LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 5268 Loc: Land of the Flat Water	It seems very strange for me to see Marie-Antoinette wearing a dress made of muslin. How times must change. My mother made sheets and pillow cases to support our family's income when I was a boy. And I remember it being very stiff, even after washing before sale. Of course more washings made it more pliable, but wearing it as the queen did gives me the shivvers. _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep----

When were you Queen, Luke? or are you still? (Is this a cue for a rendering of "Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly ..."?) _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise

I guess we're talking about thirty years ago, when you were jest a lil gal _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise
