Oh, Andrea, I can't tell you how happy it makes my heart that you left this comment. Thank you so much for sharing. And what you said about society...Interesting. I'm addressing that in a follow-up article I'll publish next week. Nice to meet someone else who gets that pressure too!

That's the truth, Ruth. You DON'T ever know what might happen. I sure never expected to live in FL, then TN, or be going on an Alaskan cruise, but...life can be funny that way. Full of surprises!

So you just keep my offer tucked away in your pocket in case you ever do find yourself in these parts. ;)

"No Pooing" Method

This whole discussion reminds me of a fabulous book I read called Mutant Message Down Under. This Westernized lady (I forget if she was American or English) who was used to bathing regularly went on a walk about with Aborigines who have different ideas on hygiene. I've never forgotten how, because she was used to bathing her skin smelled even worse and attracted animals (ones who were curious about the odor she was emitting), than her Aborigine companions. I'm not saying it exactly right. You have to read the book to truly understand, but that part of the book was her epiphany about how maybe our society washes too much.

I've always hated washing my hair because I'm lazy. When I was little (like 7-9) I didn't even brush my hair much less wash it more than once a week. (I was somewhat of a wild nature child and looked the part!) Ah...how I miss those days.

Alas, these days I wash every other day. And, oddly, I still think about that book because it's why I don't wash more.

What a fun discussion! Great article, Mary Ann! (not to mention hysterical title)

Haven't you heard that old adage: Beware the killer weiner dog? LOL! What a funny story Aimee. Thank heavens the only thing harmed in this adventure was the poor screen door!

An Olympian Loses Her Wedding Ring During Competition

She's my hero anyway, but then to hear she lost her ring during a match, yet still went on to win? WOW! And I thought I'd be the only one interested in this. I'm glad to know my musings actually proved useful to someone else. COOL! Thank YOU for letting me know that!!

Welcome aboard, Dale! It's so nice to have you here. I've followed many of your posts in Christian about marriage-related topics. All wondeful. I think the readers will get a kick out of you and your writing, and I think we're all going to learn a thing or two. (And I'm glad we get the chance to be partners in crime. ;)
