RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Pretty close, Joe, but Rob got it. It was white according to Elizabeth Keckly. Good job, Rob.

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
No googling please.
Which First Lady said: "It is horrible to be a man. But the grinding misery of being a woman between the upper and nether millstone of household cares and training children is almost as bad. To be half civilized with some aspirations for enlightenment, and obliged to spend the largest part of the time the victim of young barbarians keeps one in a perpetual ferment." |

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Is this First Lady still living?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
It sounds too old for a 20th-century First Lady, but if it's a 19th-century First Lady, there are so many to choose from. Wild guess, Ida McKinley?

Not her, Rob. It was a 19th century First Lady.

Not her, Michael. Her husband served after the Civil War.

Sounds like a woman left home alone with the kids a lot. Julia Grant?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Kudos, Rob. That is correct. Lucretia Garfield wrote this in a letter to her husband on June 5, 1877.
