She’s a settler! She settles for things.

This is exactly how the totalitarian communists want all of us to live. They want to drag the USA down to the level of the rest of the world so that we can then become part of the New World Order.

She doesn’t have anything on the muslims. They are still living like it is 20 B. C.

No, but I did skip over the part where this woman lives in England. It’s a lot easier to ride bikes in many towns there. Nonetheless, people did drive cars there in 1939. Of course my mother was born in 1915 and never had a driver’s license, so...

Thank you for the clarification.

I have to admit the chamber pot is a bridge too far for me but the right guy probably could talk her into a true to period water closet.

And don't give up lady. There are guys looking for an old fashioned wife. They are rare but they are out there.

Sadly most of them also enjoy toilets and central heating.

Sitting at my desk, fielding the Monday-morning password (and other technical) calls, her choice looks pretty good to me! ;-)

There’s a couple in Washington State who have been living a Victorian lifestyle for a long time; they get around on very old fashioned bicycles:

Retroculture is really a thing.

[dainbramaged]

Does she also refuse modern medicine?

[PAR35]

Does she have a victory garden in her back yard?

And someone should tell her that they did have indoor plumbing in the cities in the 1930s.

If she’s going to stick to the theme, she wouldn’t have pets. Remember the government sponsored extermination of cats and dogs in England in 1939:

“As many as 750,000 British pets were killed in just one week.”

Lakenheath or Upper Heyford?

I have a 40 plus year old jeep and it has routine challenges.

[kaehurowing]

As a recovering Young Fogey, I totally agree with this.

[Pelham]

I didn’t know about the great UK pet massacre.

More fun to live like it is 8,000 BC.

There was an excellent BBC short series titled, "Supersizers Go..." in which a couple, a restaurant critic and a comedienne, eat the diet and live the lifestyle of various periods of British history ranging from the Roman era to the 1980s. Prior to each week, they receive battery of medical tests, blood work, etc. with a follow up visit at the end of the week for comparison. IIRC, they actually came out of the WWII episode with some pretty positive results:

Supersizers Go Wartime

I can highly recommend the entire series for foodies, history buffs and just those looking for a little off-beat entertainment.

I’ll take a wild guess here that she’s single and has no children. LOL

I sense some deep rooted relationship issues from failures.

Just remember - Hitler loved his dogs. Churchill had hundreds of thousands of dogs slaughtered.
