In answer to question No. 2, she died in 1938, "after a total of nearly three decades in isolation", and I never had the dubious pleasure of meeting the woman..

Before reading about her, remember there were no antibiotics 100 years ago.

Men would die from shaving back then..............a cut that got infected and the infection spread.

A contagious illness, like typhoid fever killed a lot of people. If you had it, you were really bad news to anyone that might come in contact with you:

No, SS, a man, not a woman ... not even a "girly-man".

Last time I checked (about every 3 hours) I still had the equipment to prove it.

Luckily, I'm not, since she would have a heck of a beard.

Just curious.

Hey, now that you told us that  you go pee around every 3 hours, the questions can't get too personal (-:

Not too long. Sort of a Van Dike.

I was ... but now I just believe in the Golden Rule.

That pee thing … that's 24/7, which is why I might be posting at 2 AM.  It's 5:15 AM right now.
