<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 269679, member: 121&quot;]I come from a long line of very strong, very grand women, on both sides of the family (though they are related). I suppose most had to be strong, considering the men they married. Although, once again, most of them were distantly related to their spouses.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I beg our pardon!!!! I NEVER got too big for my britches.......I just made some really poor decisions........many without consulting those who knew better than I. But I did succeed in getting a truly nasty&nbsp; general &quot;demoted&quot; to sharing a bedroom with an enlisted man (poor soldier - I never thought about HIM).&nbsp; Hey, when you have the last empty bed in New York, you get to make the rules...............</p><p><br /></p><p>And I didn&#039;t start shaving until about three years after the war was OVER...........and all of the maids except one were way too old for a guy my age to be interested in. The tweeny, a teenager, was mentally challenged (daughter of one of the estate farmers) and held no &quot;interest&quot; for anyone except some (unwarranted) pity. She was a lovely girl but she could be scary at times (remember the era please!).</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to put all of this out here - It is all so fresh in my memory right now because I am chronicling it for my forum. It was a period with a cast of characters and events that are unique in American history and I hate for it to be totally lost to time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
