For the second time in as many days, as I was finishing applying my make-up, drops of water began forming on my forehead. Then my torso quickly became hotter and soon my bathrobe was drenched in sweat.
Wonderful. Hot Flashes. Great.
But it got me thinking . . . why not become a nudist? While the hot flashes wouldn’t stop, it might make them easier to bear. Hmmm.
So here are my 5 reasons. What are yours?
1.) Clothes would keep dry because . . . there would be no clothes to get wet in the first place.
2.) Wouldn’t have to keep up with the latest in clothing fashions, leaving time to do more productive things, like . . . read War and Peace . . . catalog all participants on all “American Idol” shows according to singing style and eye color . . . or start a collection of fortunes from fortune cookies.
3.) Save money on clothing because . . . there will be no clothes to buy.
4.) Save money on laundry since there will be less laundry to do.
5.) Better for the environment since you’re doing less laundry and less water and soap is being used.
I used Noxzema from the time I was old enough to wash my own face, all through school and into adulthood. Then I decided it wasn't 'sophisticated' enough and went with higher priced, higher end products. About 5 years ago, I went back to 
How funny....i only very recently (within last week) read the coconut oil articles on the web. (100 uses, 80 uses etc.) so i bouht some and ordered some from amazon. (Im a stockpiler.)
Have started trying some of the uses. I tried using it a
If your going to be financially secure enough to venture out and see whats available in the B & B field...take your time and check it out. If you have to jump into a job..just to have one..you will not be happy. Hope you get the time to find wh
Very solid reasoning. I think I’ll suggest it to my husband. Do you think there’ll be a problem from law enforcement? I know . . . the money we’d save from all of the above, we could pay for our lawyer. (lol)
Thank you, dynamomma, for your analysis and your wise suggestion for a contingency plan for legal representation. And if you found an especially knowledgeable attorney, he/she might even argue that law enforcement’s action directly violates one of our inalienable rights as described in the Bill of Rights — that is, our “pursuit of happiness.”
Think of it! We could set legal precedent! (Excuse me, as I remove my tongue from my cheek.) (lol)
Now on a sincere note — thank you for your post. Have an ecstatic Monday.
See above. Trying to edit extra responses.

But SeaWriter — midlife is OUR time to bare our . . . ah, “souls” . . . to fully be our own persons. We cannot allow the unenlightened (including our own children) to dictate who we declare ourselves to be. Flies in the face of our pure authenticity, our authentic selves finally, truly “unmasked” for all the world to see. (Excuse me . . . tongue is still stuck to cheek.)
Now on a much more authentic note, thank you for taking the time to comment. May you revel with the Muse this Monday.
My reason? Everyone deserves a good laugh now and then!!
I like your style, Storytaker! We could form a comedy duo, eh?
As I told Dallas Lady, this was part of a longer post at Sandra’s Midlife Musings dot blogspot dot com and in the end I had to conclude, if I took my own advice, I would set back the “Beautify America” campaign about 120 years, y’know what I mean?
Thank you for your comments. Have an incredibly wonderful Monday.
I’ve got 6 reasons they should not:
2 sagging boobs
1 Menopot
1 ass dragging the floor
2 thunder thighs
sigh…………..
Dallas Lady, I understand. This post on Vibrant Nation was part of a slightly longer post at Sandra’s Midlife Musings dot blogspot dot com And at the end, I had to relent, too. For me it was that, if I followed my own advice, it would set back the “Beautify America” campaign about 120 years, y’know what I mean? Wouldn’t want to besmirch Lady Bird’s legacy. I’m sure being from Dallas, you appreciate my concerns in a special way.
Have a creative day!
all of the above

I live where there is snow for more than half the year sometimes, kinda puts the kibosh on the nudist lifestyle, unless of course you’re a hermit.
Hmmmm………the area where I live is known for it’s nudist colonies……….there are two less than 10 miles from our house……
Olga, I’m glad I got you thinking outside the box(ers). And thank you for your comments. Have fun!
Yes…in fact…most of the time I do! I trot around the house ripping off my robe and going postal looking for my I-Fan…
5 Reasons to go rogue…hhmmmm
1) the cat doesn’t seem to mind or hold it against me…
2) when I flash during walking to the bathroom at night…the breeze would cool me down…
3) uncomfortable pants wouldn’t be causing a rash…
4) i’ll be used to it and comfortable this time, if i ever make it again to a nude beach
5) but…on second thought…i’d never go out..so guess i’ll keep it local…only round the house for now…
Cheers and happy flashing…both kinds…
Well said, jazzmuse, well said. Like your “cheeky” tone. Have a fabulous Friday!
