Flashback Friday ~ Complete Humiliation circa 1975

When I read the prompt for this week there was only one thing that flashed in my mind.

The memory sent me scurrying for my old year books!

Gym Uniforms!

Surely there had to be some evidence of our forced group humiliation and sadly there was!

Thankfully I was not captured in this year book picture. However I remember these gym uniforms very well!

We had to endure these lovely fashion statements at one of the High Schools I attended. It was horrible, unattractive, hot and sweaty and to top it off it was a wonderfully flattering dirty gold-ish mustard color. It was a one piece jump suit that snapped at the shoulders made out of polyester and I HATED it!

soooo, being one of the other sufferers of those HORRIBLE striped polyester things, mine was hunter green with white stripes...at least it went with my hair, hahahah!
They wouldn't absorb sweat; but they surely absorbed the tinch that came with 9 weeks' worth of pe and sitting in your locker (some girls never took them home to wash on the weekends!)...ugh.
I used to actually take a shower before going back to class, more of a rinsing than a shower...i was soooooo glad when i got to throw it away! do you see P. Palmer peeking thru the back of that picture...oh, the things we didn't know then but found out later.

Not having been forced to wear such items in my own growing up years, whenever I find a short-jumpsuit at a used store I always try it on. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?), I never manage to fit. My torso is always too long, I have to try to compress my back to get the shoulders up over my own. I can't imagine if I had to put one of those on and then try to RUN in it.

Nothing an evening cocktail can't fix...

 I am trying to come up with a basic set of question to facilitate a daily post. So maybe the first question should be: 1. What was/is the highlight of your day or week? This week I went to a funeral of one of the saints of our church.  A sweet, sweet woman who was dearly love by so many. As I sat and listened to the testimony of the woman's life I felt truly blessed that I had the privilege of knowing her.  It was a blessing to know that she is no longer suffering. The next question should be; 2. What should I or could I have done differently today or this week? This falls under the category of a good thing and bad ting.  The new season of Lost in Space comes out this week. I LOVED that show when I was growing up!!! Sadly, I have totally forgot what happen last season so  am having to rewatch several of the previous episodes so I can catch up. This happens quite frequently.  Also, Diana Gabaldon has just published the next instalment to her Outlander series.  I have to (again) re-

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all!   Later that e
