It was customary in my upbringing that all the women nap at 1:00 In the afternoon...In our underwear.
A real traditionalist, huh?

Yes kitch! I am so proud you realized that it is etiquette. Because the heat is so intense and women were thought to be so delicate, they were suppose to take naps in the afternoon. The custom pre dates the 1800's. Also, there are usually parties in the evenings to attend so you would not want to get sleepy. Much like spain, a lot of activites take place at night in the south because of the heat in the summer. My grandmother also gave me all her fans and I still have them. When I was a little girl she would teach me what the fan meant. Holding the fan in certain ways signaled your lover that you may be interested in certain activites that you could dare not say in public.

Lawdy! Miss Scarlett! I dunno nuttin bout birthin no babies!
And actually, yeah chickens WILL run (or bounce or boing) around after you've chopped thier heads off, but when out to butcher one for dinner, most people usually don't, they'll cut the head off, then immediatly put them in boiling water. I lived on a farm for 10 years, after I grew up, but did not grow up on one.

I laugh when I read that! Ha ha. Because I really am well endowed, under 40 and smart and extremely attractive. I still use my fans on certain occasions, such as the KA ball I went to in college.

NOT EVEN close to a plain ole regular D...but I used to really enjoy being a Southern belle.

Never did I want to be a cheerleader OR a prom queen. Truth be known...I was an outstanding yearbook editor. Boring? Maybe.

who cares what you old granny said? she probably didn't have anything to show anyway, thats why she hid behind that saying. I say if you've got it, flaunt it, make money off it. If your slip is showing? Who wears slips? I wish my great nameless love was here

YOU wear slips, you said so yourself. I can't stand continuity problems due to sheer self-indulgent sloppiness. That's below our high RT standards. You stand warned, doggy.
