You've totally hijacked your wife's thread!!

Every one I've seen is a standard sort of rappelling type harness with "holes" for each leg and attached at the crotch. Just to get into the thing a lady has to hike her skirt up over her waist. The whole thing will then parachute over your face - from the waist up, exposing whatever you were prudent to wear underneath.

Skirts on women are intended to keep them from participating in many activities and occupations. That's the reason women's apparel and men's apparel took such a divergence in form during the Middle Ages.

In the Victorian era it was demanded and considered a sign of "civilization" for the women to be chained by their skirts from participating in "manly" pursuits such as horseback racing and scaffold climbing. In antiquity, everyone was expected to labor together so the tunics and robes were a bit more similar for functional reasons.

Sorry... veering off topic... feeling kind of cranky today.

Nothing new about that. She will be talking about something and about half way through a sentence and it will remind me of something and I will interrupt her with, "Did you call the Hendrys about the Super Bowl party?" Then I will see the look on her face and I realize what I have done.

Well? Have the Hendrys been alerted about the Super Bowl party? They're coming right?

Yep, sounds like the ones I seen.

Sounds like there have been some "discussions" about this.

I wouldn't say I'm here for the football. Maybe the cheerleading, but not the football.

Actually, if AFF was a college, I'd probably be the woman who works in the cafeteria feeding all the starving kids and acting as their Mom-Away-From-Home.

Of course, I'd also want to sit in on all of the available Art classes. But I'd be skipping those heavy-hitting deep theological classes. I know what I believe. I don't feel the need to argue it with anyone else to try to convince them.

We haven't decided if they are coming here or we are going there due to the Robby's wheelchair-

LOL. But, I've hardly ever brought up the family ruckuses here. When I was (sort of) incognito as pelathais it was something that I avoided like the plague.

Any other couples "unequally yoked" out there? One spouse is a "standards nazi" and the other "dresses any way they want?"

I think we may be in NC this year I haven't checked the date yet. Perhaps you should enroll your wife in AFF university. Oh and she can pay the registrar (Baron) for the number of Credit hours she needs. We can indoctrinate...er...I mean educate her on true modesty.
