the price of lace

Back in ye olden day, the tedious job of making lace was hard work. Creating the most beautiful and delicate work required dexterous hands (usually women in that time, let’s be honest), but could only be sold by men as only they had the right to own a business. Women literally worked their fingers to the bone, eventually losing feeling or gaining pain in their hands from carpal tunnel, arthritis, and ligament or nerve damage. During the height of the lace fad, women were not recognized for their work, only the men they worked for, but we’re able to gain a higher-than-average wage for the times. Thus, “the price of lace” became a euphemism for what one pays in hard work and perseverance for a slight gain.

I’m willing to pay the price of lace if it means I can feed my family even one more day.

Lace

To teach

In life's race one must never chase. So you must stay ready, all the time or you get left hbehind. Similar to an old shoe, life will toss you to the side as opportunities pass by, in this wicked game of give and take we all play. To remain true and never reform is a promise I mad to myself as I lace a female with knowledge and if the bitch acts a certain way or misbehaves then she gets delt accordingly. As a fair warning to all females, the only constant in is change. So I stay reinventing myself thus I will not hesitate to replace.
