In my grandmother’s lifetime, the cart was replaced with the car.  The coal-driven locomotive, was outmoded by airline transport and the television made the radio passé.  I think I’m starting to understand how she felt.

The skills of my first career became obsolete with the advent of the “personal computer” which was never very personal because it was driven by user-hostile batch files.

When I was growing up, music came on LPs, instead of CD’s.  Movies came from theaters and and if we were watching movies at home, they were probably home-movies.

The rotary-dial phone of my childhood has been replaced by the cell phone I toss in my handbag.  The room-sized mainframe computers are outperformed by the netbook, which also fits in my purse, and of course, the newest phones do everything but windows–those square glass things in the house, not the operating system.

I’ve adjusted to and enjoyed the changes, but the latest are starting to make me wonder if this is how Grammy felt.

Apparently, I am now in just like the mothers who still wore stretch pants when everyone else started wearing jeans. The latest trends have people wearing clothes so tight they alleviate any mystery.  Despite this, I’m still wearing clothes which outline more than define, my panties still cover my cheeky parts, and [gasp]  I still wear hosiery.

Women hate hose, men love skin, these two factors have caused pantyhose to become all but obsolete.  I say all but obsolete, because every single drugstore and department store still sells them.  Apparently, only I and the more well-turned out members of the AARP are still buying them.  I’ve perfected the art of being fashionably late, but on this it seems I’m just FASHION-LATE.

Back  in the day, “panty” hose eliminated the panty line and also eliminated the garter belt.  The “panty-line” is another thing that has mostly become obsolete, and though the garter belt is enduringly sexy, wearing one is an enduring nuisance–just ask a drag queen. Having worn hose with garters, long before I wore panty hose, the elimination of gartered hose–is enough to make me loyal to pantyhose, but there is also the cosmetic advantage.

I had a great childhood and my legs bear testimony to climbing trees, riding bikes and learning how to roller skate.  I like a little bit of very sheer mesh smoothing out the scars left by those fond memories, and though I am a huge devotee of full-footal nudity–hose make high heels feel better. .

So a recent cute-dress-impulse-buy, had me trying to decide whether or not I’d continue to be a grandma, or get with the times.   Decided I was stepping out with the skin in all it’s glory–shaved my legs extra carefully, and slathered on some lotion. The dress is hot, the heels are hot, and I am ready to do this, when the man in my life, enters the room and says, “Aren’t you going to wear hose?”  Apparently, he is as old school as I am.  I admit, I was relieved.

That evening, I spent a good amount of time scrutinizing the bare legs on display.  The most polished women are still wearing hose–most of them corporate-types or professionals like lawyers or doctors.  However, there are many women with very imperfect legs displaying them as proudly as beauty queens.  If they can do it, I can.  Maybe next time.

The one who disdains tattoos, joined the inked set last week.
I got my first tattoos–four of them, but in my mind these don’t count.

I have asked myself for a very long time if there was a tattoo attractive enough and timeless enough to keep me from regretting it later.  So far, I haven’t come up with anything, but I recently decided to get the same tattoos my mother had, and the same tattoos some of the girlfriends have–the cult markings of the perpetually vain–permanent make-up, not everything, just a little bit of eyeliner.

I was weary of trying to get my eyeliner just right, only to have it smudge or smear.  Cleanly tattooed eyeliner seemed to be the solution to an oft-recurring problem.  After a bit of research, I chose a local salon.  Ana, the owner has been tattooing lips, eyes, & brows for 30 years and quickly won my confidence.

First was the consult.  I tend not to wear much make-up, so I chose a less is more style.  I had the choice of soft- or hard-edged lines and a palette of colors from which to choose.  After I’d selected a color, came a patch test–done inconspicuously on the head to make sure the pigments in the ink won’t cause an allergic reaction.

Two days later, patch-test successful, it was time to do it.  I was trying hard not to talk myself out of it.  When I arrived, Ana quickly reassured me, insisting I’d be glad I had this done.

My eyelids were prepared with an numbing cream.  Ana & I revisited what was decided during the consult.  She was very conscientious in trying to assure she understood what I wanted.  Ana takes great pride in her cleanliness, so as she set up her materials, she showed me that every single thing was being removed from one-time use sterile packaging.  Additionally, every surface was covered in one-time use plastic.

The tool she uses looks like a combination of an Exacto knife, and click eraser–but I wasn’t intimidated.
The first puncture startled me.  The second startled me.  Each subsequent puncture was more unnerving.  Having seen the tool, I was surprised it felt like having one’s eyelids snipped with scissors.   Mimi, my bikini waxer, has taught me it’s best to avoid caffeine before painful procedures.  Laying on the table, I’m wishing I’d skipped the latte this morning.   I’m taking deep breaths, mentally wanting to MapQuest my happy place.  Having my eyelids  intentionally injured has turned me into a wuss.  I sit up abruptly and ask for ibuprofen.  (Another thing I’ve learned–a couple of ibuprofen before a painful procedure can take the edge off.)  She says yes, and disappears.  A few minutes later, she returns with a couple of tablets and a bottle of water.  I gulp the water, swallow the pills and take more deep breaths.

She reminds me that she has a sharp object near my eyes and admonishes me to avoid sudden movements.  As she finishes the first line, she hands me a mirror.  So far so good.  After each new line, she again hands me the mirror.  There is some excess ink on the eyes, so it’s hard to know the true result.  She assures me the color will lighten in a few days.

At the end of the procedure, she removes the excess ink and lets me inspect.  After she flushes my eyes with eye wash drops, I drove home with eyes that feel the way they would if I hadn’t slept in 36 hours–a combination of heaviness and sandpaper.

The following morning, I woke up with eyelids that were slightly swollen and a little bit red.  It is too early to know if I’ve made a mistake, but what I see in the mirror is scary.  Though the top appears to be perfectly natural, the lowers are a bit Alice Cooper.  Missing the natural look, I am wondering what insanity made me do this.  The eyelids aren’t healed enough for make-up yet, so the dark line without any mascara is glaringly harsh.

Knowing this, as soon as the inflammation subsides, I carefully wash my eyelids and put on a little bit of mascara. It’s a little better, but I’m still wondering if this will be something to regret for years.  There is a big party on Thursday night.  I am hoping that by Thursday, I’ll be able to work with whatever it is I’ve got.

Thursday morning comes.  They eyes are fully recovered and feeling quite normal, so I clean them well.  To my surprise, the harsh pigment on them is washing off.  It seems much of the dark line was only superficial.  The newly washed eyelids don’t appear to have had anything done.  There is a dark thin line at the bases of the eyelashes, but nothing scary.  The color is softer than what I’d imagined.  The mistake I thought I had made, seems to have corrected itself.

Unfortunately, because it is so subtle, I find myself applying eyeliner in the same way I always have.  I am thinking the money spent may have been a waste, but I am very relieved to realize at least I’m not doomed to wake up looking like a goddess of goth.

In two weeks, I’m scheduled to go for a touch-up.  Haven‘t decided whether I‘ll go back.  It didn’t turn out the way I’d wished, but maybe I’m glad.  Putting on eyeliner is bothersome, but at least when I get it wrong, I can start over.

I’m always astounded when my very eligible single friends flounder about trying to meet people to date.  Though I lead a very ordinary life, I meet eligible and interesting people almost everyday, proving the pond is full of good fish. However, some not only can’t find the fish, they can’t even find the water.  Eventually, they turn to fish-finders, aka, dating services.

There simply isn’t time for me to list all the reasons, I think this about as hopeless as dangling a hook in a bathtub.  Despite ads, trumpeting how many people have married as a result of these services, it seems an implausible way to find love.

The process begins with the pictures, picture that will tell you nothing.  Like me, you probably have dozens of pictures of yourself.  Most likely some are unrealistically flattering, some quite the opposite.  Pictures won’t tell you what you need to know.  Dating services don’t use pictures that give you an idea what the person looks like first thing in the morning.  The person who talks too much will likely have a picture with their mouth shut.  The people who smell bad won’t have have a picture with a scratch-and-sniff.

Then there are the descriptions, lists of carefully selected phrases intended to attract.  Omitted from the list are descriptors like highly-neurotic, extremely needy, very controlling, or unnaturally attached to numerous cats.

People list information, their likes, what their looking for and why you should choose them, but they don’t provide an accurate picture either.   You won’t see the stuff they’d rather you not know.

Nobody says “Slovenly male prefers snoozing on the couch to walking on the beach.”

Not gonna read,  “Single man with good job.  Financially irresponsible, but still has wheels.”

Never gonna see, “Super great guy, supporting ex-wife and kids who will make you sorry we met.” or “Seeking a super hot young gal with low expectations who will enjoy a jerk less romantic than a Steven Seagal film.”

To get a really accurate description, it would have to be written by someone more objective–like say their ex- (preferably after they’re back on speaking terms.)

If I ran a dating service, I’d give it a name that would give people an idea what to expect.  I tossed around some ideas for names and slogans.

FOREVER YOURS–The service that takes YOUR money and lets you take YOUR chances.

GRAB BAG –Commonality is the key, that’s why we link you with people just like you–lonely, desperate people.  Guaranteeing that every single person here is single–just like you!

EYES WIDE OPEN–Blind dates for those who can’t see the obvious.

To me, dating services offer nothing more than badly orchestrated blind dates. Everybody hates blind dates–I can’t imagine why people would pay for them. I’m a bit cynical, but even with accurate pictures and descriptions, you won’t know what you’re getting.  Because people aren’t just two-dimensional, it‘s unreasonable to shop for them the same way we do stuff on eBay.  No amount of reading descriptions will determine whether or not your selectee is good company for more than two hours.  Want to know what they’re really like?  Take a road trip with them, after several hours  being confined in a small space with them, you‘ll know whether or not you wish to go further.

So, as if the dating service thing weren’t bad enough, I’ve recently learned of people who advertise on sites like Craigslist.  I had heard of this, but had never checked it out. Perusing a section of Craigslist devoted to those who are NOT looking for a relationship, I was appalled to see people advertising themselves like stuff from lesser pawnshops. I’d go to Craigslist for a lamp, but seriously–a close encounter from the same place where people sell used carpet?  Like used carpet, if you knew where it’d been, you probably wouldn’t touch it.

One would have as great a chance finding love, using the money spent on dating services, to take someone just-met at a bus station out for dinner and a movie.

The kids started it.
There was a piercing, followed by another piercing.  The second piercing was followed by a discreet tattoo.  There was a more daring piercing, then a less discreet tattoo.  Soon, the piercings were more numerous and the tattoos no longer hidden.  Eventually, it wasn’t just the kids, but also the mothers and fathers eager to show off their latest ink.

Still conservative enough to feel saddened by young girls who had opted to let their bodies become a canvas for graphic designs, I realized visible body alterations were only the tip of the iceberg.  The trend of body modifications was becoming more the norm, than the exception; but while the 20-somethings were embracing glass gauged ears, and tongue barbells, their mothers (and sometimes fathers) were choosing everything from Botox and lipo-sculpting  to silicone add-on parts.

Hold on!  Back up the car!  Did you see that?
It wasn’t the kids who started it.  Rewind that tape.

Nope.

Not the kids–Mom started it–the same mother who told her children they were perfect, special, unique-one-of-a-kind,  & limited edition.

—————————————-

Mom did her best to convince the kids they were already uniquely perfect, but it was a “do as I say, not as I do” thing, leaving many feeling the need to do things to make themselves stand out.  It would seem that outrageous bod-mods would be a  completely unnecessary expression of individuality, unless those who do them aren’t all that unique. In the same spirit as the t-shirt that says, “I’m unique, just like everybody else”, staunch individuals started doing the same thing everyone else was doing.

A recent  internet foray caused me to be distracted by a photo gallery of celebrity tattoos.  Though I have very little interest in the lives of celebrities, I was fascinated to see that everyone from Miley Cyrus to Helen Mirren were getting inked.  I wasted too much time gawking and scratching my head, before being drawn into a second gallery of celebrity plastic surgeries.  I couldn’t look away, and was soon after browsing a third gallery of disastic-plastic surgeries.

It seams that even non-celebs can gain celebrity exposure by having excessive “procedures”, like  Cindy Jackson, the woman who spent countless thousands to look like Barbie or the freakish socialite turned crazy-cat, Jocelyn Wildenstein.

We’ve come along way from the age when plastic surgeons specialized in reconstructive surgeries like fixing bad noses or large ears.  The surgeries were becoming more cosmetic, as younger and more attractive individuals began opting for procedures intended to eliminate minor flaws or make them look like someone else.

I can understand and embrace the reasons women seek cosmetic procedures–but I wonder why we,  as a culture, are so dissatisfied with what we see in the mirror.  A little this (nip) or that (tuck) to reconcile what’s in the mirror–I’m down with that, but it’s like having a room that seems okay–except for the worn carpet.  Replace the carpet, and suddenly, the drapes seem dowdy and the coffee table looks dated.

One day you’re a normal person, fixing a legitimate flaw, but if that turns out not to be enough, it’s only a matter of time before you’re riding the rapids down the Joan Rivers or crossing into the  The Tropic of Michael Jackson–headed toward Neverland.

The problem is each little procedure brings us closer, but NEVER close enough to the thing we can NEVER achieve–perfection.  The things we do to become more beautiful, make us less unique.  The things we do to make ourselves more unique, can make us less beautiful.

In a perfect world, we’d all look into the eyes in the mirror and see our own unique unspoiled beauty, but this is not a perfect world and the mirror is a fickle friend.  Some days it blows you a kiss and tells you you’re stunning.  Other days, it winces as your eyes meet.  Even if you could achieve perfection, it wouldn’t make you happy.  You’d no longer fit in with the rest of us.

No words needed.  The list of fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, daughters and sons is enough.

Near my desk is a sign which says, “Boredom is a matter of choice, not circumstance.”

This is true only about 99.5 % of the time.

According to one online dictionary, boredom is the emotional state experienced during  periods lacking activity or when individuals are uninterested in their surroundings.

Many believe activity is the secret to accomplishment, but I would argue the contrary.  I am convinced there are times when a lack of activity breeds greatness.  In fact, I believe boredom is the performance drug of geniuses.

Our modern-day world is full of stimuli.  There are more sights and sounds around us than at any time before.  With the exception of those who have experimented with psychedelic drugs, there has never been a time when our minds were bombarded with more.  Watch a favorite old movie and you will quickly be reminded of how fast-paced entertainment has become.  People now have more entertainment on their iPods than would have been available in a month of TV or radio.  We can carry in our pockets what used to be a wall of vinyl LPs.  With video games that simulate everything from sports to killing, there is simply no reason for us to experience boredom.

That’s a damn shame.

Preschool teachers know our brains are fed by what they are exposed to, which is why a story, shared by one, struck me.    She told me each year, they would introduce construction toys–like Legos or Tinker Toys.  There was a time when these toys needed no explanation.  Naturally curious, kids would begin handling them and quickly figure out how they could put pieces together.  However in recent years, she explained it took kids longer and longer to even figure out what to do with such toys.

Most kids play with Legos or something.  Some kids build their kits and place them on shelves, but others become bored, and begin exploring other possibilities.  This is boredom at it’s best.

Some of the best and brightest thinkers in the world are who they are because of boredom.  I am convinced there would be no be-bop, jazz, blues, hip-hop or rap, if not for those who had too much time on their hands–in other words, the kind of boredom that causes experimentation.  This is the only explanation for how those who are not classically trained become visionaries, innovators, or masters.

It takes time to become great.  When all of our unspent moments are occupied, we may miss what we might have been.  In a world that provides endless opportunities for filling our moments and our minds, there is less time for finding the greatness in our own heads.

Boredom gives us time to think, forces our heads to find new ways to pass time and shows possibilities we’d never explore if we only allow our heads to be filled with the ideas of others.  Properly cultivated, boredom can quickly become interesting.

As holidays go, Labor Day isn’t one of my favorites.  It makes me melancholy.  Whereas Memorial Day is summer’s coming out party, Labor Day is its retirement.  I don’t even like the name.  Labor Day sounds like something for Marxist comrades or customer appreciation day in a maternity ward.

It needs a better spin.  There are so many do-gooders out there, always renaming stuff, why haven’t they tackled this yet?  How about something like No Deadlines Day, Play Hooky Day, or Sleep as Long as you’d like Day?  A better name would help us all get into the proper mindset and really enjoy the day on which to indulge our slacker tendencies.  It should have a name like Holiday for Those who Bust their Butts to sit on Theirs, or If I ever won the Lottery Day.

Labor Day confuses me.   I’ve noticed that those who work the hardest, look forward to Labor Day weekend so they can go home and do other work–stuff like brake jobs or cleaning gutters.   Since I don’t have a “real” job, I’m not even sure I am entitled to celebrate with those who do.  I should probably opt out of Labor Day, to go fill-in for someone who is out water-skiing.

Every household has some kind of division of labor, but being the “unemployed” person in a marriage, is a peculiar position.  It’s sort of hard to describe what I’m responsible for, but it’s sort of like being a Mafia “fixer”.  I facilitate stuff that makes Beloved Soul Mate able to concentrate on what he does.

When we married, we made a pact. I’d do the girl stuff, he’d manage the guy stuff–a good old-fashioned sexist arrangement.  Beloved Soul-Mate doesn’t wash dishes or sweep floors.  I don’t change oil or repair things.   (There are some exceptions, but you get the idea.)

Guy stuff includes everything automotive, anything involving power tools, moving heavy things, and dealing with disgusting things, as needed.  Plunging toilets is SO not a girl thing!  Additionally, he is responsible for insuring that checks written for necessary things like groceries and utilities, are always covered.

Girl stuff includes, writing checks for stuff like groceries, turning groceries into meals, bearing offspring and then doing one’s best to insure the offspring turn-out productive and likeable.  There are other responsibilities like dishes and  laundry, but the most important–but intangible thing–is finding stuff.  It may not sound like much, but in a house with three males, there is always something misplaced.  I am the person expected to know what happened to the cell phone, glasses, receipt, insurance policy, homework, permission slip, library book, clean socks, ketchup, the other kind of mustard, the preferred brand of deodorant, antiseptics,  Ace bandages, jock straps and favorite t-shirts.  On any given day, the ability to locate such things, is necessary to keep the earth from wobbling off its axis.

When I think about returning to the work force, I’m wondering if it’s too late to renegotiate our original labor agreement.  If, against all odds, I were to return to work,  theoretically, we would both be out of the house most of each week.  I say theoretically, because my 40-hour week would be much shorter than his.   Math whiz that he is, he has the ability to turn 40 hours into 60.

A full-time job would raise all kinds of questions.  If I were to take a day job, all things having to do with school & kids would need to be divided.  Who would then be in charge of rescuing the kid who forgot his permission slip or the one who ends up in the nurse’s office?   Who makes  breakfast?  Who packs lunches?  Who takes off work to take  kids to the orthodontist appointments?   Who is responsible for getting them to the myriad of after-school activities and sports practices?

There are enough parents out there juggling these things, I’m sure they could help me figure it out, but other questions remain.  Who gets to  shower first?  I can roll out of bed and be out of the house in 25 minutes, so therefore I should go first, but since he’s less efficient, maybe he could wake up earlier and I could sleep for another 45 minutes while he was grooming.  Who makes the bed?  Last one out?  Would he pack me a sandwich and a thermos of coffee each morning?  If I’m as tired after work as he is, would anyone ever clean the shower?

Of course, the biggest question of all would be . . . when three day-weekends like Labor Day came around would we take the much-needed break or tackle the household jobs we never had time for???

There are bigger cars and better cars.  There are certainly more expensive cars–especially those with aftermarket enhancements, but I like my own best.

I am truly fond of the older vehicle I drive!  People might wonder why I like my ride better than anyone else’s.  I can’t explain it–the old gal fits me, we go together.

I feel exactly the same about my gals–the ones  on my chest.  I’ve seen bigger, better  and more expensive, but I like these.  They fit me, we go together.

When I was younger I didn’t think beyond size and shape.  It was all about appearance.   Back then, I didn’t realize they would come to be a reminder of the wonder of motherhood or the vulnerability of womanhood.

I love mine.  They are so much better than a hanger for showing off sweaters.  I’m still amazed that they nourished the newborns.  I love that they’ve often often provided a wonderfully soft place for a kid who needed comfort to rest a sad head.   Unfortunately, just as with old cars, sometimes they go bad.  Inherent with  having breasts is a threat of breast cancer.

Having spent the first third of my life without breasts, it’s not like I couldn’t live without them.  Sure, I’d miss them, but I’d be okay.  Given a choice, I’d rather not have to say goodbye to mine.  I spent more  than the first half of my life without children, but unlike the breasts, I couldn’t bear saying goodbye to them—which is why I never skip the mammogram.

There are always questions about the worth of routine screening tests like mammograms, but they can and do save lives by diagnosing cancer in its earliest stages.  Not a sure thing, but a good bet.  I’ve won poker with a lesser hand–which in this case is nothing more than holding two of a kind.

The calendar having reminded me, it was time for my annual photo-shoot again, I had mine yesterday.  It took less than an hour of my life–20 minutes of which was spent browsing a copy of  ESPN’s NFL Preview. Except for the  marginal magazine selection, I can’t understand why women avoid mammograms.

Had to take of my shirt.  I’ve done that before.
Had my breasts handled and squeezed.  Not the first time for that either.
What’s the big deal?  Granted, I would have preferred a gentle fondle, but the big squeeze was over quickly, and still preferable to a prostate exam.
As the technician reviewed my latest series of B/W glossies,  I was thinking about the reasons some of my girlfriends give for avoiding the procedure.

It’s unpleasant. Valid argument, but life is filled with little unpleasantries.  Chemotherapy and radiation are more unpleasant.

If I have cancer, I don’t want to know.
Sorry, but if you have cancer at some point, you will not have the luxury of not-knowing.  If the prospect of having cancer frightens you, it makes no sense to avoid something that might afford you the chance to eliminate cancer before it eliminates you.

It’s a personal choice.
Yes–dumb choice, but okay.  If you’re a fan of making your own choices, consider how a terminal illness would limit yours.  Are you the only one who gets a choice?  Run this one by your kids:   “Given the choice would you rather have Mom around  or watch her die a painful death?”  I’m guessing the kids won’t have any trouble making a wiser choice than you.

I’m going to die anyway.
No arguing that one, you have nothing to lose.
Maybe you won’t lose your breasts, maybe you won’t lose your hair, maybe you won’t lose your sense of well-being or your future, but the people around you will lose sleep over losing a person who plays an important part in their lives.

It’s my life.
Yeah, about that.  Your life overlaps with those around you.  Nobody wants to see you sick.  Nobody wants to see you suffer.    You may never be diagnosed with breast cancer, but refusing to have a mammogram shows a selfish disregard for those whose lives overlap with your own.

It’s your choice.  It’s your life.  You’re gonna die anyway.
