I get Erma Bombeck's humor more now 😁 This was a great nostalgic read bringing me back to my 20s and earlier; fun!

dabbe She is one of our state's treasures! I remember that Loehmann dressing room too well! 😂 4mo
TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe 😂😂 I have a vague memory of going into a Loehmann's communal dressing room once with my mother and grandmother. I think I made a comment about someone's girdle, but that's all I remember about it. 4mo
dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau It had a round ottoman type place in the middle so you could sit, but yeah, everybody got to see everybody! Girdle! 😂😂😂 4mo
TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe Yes!!😂 As for girdles--I was fascinated by my grandmother's; as well as her housecoats, and her slippers that had heels on them!! 🤣🤣 4mo

In the mood for something light and easy

bthegood My mom used to read Erma Bombeck years ago so I started to read them - they are so funny! I haven't thought about her books in years - thanks for the reminder of some good reading and memories with my mom! 4mo
Leftcoastzen That‘s cool ! 4mo
TheBookgeekFrau @bthegood I love that! You're welcome🥰 I used to love to read her column in the newspaper. Granted I was way too young to really appreciate her humor then, but she sounded just like my mother! (edited) 4mo

MidnightBookGirl My mom had tons of her books and I read them all the time as a kid, lol. 4mo
TheBookgeekFrau @MidnightBookGirl My mother had a few, too! But for some reason I preferred reading her in the newspaper. Maybe it made me feel more grown up 😄 4mo
JanuarieTimewalker13 Love Erma Bombeck! 4mo
bookandbedandtea I haven't thought about Erma in decades but I'm going to find some of her books now!! Like others have mentioned, my mom had her books. I also remember reading her in The Readers Digest. (Wonder if that's still a thing 🤔) I read them and they made me laugh like crazy but realize now I was too young for true appreciation. 4mo
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea It's funny, while I get her on a whole different level now, I still find myself laughing because she sounds like my mom. I'm also enjoying the nostalgia of the world of my youth. And of course, some things are some timeless it's amazing. Definitely worth looking for her books! 4mo
