Our daughter-in-law is half-Swedish and she isn't any different from a woman in the U.S. She likes nice clothes, wears make-up, takes a bath every day (sometimes 2 if she has worked outside) and has beautiful hair.

It is like saying everyone that lives in Missouri only has gone as far as the 5th grade and have outhouses. Oh, and we go barefoot all the time.

Sheesh.....some of my Eastern relatives don't think we have paved streets and running water in AZ, either (!)

When the in-laws were planning for their first visit to AZ they asked if they would need a car or if everything was walking distance........I so wanted to insinuate it was just like a scene from Rawhide, Little House on the Prairie, Bonanza, etc., but I didn't.

That's hilarious............but, then again, one of my Chicago pals asked me if there were a lot of teepees around where I live................

We do have lots of coyote though. Saw a few tonight. Although, they're more urbanized than ever. I saw one crossing the busy street - in the crosswalk, with the walk light.

I grew up outside of Philadelphia. Moved to Georgia and married an Atlanta native. Someone from home once asked me if my husband had all of his teeth!

Ah, to go completely against my previous posts, I did LOVE Guinot skincare products. Hard to find here.

I came from France when I was 15. When I took my teenagers back years later. I was asked what my daughters did to have such beautiful hair. I told that person they washed it. Lol

Boy, those women overseas are big ole girls!!

Our kids came over tonight for supper and get in the hot tub. Our grandchildren were tired, so I told them to take them home and I would wash their suits.

I just went down to get the things out of the washer and for some reason I looked at our daughter-in-laws swimsuit. I couldn't read it because it was in Swedish but the size read.......Ready, 90C

Exactly. It's all just generalizations.

And sales talk. Sometimes it's really beyond ridiculous.

90c is converted to only 35.4331 inches - which isn't too unusual.

I think that's about a size 12-14, no?

I like to think that European women are glamorous, refined, and beautiful. I know it's often not true. But, I still like to think it. That selling tactic kind of works on me. Many European women do seem to dress well and look beautiful with little effort.

And there is something about a soap "Made in France." Ot Italian leather. Or Japanese skin care.

I know they feel the same way about us. American products are huge everywhere. They will make you look like the "All American girl," right? The grass is always greener.

I personally like the javelinas..........when I was working at a resort, they used to come up to the lobby doorway........and snort. We also had a small challenge with fruit bats flying through.................
