You married the wrong brother - lol. Did you tell Maudine that?
When did she grow the big hair? Most people with big hair haven't changed their style in 20 years.

What can I say...not much,I'm laughing so hard! I always get caught up in
in your stories, Joe Love, and then...BANG! You surprise me with hilarity! Former Southern college cheerleaders are the worst offenders in the big hair category!

You had me at "Big Hair"...
Yes it is true...southern women are genetically predisposed to big hair. It is also true that the only way to balance out a behemothic bouffant is with a healthy helpin' of hearty hospitality. I'm a Louisiana girl so I learned this in preschool while the boys were learning about camouflage, shotguns and beer.
Fortunately, those six years I spent in the dry mountain air of Denver calmed my own coif quite a bit, but big hair is still one of my favorite subjects so you definitely had me at "big hair"...great read!

I don't know why since she is certainly not Southern but I am picturing Michael Novotny's mother Debbie from Queer as Folk. And that was a wig!!! Oooh..there's a thought now, Southern women do like their hair pieces!

Great writing as always Joe Love
Very enjoyable read. Big hair...I've tried that once or twice since I have an abundance of the stuff begging for attention; never could keep it up very long though. Hair spray is the Viagra for tress design, but unfortunately the feel and smell doesn't agree with me.

Mr T is just over exaggerating. It was just the helicopters that had to be careful!

Sounds like a wonderful woman
Mrs T, as a teenager, also had the big hairdo. Pilots used to have to issue warnings to each other when flying over her head. Thanks goodness the hair style has since changed

Maudines usage of hairspray created her own hole in the ozone...How funny.. When I go meeting new strangers with my nephew ( HIS friends) he always introduces me as f-g hag. I don't know what happened to the more common intro of Aunt..lol Now I at least have a name and it has served me well. I use it for all my passwords..I used to wear big hair in the 70's..we all did I think. Your post is so funny and always entertaining..I felt like I was going to meet her myself~

Joe, I have a DELL INspiron 6000 laptop
That desperately needs the keyboard cleaned. On my old one, you could remove a few screws and the keyboard lifted right up so you could clean out the cookie and pot crumbs.
But I can't see how this one comes apart. Do you know?

joe_love, I read this post much earlier today and just loved working away at a comment for you. When I tried to post the comment, my computer shut down. I was thinking that Maudine's hairdo sounds like the ones that women used to wrap with toilet paper to preserve the do during the night while they slept on it.

Isn't nice to have a crazy wonderful family?
I keep thinking of the movie hairspray while reading this. I can smell the final net all the way to Michigan and I swear I can now taste it after reading this. Final net gives the WORST aftertaste for passerbys.

She sounds delightful - "southern" hair and all.

Yes, I've heard of the big-haired girls of the South, they still exist then
But hair spray or not, hospitality is a dying art, and one to be cultivated. I'm glad you made a friends with her. Friends are priceless, crafty and all.

Great work, Joe!
I think anyone who lives south of the Mason Dixon line knows Maudine very well. And she's something else, hair and all.
