This photo really takes you back to the 60s

Not everyone wore mini-skirts. My parents didn't allow us to wear them or wear shorts (except mid thigh and if we were going to a park). I remember kids making fun of me in school because my skirts were knee-high. It's not that I didn't have shapely legs (was a runner). It was a cultural thing. Talking about feeling shamed. Kids could be cruel.

I was working to put my former DH through college and we could barely afford to eat. It was sad the remarks I had at work about my clothes when that about the last thing I needed.

Maybe some of those posting cruel remarks should post selfies instead.

If I had one, I'd be happy to. No cellphone. I left HS at 98 pounds and weighed in at 124 this morning. Fair for 75. I have always been active and a healthy eater. Gluttony has never been one of my bad habits.

Not everyone is blessed with your marvellous metabolism. My mother, who lived to be almost 95, could eat anything she wished. I, however, cannot. I have always maintained an

active lifestyle, incorporating T’ai Chi and dancing into my regular exercise regimen. Yet, if I wish to remain slender, I can only eat 1 1/2 meals per day.

Never could understand how dressing in shorts like these was the "fashion" so therefore acceptable, but if she put on a short skirt and posed similarly, but the wind had blown the skirt hem up to reveal what we see at present, that's vulgar! Figure that one out.

What a difference from twenty years previously.

Sorry but I'll take the mini skirts of the 60s over the clown suits of the 40s any day.

YMMV

Not at all. My comment was in response to a suggestion from a poster regarding the option of lying. I merely provided another option. Of course, it is for him to decide which course of action he chooses to take.

It's hard for me to imagine that you fostered the idea that I had never considered remaining silent, and so you were helping me out.

Has less to do with metabolism than keeping up with multiple numbers of livestock and horses and eating home grown veggies and meat instead of processed food. And those sodas will killya.
