you away from trouble every once in a while, and knows how to do that without making you feel like an idiot.

Well I had a mighty…alright…ok…I know..I can’t have anything mighty…but to me it was mighty…*sighs*…alright…alright…it was a tinnnnny mighty chuckle. There…I got the mighty part in.
Aaaanyway, I can’t BELIEVE that article was published. Of course I already said this to you, but still…it’s amazing to me that such a “guide” was ever allowed to be printed and published. And the collage…well you know what that makes me see and think.
With you at the word-juggler controls…(shhhh), I agree what a fun parody you could turn this around into.
Man…reading this again just makes my blood boil. It’s difficult to believe this was possibly ever followed.
Your little squid

Gee, I was just thinking a couple of days ago that I never got around to working on my parody, and as it stands I don’t think I will be able to, not until well into this year.
Maybe you can do something with it, since you won’t be doing anything as colossally busy and gigantically important as I shall be. Heehee!
Thank you for the mighty tiny comment, little squid.
