[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 243629, member: 47"] omg Sheila, I had totally forgotten about girdles. I remember staying at my grandmothers and every morning she would put on a nipple pink color camisol (the kind not even close to anything girley, then put on a corset - had to help her lace that up, same color, then he put on these hugh pair of bloomer type underpants (same color) - then a housecoat, then the apron. This ensamble was then completed with nylons rolled like donuts around her ankles, and the rosary beads were put in her pocket. It was Saddle Shoes or Penny loafers, and you had one pair of shiney Mary Janes for Church, a lace head scarf and a pair of white gloves. I hated wearing garterbelts and nylons when I was younger - never could get my stocking straight and had to constantly re-adjust them so they wern't sagging somewhere. I remember thinking I had died and gone to heaven when Panty Hose were invented. Garbage men came into the yard with a HUGH square of burlap, and dumped your can on them, tied up the four ends and hauled that back to the truck. And I never saw a white garbage man till I moved to Ca in the 60's. A few times a week the hucksters came and parked on the street, and everyone would come out to buy fresh veggies and fruit. Never ate boxed pasta till I was in my teens. My grandmother would roll out dough on the table using a hugh round post, put that thru the pasta machine. It then went into a pizza box and in the freezer (one just for this frozen pasta. I still remember Stan, who was the ultimate in Hucksters, who sold tablecloths and doilies and knicknacks. Believe it or not, I still have some tablecloths from Stans truck that my grandmother bought and never used - still have the tags on them. We used to freeze our clothes as well Sheila and then Iron them. They were all washed in Felz Napta soap LOL Marcie [/QUOTE]
