Older Gals Get Make-Overs

I wonder how many of us gals have pulled their skin back on their face to see what it would look like and lifted the jowls to see the difference. I think we would all like to look like we did in earlier days.....I would be too scared to go under the gas voluntarily.

I noticed that I look better with my hair wrapped tightly in a towel (turbin style??) :lofl:
 

Thanks for that, SB. How come it didn't occur to me to look it up? LOL

Meg, I haven't tried that, but can't imagine that it would make me look like anything more than I did when my mother braided my hair too tight!
 
rubbish sacks that fit like a glove!:thumbsup:

I can remember cutting up really pretty calico 50 lb. sacks, that flour came in, and the store owner collected. He would sell them for a nickel or dime. We made some pretty dresses out of those flour sacks. :wave:
 
Yes Denise There were many calico patterns, and some very vivid colors. My father's church was very frugal, and and the women cut and sewed most of our clothing, quilts, curtain, sheets and quilts. I still have a working quilting frame.
I have always enjoyed trying to live on as little money as possible.
In the early years of our marriage, we we're so poor that I started doing everything I could to save, and it became a game that I still enjoy, and drives my hubby bonkers.:sobad:
 
I learned to live on less, not to the extreme you did Ina, but I am much happier for it, and even grateful for the extent of poverty I've experienced. It's taught me so much, especially about all the things I don't need, and thank goodness, don't even "want" now;) I know people that shop all the time, they are buying things so often, that some are still in the boxes with the tags, or clothes with tags still on. Again, I'm glad that I have learned how little I need materially, and how much simpler life can be;)

Yes Denise, I find it simplifies life, and a life uncluttered by stuff allows a person to see many of the nonmaterial beauties that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. It has taught me to be happy with what I have, and I've never felt the need for more. I like the challenge of living within our means. :wave:
