Never could understand what the big deal was about guys washing the dishes. My Lady and I have done tag team dishwashing for decades.
Not with aprons, and I never wear ties.

I want to hear more about this "My Lady and I have done tag team dishwashing." Do you use belts to tag?Never could understand what the big deal was about guys washing the dishes. My Lady and I have done tag team dishwashing for decades.

Ah, no. Nor, alas, is "tag team" any kind of double entendre. Basically I do plates, drinking gasses and cutlery, she does the pots and pans. We have a similar arrangement for cooking. Sorry, none of this is done in the nude.

For ladies of a certain disposition as well!
The grass is always greener. Women haven't resolved this balancing act even 60 years later. What is this amazing attraction of working in an office and being away from your family, anyway? I heard some colleagues talking about this recently, how much money they spend on childcare, how long they spend away from their children, and yet some people believe that this is something that women a) want with all their hearts and b) must have at all costs.
Most people don't really have careers, they have jobs. It's all about the money, working to live not living to work.

Whether you are working in an office or being with your family at home, you need an exact girdle fit:
Growing up in that period I saw those ads all over the place. It’s only in hindsight that I realize that the women who modeled girdles didn’t need girdles.

That model had a 38-inch waist before she put the girdle on!

Neither do I, but I did cook an "English" breakfast for myself and my GF (at her house) this morning. (BTW she washed up and I dried.)Never could understand what the big deal was about guys washing the dishes. My Lady and I have done tag team dishwashing for decades.

A sensible division of labor.

I couldn´t resist and had to google the company. They don´t have any more heads. Too bad...
What Ever Happened to Honor House?
November 20, 2010 18 Comments
If you look into the windows of the internet, you will start to read questions about a place called Honor House. What is Honor House? You might ask? Well, if you were a kid in the 60’s and 70’s and read comic books, you will know what I am talking about. It was a place to order comic book novelties that got a kids head racing and heart pumping. So what happened to those companies that got kids all excited about paper toys, posters and gag gifts? Well, one grown up kid found out.
Now in the words of Mr. Castle
“I just called ADVANCE BIOFACTURES CORPORATION. aka HONOR HOUSE!!! It still is the same ol’ building on 35 Wilbur St. in Lynbrook, NY. Here is my conversation with the employee on the phone.
MC: Hello, I am looking for Honor House? Are they still around?
ABC: Honor House?? We haven’t been called that in over 20 years!
We both laughed.
ABC: Ed (Edwin Wegman) started up Honor House in the 50’s or 60’s. And used to sell novelty items. He then turned it into BIOSPECIFICS TECHNOLOGIES CORP. And by the way, we don’t have any Polaris Nuclear Sub’s hidden in old boxes put away, way, way in the back!!!
We laughed.
MC: I had in mind a 7 foot Monster or Frankenstein mask!
ABC: Sorry!
MC: Do you realize how much all those treasures from Honor House are sought after? Some go for thousands of dollars.
ABC: DAMN! Well we have searched the whole entire warehouse and we found nothing left from the old Honor House stock of novelties. You know at least 3-5 people call every 3-4 months or looking for this stuff.
MC: Wow, I thought I was the only one!”
ABC: Nope, but Ed would have been so happy to know his novelties are worth top dollar and that so many collectors are trying to obtain them still after all these years!! Sad to say, Ed passed in 2005.
MC: That is too bad. Thank you for talking to me and sharing your stories about Honor House.
ABC: Your welcome. Bye
MC: Bye.
And that is the story of what happened to Honor House, one of the many novelty companies that sold its wares in the pages of comics, horror comics and famous monsters of filmland magazines.

If you come right down to it, aren't Spanx just the latest version of a girdle? And weren't girdles just a new version of a corset?

"Fashion has contrived to make you a very nice person to know" Words fail me to comment on that assertion by a foundation maker!
