Not that she could help it, obviously, but there's nothing like a woman hand-flapping and screeching, "sweaty vagina!" in an odd, high voice to let you know you're on a public conveyance.<br /><br />ION I started 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles,' and then went and spoiled myself for the plot via Wikipedia, and I'm not sure I want to go on. Maybe I will only read 19th-century novels written by women, since so far in the ones I've read written by men the women are all Symbols of Pure Womanhood and/or Connected To Nature (or actually named The Vengeance.)<br /><br />IOON, week two of moving books 4 hours a day and I am not any less sore at the end of each day. Nor is my butt smaller. I suppose this is a consequence of being 39.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=flea&ditemid=558095" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://flea.dreamwidth.org/558095.html getting old cincinnati work books public 4
