We were taking a class together two dozen years ago, and I'd never heard someone speak as brashly as she did in public [little did I know it got worse in private]. Over the course of several weeks I got to know her and we became good friends. She had thought I was prim and proper and was glad to learn she was wrong about me, too. After I read this post I called her again - we haven't seen each other for years and haven't talked for two and I haven't been able to reach her. We finally caught up this weekend - so good to hear her voice. We hope to get together soon and I will share your story.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448211798237937246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-69246243949753049232014-07-07T16:30:07.308-02:302014-07-07T16:30:07.308-02:30I don't know any women who are not overburdene...I don't know any women who are not overburdened from dealing with both inner and outer chaos.

My family where/are Eastern Oregon Redneck, I was the first one to go past undergrad university. Most of them worked in logging or the mills, and were rough-hewn to say the least.<br /><br />She graduated from National Cathedral Girls School in DC, and Vassar, one of the 'sister' schools. She spoke french and UK style english. <br /><br />At the first family reunion on my side she attended she looked at a map of Oregon on the wall and commented to my uncle that we had a county named Malheur, pronouncing it in the correct French fashion. He peered at her and said "It's Mal-hewer, darlin'.

I've been saying for three weeks that I need to vacuum (having trod grass clippings into the house after the final mow before winter really sets in), but it isn't killing us to have a messy carpet, so it sort of falls to the bottom of the to-do list, as degunking my brain from increasingly painful weeks at work becomes more important. Sadly, 'degunking' doesn't tend to have anything productive at the end of it!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965300148218903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-6451388887407640402014-07-04T19:39:17.177-02:302014-07-04T19:39:17.177-02:30You make me smile :)

We learned early that no misstep, intended or not, went unpunished. Being prim and proper and attempting to follow every stated and imagined rule is an (often doomed-to-failure) attempt to avoid the mythical hand that's going to descend out of the sky to slap us silly again. Rather than never, ever needing a Chaos Prevention List, the prim and propers you encountered may be scrambling every moment to fight any possible incursion of chaos that would bring them instant and stinging punishment. However, this prim and proper loves hanging around with socially conscious people who can say "shyte" or the equivalent when the occasion calls for such language. I find it quite liberating to use that language myself when yet another piece of legislation intended to control women is enacted here in the good old USA! You just have to find the right prim and propers to feel appreciated for who you are and what you contribute to any gathering or conversation!
