Crikey Dilu, with a list like that, small wonder the officer's wives were constantly slooshed!!!  That's not the greater glory of womanhood ~  that's slavery and the glorification of male ego  thhhhhbbbppptttt!!!!

dilu sat the man down and said this wasn't a game she could play, and that he needed to consider this very very carefully.  He did and so did she.... i understand dilu is much happier than he is now!   Course some of us used the last 30 years to move forward....and some of us stayed a wee bit mad..... 

There is a moral, my little chicadees....our lives are ours to make or break and we've no one to blame but ourselves for our sucssess or our failures.

The 70's were a great time to really grow up!

What's arnica cream Deb?

DebbieD Aug 20, 2006

Its an external rub (or cream) containing arnica montana.  I smeared it all over my pinkie, ring finger and front and back of my hand ....basically anywhere I thought would bruise.  I got it ages ago from a health food store, I think its simply called The Rub.  I can't seem to find it just now.

I also made sure to take arnica montana homeopathic tablets several times as well.  The stuff's amazing

Dilu, I guess the The Officer's Wife's Guide was written exactly about me     :crackup: ...specially I like the part with not axing him questions he cannot answer ROFL...

Have a good one!

In this particular case it would probably have meant any questions at all....poor guy....I have ultimate respect for the Guys and Gals serving in our military, and the work that they do....having seen so much of it first and half hand.  But that officers wives stuff? 

That is simply utterly ridiculous!

did you know we were supposed to have cards to leave when we went calling?!?!?!  Who had time for going and visiting women who were so full of themselves because of their hubbys that they didn't have the ability to develop their own personalities.

Ahh the 70's.

One old gal told me it was much worse in the 50's and 60's.  Made me laugh!
