YEP... That trust is as much as gone.

Yep.  It happened when he nearly lost in Texas.  Something about needing Trump endorsement.  He's changed. 

[Chosen Daughter]

BZZZZZZ!  Wrong again.

I stopped reading your crap years ago.

Oh, it has been years.  Your right and they have been long ones.  If you stopped reading there wouldn't be anything to complain about right?

[DCPatriot]

Merely a case of seeing so many fellow members' posts reassuring me I had you pegged right from your start here.

PS:  And it's "you're", not "your".

Oh, I spelled it wrong.  Michelle Bachman.  Wasn't she the Evangelical?

I believe she is.

  I can't be sure, but might be a good thing we don't know what you look like.

You would become overwhelmed with lust,and faint from an overdose of "the vapors".

You don't known what "being overcome with the vapors" means?

You have my sympathy.

Pete...  factoid (from a student of history).  I have seen data where it is beleived that 60-70% of the women in this country were addicted to Laudlum in the late 19th century.  My intuition tells me sometimes a "reason" was needed for a hit.

Yeah, yeah... 'feeling faint'... corset too tight and she ain't getting enough air... emotionally distraught.. Overcome. riiiiight...

Retiring to another room with the vapours is a polite way for a woman to say she's gonna go in the other room, loosen her corset, and let loose like a western mule-skinner.  She's gonna go in there, haul off, and fart like the barber's cat. She's gonna let loose the thunder, and with all them crinolines and their static there may be lightning. A small herd of ladies go with her because it takes a herd of em to shake all the stank outta them petticoats. Can't have her returning to the cotillion draggin hell's own stench along behind her.

The two definitions are uniquely related and intertwined, as a tightly bound corset leaves no room for  expansion with gas, so indeed, letting the corset loose and allowing the gas to pass can solve the issue of feeling faint.

But while the term originates in Greek 'eminations of the womb', and applies to a sort of female hysteria (we get the word from the Greek word for womb), but by the time of the Antebellum South, women used the excuse of 'female frailty' for a host of things.... foremost among them, the need to loosen the corset, and the need for eminations of another kind. Female mystery shrouded the communication: "C'mon Rebecca... Let's go out back... I gotta fart."

That is an interesting intuition. And likely there is truth in it.

Good thing women don't wear those evil corsets anymore.

Agreed.  Interestingly, people still get "The Vapours."

Hey, you'll get no beef from me... Even so, women still do a whole lot of nonsense for the sake of vanity. I get that appearances matter to women, I do. But the whole 9 yards they do every day has never made sense to me... Growing up around mountain gals, I guess. Hilljillies have all that stuff in their toy box, but it's for the rare occasion, not for every day... And I will tell you what, when you ain't used to a woman being gussied up, when she does go to the 9's, the difference is amazing.

Honestly,  a corset a'int much different than a woman squeezing into a pair of panty hose two sizes too small.

Growing up around mountain gals,

I vaguely recall you were originally from Chicago. How did I make that mistake, or did I?

Moved out here in fifth or sixth grade. My mamma is a Kansas farm gal, and the old man was Blue Collar and self employed, with enough sense to marry a farm gal.

Came out here early enough that not much of Chicago stuck to me... A bit handicapped to start with, but just in time, really. Of all the things I owe my old man,  the biggest one is having the sense to drag me out here and set me free.

Makeup clogs pores and causes wrinkles.

And women who have never shaved don't need to shave.

Especially true out in the Desert.  My wife feels it because everyday we step outside, it's over 100F now.  In a couple weeks I expect the 110 days to start up.  Make-up is rarely worn here in the summer months, she found that out 20 years ago when we met.

@roamer_1 is right.  Its nice on occasion.  But I don't wear any foundation.   Most days just mascara.  Especially in a hot climate you need to just hydrate the skin and protect from the sun.

Foundation is probably the worst thing that can be applied to skin.
