HiDee Mz Beth!

True..I might've penned more than one about Vibrators..I've done several about Electric Fans--both of which sorty qualify as The First Electric-Motored Appliances..along with Sewing Machines & Dental Drills. But..an Article in "Slate Magazine" had the first In-Depth look at the inception of Vibrators last week, & that fired me up enough to pen "Good Buzz", which I EXPECTED to be a Wee-Bit Controversial. (As Our Culture is SO Hung-Up on anything Pleasurable. I'm kinda surprised there isn't a Sin Tax on Vibrators..but guess they get off the hook since they're still good at relieving Muscle Pains.)

I'll forever kick myself for not spendin' $75 on that Hand-Cranked Model, since I've never seen Another..since! (I own 2 complete Civil War Era "Shoo Fly Fans" & Motors to 3 others that I'm still restoring..that are Electric Fans' ancestors. Wasn't all THAT Interested in Vibrators over the years..tho I've made use of some of the early electric ones on my messed-up Neck Vertebrae from time-to-time.) Some of Hamilton Beach's Early Ones'll probably still be running 200 Years from now, they're made SO-solidly! (Just Rich Folks originally HAD Electricity..& they wouldn't buy shoddily-made appliances..partly due to Fear of the whole house burnin' down.)

9th B-Day Parties sound like a BLAST! (I still remember my 4th!)
"20 Kids?"..Wheee!..Betcha never had a Dull Moment! We head off to my Fan-Collectin' Buddy & his wife, Don & Nancy Taussig, havin' their 20th Anniversary Party in Sarasota today! SO at 2 this aftynoon, there'll be a bunch of us Fan-Collectin' Grownups actin' like Kids today! Invite said "No Gifts" but La Femme found a Card that plays "You're Still The One" that should be a Hit!

Ah..to be married Only 20 Years again..heh! (Our 37th was in July.) It's Don & Nancy's 2nd Marriage...(Long Story)..they're Both Redheads..She's been Fan Club's Secretary over a Decade..Peach of a Gal..even LIKES Ol' Electric Fans (What a KEEPER!)..& makes her living as a Justice-of-the-Peace, Marryin' Folks! (Lots of great Wacky-Weddin' Annecdotes!)

Gotta Scoot..Rachael's Melody Awaits..& it's Rush City to get Flea Mkt Over with & Head off to Sarasota!

Happy Sunday & Hope you're Healin' Up Fast...& The B'day Party didn't wear ya out..20 kids at One Time makes me tired just to Think About It these days..heh!

Big Weekend Hugs & Thanks for da Kind Visit & Words, M'LadyChum!
