And also said I'd hope to be lucky enough to marry a rich man for a reason - life sucked back then but if you had a rich hubby, you could bathe a little more often. LOL. Thanks for commenting.J. D.

One word -- hygiene.<br /><br />I watched "Gone with the Wind" last month and seeing all those men and women dressing in layers even though it had to be 100 in the shade. No deodorant. Pig lard masquerading as soap (if you could afford it). No mouth wash. No foot spray or powder.<br /><br />Yeah. Sounds like a perfect romantic date.<br /><br />Keep in mind, that it was way worse in Europe. Then again, you might find it comfortable, J.D. At least, you'd have a chamber pot to pee in.<br /><br />P.S.: Sorry, couldn't resist.Gregory Marshall Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046473659340557062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198581514056172349.post-38361521471814335962011-05-23T10:10:10.645-04:002011-05-23T10:10:10.645-04:00I completely concurr.

I have no wish to bathe less than every day, have leeches used as medical treatments or use a chamber pot. Not to mention that I always worry about the whole "burned at the stake" thing as well. (I'm pretty sure its that is the reason I'm terrified of fire).<br /><br />Great post!<br />StaceySpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761441168024967277noreply@blogger.com
