On this day: In 1138 a massive earthquake struck Aleppo, Syria. In 1582, because of the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, this day does not exist in this year in Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain. In 1767 the surveying for the Mason–Dixon line separating Maryland from Pennsylvania was completed. In 1811 inventor John Stevens' boat, the Juliana, began operation as the first steam-powered ferry (service between New York City, New York, and Hoboken, New Jersey). In 1852 the University of Sydney, Australia's oldest university, was inaugurated. In 1910 former President Theodore Roosevelt became the first US president to fly in an airplane -- he flew for four minutes with Arch Hoxsey in a plane built by the Wright brothers at Kinloch Field (Lambert–St. Louis International Airport), St. Louis, Missouri. In 1958 NASA launched the lunar probe Pioneer 1 (the probe falls back to Earth and burns up). In 1962 Pope John XXIII convened the Roman Catholic Church's 21st Ecumenical Council, better known as Vatican II, the first in 92 years. In 1968 NASA launched Apollo 7, the first successful manned Apollo mission, with astronauts Wally Schirra, Donn F. Eisele and Walter Cunningham aboard. In 1987 a huge sonar exploration of Loch Ness failed to find the world famous monster known affectionately as Nessie. In 2000 NASA launched STS-92, the 100th Space Shuttle mission, using Space Shuttle Discovery.
Pretty much every woman I know really doesn’t like to wear a bra, but feels like they have to for support. They are bands of elastic, sometimes with underwires, that get strapped on every day, and while I agree that they beat corsets, they are still pretty uncomfortable at times – all of us have had the experience of getting welts from wearing them 18 hours a day, or broken out with a rash from heat or allergies. Putting a bra on can be a struggle because 99% of them hook in the back and not many of us have someone to help us get dressed. How do you get those two or three hooks fastened? You can put them on, and try to twist your arms around and reach back and hook them by feel – good luck with that ploy. Only two ways work that I have found – hook them ahead of time and try to wriggle into them, pulling them down over your head. Yeah, that works about as well as you would expect. Usually the method I use is to hook them in the front, then drag the closure around to the back and get myself stuffed into the cups. Now about those underwires: added to brassieres back in the 1940’s [supposedly Howard Hughes developed an underwire bra for Jane Russell to wear in The Outlaws] they do lift and provide additional support. The wire, after the bra has been washed several times, will often start working its way out and once it starts coming out, no amount of sewing/mending will keep it in and you are left with a perfectly good bra that has one side with a wire and one without.
Why am I going on and on about bras? Well today, when I put it on for this morning, and twisted it around my body, there was a sudden pain – it really hurt! I was rather perplexed, getting dressed usually didn’t cause bodily harm, but come to find out, the wire was peeking out and there was a sharp point, so I ended up with a 6” gash on my back that promptly started bleeding.
*sighs* starting the day with your own underwear savaging you has to be a sign of some sort….
