      It’s nice to see her be so matter of fact about it, there are very few historical records that relate to how women managed feminine hygiene, so it’s nice to see it addressed here.

    It's amazing to see craftsman - artists that carry on this tradition. This beauty. Art like this is nearly going extinct. Hopefully, more and more people will carry on these traditions, like the basket maker and all the artists in this series. There's something so astounding and sincere about it. Things like this rarely exist nowadays.
    Edit: oh, and the "Victorian" baths, remind me of when I was little and something went wrong with the pipes in our house and running water to the bath in our families house was impossible. My mom would heat up water on the stove and we used to bathe exactly the same way. Except my mom called them "oakie" baths 😂

      There is one fisherman who is living off his craft (mostly by selling it directly to local customers) here in my city of 3,5 million ... and the point is that "the craft" might be learnable from books, but the local "tips and tricks" (i.e. where to find the most fish) need to be passed down or "rediscovered" after they have been forgotten.

      Craftsmen are also very important, because they are the ones who CREATE HEIRLOOMS to hand down to the next generation, but todays "throw away equipment" gives nothing to pass on. Thus the disappearance of craftsmen is also a part of the DESTRUCTION OF THE FAMILY!

      One thing I keep on mentioning A LOT is the BENEFITS OF CORSETS, because nowadays MANY WOMEN COMPLAIN ABOUT BACK ACHES ... which are a sign of "overuse" or "bad posture". Corsets "gently remind you" to sit straight AND whenever you are doing some heavy lifting they give the same protection which the broad leather belts add to the performances of strongmen and weightlifters ... by simply "reflecting the force of the belly muscles back inside the body ... to stabilise the entire stomach area." Sadly women have forgotten about this ... due to PROPAGANDA.

    A couple years back Frugal Money Savers did a no spend and Frugal Queen also does this. A no spend is paying household bills and planning a modest groc allowance for milk, bread etc.. once that is spent you JUST MAKE DO, When you make a decision you have to stick with it. No cheats allowed! It’s all about priorities and what you hope to accomplish with the no spend in the first place. Good luck with future challenges. Susan

    My grandfather and great uncle were farmers. We were all hunters when I grew up. They actually used to stock ringneck pheasants in the wildlife management area that bordered on my grandfather's field. They would fly over the fence in the morning to sun themselves and forage in the fields, and we would hunt along the fence lines and patches of trees. My great uncle used to say his boys didn't know what beef tasted like til they were in high school because they ate so much venison.
