And didn't they smell vile?<br /><br />I'm aware that if I reveal too many details about certain aspects of the funeral home, especially the embalming room, that I may risk alienating many people. I felt I was taking a risk in this post and was fearful of turning people off. I know that's not answering your question, so if you really want to know, you can always email me. Thanks again for reading.KATE MAYFIELDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188611212969681379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651966380862866650.post-2234927224955930742010-11-14T15:36:40.031-08:002010-11-14T15:36:40.031-08:00Ah yes, the beauty parlor.

In the female population at that time only those females born with curls were immune to those travesties.<br /><br />My first question is actually about that "hose." Hope to hear more of an explanation in the future.savvysavingbyteshttp://savvysavingbytes.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651966380862866650.post-28440634195014800412010-11-13T02:05:06.926-08:002010-11-13T02:05:06.926-08:00Oh Ruth, I wish you had a photo of THAT!Oh Ruth, I wish you had a photo of THAT!KATE MAYFIELDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188611212969681379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651966380862866650.post-72150726576792205332010-11-12T15:29:21.003-08:002010-11-12T15:29:21.003-08:00I can remember when I was very young all the women...I can remember when I was very young all the women of the family getting together to do each others hair and to watch Coronation street on an old tiny black and white set...
