Hmpffffffff.
I wonder about that one…? My grandmother was an astronaut as were all the women of her day. Things began to go seriously wrong with women in the 60s and 70s. They got ever more rights and freedoms and liberties and they got ever more sillier and unhappier. Not all of ‘em… but at least a good half of them… Hell’s bells - 25% of North American women are on antidepressants nowadays. Today a good percentage of them are just spiteful mutants and non-stop rage heads. They spin their men up too.
Women just like these pulled the roof down on their men, their families and ultimately themselves. Compared to my grandmother… most of today’s aren’t fit to shine her shoes…
But whadda I know?
I'm convinced women are really only sane when they're either pregnant or nursing. Of course, then they've got the baby idiots, so there's that.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder previous generations never let women do anything important. They're either crazy or stupid/exhausted most of the time.
Why were old women considered wise? They're past menopause, and finally off the crazy/stupid cycle.
I’d agree Chuck but for the women at our church. There’s a few loons but the rest of them are rock solid and critical thinkers. I think the idiocy we are getting from them is an acquired phenomenon.
DeleteThis describes Migraine One (10/20/1949 - 5/31/2023 (73 years, 7 months, 11 days)) almost to a tee. Throw in neurotic behavior with psychotic episodes and a drinking problem, and you'll be closer to the mark. She moved out to Kalifornia, developed fibromyalgia and a diet of pain pills and wine. Her children, all raised by their father, severed ties with her. The oldest, a daughter, is crazier than she ever was - and that's saying something.
ReplyDeleteAbout half the women I've met in my life are batshit crazy. I mean really, really certifiable. Part of the problem is men refusing to be men. Take, for instance, a couple I knew from church. He owned his own company and brought home the bacon. Her domain was the house. All the children and grandchildren are well-adjusted, successful people. There's a reason for that.
Probably all true Jack. The women might be loons… but we let them do it.
DeleteI am no sage
ReplyDeleteI just remember, based on that photo,
how VERY YOUNG, INNOCENT, NAIVE, HOPEFUL, OPTIMISTIC
most if us were.
only to find “i never…” and killer E
representing “us”on the national political stage.
wait!
I/we never chose these carpetbaggers to represent us!
We were honedt. Noble. Genuine. Sincere.
I am Appalachian, not Canadian. Yet it seems to me-
we was ALL robbed.
G-d will judge all these that got us to 2025!

A lot of us were robbed, and some of us sold out for a bowl of pottage, as the old nickel goes…

ReplyDeleteJust remember that they had valium, afternoon vodka, voted liberal, supported ERA and NOW, danced to disco, and were every bit as mind-fucked as the current generation. Fortunately there was still some shame in society for the worst excesses. With luck, most of them ended up with men who'd control that shit to some degree. Control that we dare not attempt today. My grandmother went thru 5 or 6 husbands, some died, some simply saw the crazy and sacrificed half their life savings to get away. And she was the fun one.
ReplyDeleteYou take that same crazy, remove all shame, and ban men from occasionally slapping a little sense into them, and you get what we got now. Yeah, life wasn't fair to them back in the day, but life was definitely better for them all the same.
And they definitely looked much healthier.
Not sure where you found that pic, but left to right - three definitely look like they came from the same litter, the fourth (2nd from the right) is probably the runt of the litter, and the blonde one on the far right looks scanda-hoovian - maybe sired that time when Sven from Norway was at the swingers' party?
