Very good use of your time while you remembered what you were in there for. I'm all for the salty crunchy snacks! We'll each bring our favorites. Outsideville 🤣
From perimenopause guru to perimenopause postcard printer! I really am the Jackie of all trades lol. Thanks, Susan! I'm glad this gave you a laugh today.
I'm so glad! I do these things to make me laugh, and I hope other people find them funny, too. I get eye rolls from my family 🤣. But, they aren't going through perimenopause!
Very fun and clever idea! My sister and I sometimes send each other messages similar to these postcards! Definitely unfortunate that that is how women were treated years ago. Dr. Shauna Watts did an interesting interview with Professor Jayashri Kulkarni (on YouTube) where she touches on this subject if you're interested in listening to it. Thanks for your creativity!
Hi Kat! Thank you! I love that you and your sister are so close. Thanks for the tip on the interview! I'll find it - I would be very interested in listening to it. I've been in a big phase of researching what I'm calling "women's health sociology."
You’re welcome. It’s definitely an interesting topic and unfortunate that women’s health has not been taken as serious as it should be for so long. Have fun researching!
Oh my. This made me smile. I love the postcards! But I also feel terrible for all those ladies who got dropped off at the local asylum like one drops off a box of old toys at the local charity. How awful! I agree with Jillian, you could sell those.
Glad you liked the article! I just finished a book where this happened, and it was so easy back then. Some were nicer than others depending on the family's finances and status, but all women lost the little agency they had over their lives. Thanks for stopping by!
Only you would go to a talk on postcards on a Friday night! So fun. Love the illustrations. Looking forward to more information about your visit to the museum.
Well, I wasn't the only one there 🤣, but I was one of the youngest. You know me too well. Last night, I went to the movies on a school night. Look at me! 👀
Thanks, Maggie! It's nice to break away from the educational perimenopause stuff once in a while. I joked that I should have put a warning ⚠ This article contains no actual perimenopause information. LOL!
And, I would do it just to see what would happen. It could make a really funny story. She started as a perimenopause educator and ended up owning a bazzillion-dollar printing conglomerate.
Glad I discovered your posts again. I have this saved
Thanks, Jane!
You're welcome
Good one! LOL!
My Perimenopauseville is somewhere very remote and silent, with lots of books and cats, and no people whatsoever 😀
Yes! Lots of books! I'll find a cabin way across the lake from you.
Perfect 👌
This is brilliant. Laughter really is the best medicine sometimes. Postcard club???
Greetings From Perimenopauseville!
I was on my way to the bathroom and forgot I went there to pee, so I wrote you this note instead.
I have my own thermostat, bed, and an endless supply of salt/crunchy snacks. So, basically I may never leave.
Until things simmer down, take care of yourselves in outsideville!

Please let me know where and when I can be shipped off and join you in Perimenopauseville!
This connection to old post cards was very clever. Nice article!
Thanks, Jess. I'll see you there!
Needed this laugh today! And please print these cards; they are fabulous.

The lost keys and finally stopped sweating really got me 🤣

Love this ❤️ You should do more with this idea!

You should print those out and sell them on Etsy, no lie!
