Hello Sue,
Glad your thumb is coming along.
Are you trying to age all of us young women?
Yes, I remember the pantyhose days. Now we can forget about them, and the bouffant hair styles, especially the flip style.
How is your garden doing?
Too hot in my neck of the woods for outside activity.

@funcountess I was actually referring to pre-pantyhose days. My Dad insisted we use the lines in the basement!
Yesterday it was 100 here, today it's only 80 with a breeze, so I'm alternating between reading on the patio and doing a little weeding. Everything is blooming and the bees and butterflies are very busy.

@becsbuddy The cast is now a removable splint. The OT gave me several washable sleeves to wear inside of it, and I had a couple here from my previous surgery. So yes, it is HOT, but as soon as I come in, I take it off, wash up and let it air dry, then put it back on with a clean sleeve. I do the same if I go to the store or anywhere, except I also wash the splint with soap & water. Once a day I handwash all the dirty sleeves & all of our used masks and hang them on the shower rod to dry. Yesterday I had 4 sleeves and 4 masks hanging there. Remember the days when we used to do that with all our nylon hose and "unmentionables"? That's what our main bath reminds me of - good thing we don't have guests these days.

Sue,
You could not be talking about nylons with guarder belts, could you? Those things in the Smithenson institute, under pre historic days ?
Gee my memory only goes back to Hilary and the pant suit days.

@funcountess, I still shudder thinking back to those bouffant hair styles! I spent a summer at Corpus Christi following graduation and it took a can of Aqua Net each day to keep my beehive in place...looked like those state fair spun sugar confections on a stick...I was pretty skinny too come to think of it... We've had a long string of 100+ temps here and today felt almost like a "blue norther" with the drop down into the 80's . Took an extra long walk to celebrate!

@funcountess, You couldn't be referring to those indestructible polyester pant suits could you? A guy I dated in my foggy past finally gathered up his many gathering dust polyester pant suits to donate. I was with him when the donation outlet refused to take them. It was all I could do to keep from bursting into peals of laughter. Remember he was quite offended and huffy at the time. Soo funny.

@sueinmn, So Glad to hear that you've been "promoted" to a removable splint. That has to be easier for you and allows for more skin breathing too. Panty hose and "unmentionables" drying on the rod...those were the days my friend! vbg What a joy giving up those panyhose was. I kept some to use as "soft ties" in training outdoor fence climbers until finding store bought purchases to use. Thanks for the memory.
