It's to keep a nursing baby's hands occupied while they eat. Many children
will pinch skin, twiddle the other nipple, pull hair, etc. A nursing
necklace gives them something to play with/hold their interest. Some people
will string wooden beads on hemp or use plastic. I make mine with
glass/metal and of a length that they can be worn as regular jewelry when
mama is out and about.

If you check the necklace area of my site (link below) you can see several
ones that I've done, some with boob beads <grin>.

Sooz - calling me kiddo? HAW - I'm not that much younger than you (I
think!).

I was going to ask too --- was afraid I didn't know 'cause I'm a guy...

(BTW: I'm particularly interested because I'm doing another "birthing
bracelet" --- which means I make beads that are long and smooth (rather than
wide, chunky, or bumpy) to "promote" easy childbirth for the recipient!!!)

Oh, I use that word all the time with anyone, regardless of age. It's just
like saying "dolling" or "baby" or "girlie" -- terms of endearment I use with
no real accuracy. Just sweetie-names. But I bet I'm a bit older than you!
I'm 48 and a half.

I remember you talking about this before, but I still have a bad case of
postpartum-brain and have forgotten: what is a "nursing necklace"? Is it
for the baby to fiddle with while nursing (instead of Mom's other
nipple)? It's cool!

Yeah,
There is this club called the Red Hat Club. They wear red hats, purple
dresses and get together and do fun, sometimes exciting stuff. It's for
women over 50 who are celebrating who they are.

Cool. Can you wear something red that *isn't* a hat? I don't do hats, I look
dorky in them. (I'm also not over 50 yet, but I'm sneaking up on it!)

[Karin Cernik]

When I Am Old I Shall Wear Purple

By Jenny Joseph

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple

with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves,

and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired

and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells

and run my stick along the public railings

and make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain

and pick the flowers in other people's gardens

and learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

and eat three pounds of sausages at a go

or only bread and pickles for a week

and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry

and pay our rent and not swear in the street

and set a good example for the children.

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

ROFLMAO - Purple and red is one of my fave color combinations! I'm young
though. But then again, I am pretty crazy when it comes to color. :)

You just have to find the right hat! The more
outrageous the better. And for those under 50,
it's a lavender dress with a pink hat.

Yes she is. Of course, so am I. It must be the
"When I am old, I shall wear purple with a red hat
that doesn't go" syndrome.

I love this poem and I love these women! If any of you have not seen the
poster, "Dancers of the Third Age", email me and I will be happy to send you
the jpg.

Apparantly it was a real dance troupe in Brooklyn or Jersey or
somewhere - on that I am not knowledgeable. All I know is I love these
grammas!! All lined up in a dance pose on fire from within.They are
absolutely magnificent of spirit!

Nope. After 50 you can be as outrageous
as you want and blame it on "the change".
The very thought terrifies men so badly that
they don't even ask. It's one of those mystical
