1950s Housewife
Things are Very different form how there were in the 1950s. But we can all learn a little for reading about being a Good Housewife in the 1950s. what was a good housewife in the 1950s?
"The Basics" The following is excerpted from an actual 1950's high school Home Economics textbook: "ADVANCE: How to be a Good Wife
HAVE DINNER READY: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal--on time. This is a way to let him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned with his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home, and having a good meal ready is part of the warm welcome that is needed.
PREPARE YOURSELF: Take fifteen minutes to rest so that you will be refreshed when he arrives. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift. Greet him with a smile.
CLEAR AWAY THE CLUTTER: Make one last trip though the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up children's books and toys, papers, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you lift too.
PREPARE THE CHILDREN: If they are small, wash their hands and faces and comb their hair. They are his little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.
MINIMIZE ALL NOISE: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise from the washer, dryer, or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.
SOME "DO NOT'S": Don't greet him with problems and complaints. Don't complain if he is late for dinner. Count this as a minor problem compared to what he might have gone through that day.
MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE: Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest that he lie down in the bedroom. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.
LISTEN TO HIM: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.
MAKE THE EVENING HIS: Never complain if he doesn't take you to dinner or to other entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to unwind and relax.
THE GOAL: TO MAKE YOUR HOME A PLACE OF PEACE AND ORDER WHERE YOUR HUSBAND CAN RELAX IN BODY AND SPIRIT." Most wives in the 1950's had one job: to be a homemaker. This meant wives must not only clean the house but also truly make a home. Being a homemaker in the 1950's meant caring for both your family and your house, as well as presenting yourself as picture-perfect throughout the day. Not only that, you had to make it seem effortless.
Fixed it for you I think this might be what you are looking for....
Is it ok if I vote now?

I disagree with that too. It just seems to me if someone were out to do that, he'd have enough knowledge to do it effectively. This just wasn't effective.
No one got inflamed nor disturbed. It didn't disrupt anything, and we're kind of having fun at this, so contention flew out the door even before it arrived. (And that's what I get for trying to force a metaphor. How can something go out, if it didn't come in? lol)
I agree, Samuel, you should ask yourself that question: why can you not be honest and admit the fact that Paul acknowledged a woman, Phoebe, as a deacon? Commended her, even

Meh. Still thinking if he finds out we don't bite, he might reveal himself, (or herself), and we gain a friend.
Something about his sense of humor. I can't help it. I like hyperbole.

Not what I believe, but every time you repeat the wind line, this song comes to my mind:

Thank you! Funny how certain words just remind me of people and give a strange concept of comfort. you just did that for me. "Crapper." One of my Dad's words that I haven't heard him use in years. Of all words to give me comfort, that's one of them.
Miri said another one earlier. One of the words my grandparents and their siblings used. A word Mom used to use when we were little. "Trousers."
Of course Paul called Phoebe a servant of the church, however in the context of Paul's statement that the position of servant in the church had to be the husband of one wife proves that he meant that Phoebe was someone who served, not in a position of authority over men.

YES! I am woman! I like that. (Granted, postmenopausal now, so that helps.) And hubby would have never married me if I weren't.

I like that avatar. It can be taken two ways:
1. With the big smile but the scary makeup says, "I'm a really nice person, unless you tick me off."
2. You have a sense of humor.
