It was mostly about noted people from literature, sports, music, movies, etc. I also watched Jeopardy tonight and did well I think I only missed 3 questions I even got the final right also! Today was a day that my brain was working.<br /><br />I canceled my subscription years ago. When I go to my local neighborhood bar I can always find a discarded copy on the bar. Minus the sports section. But who cares as long as I can spend happy hour with the NY Times puzzle & the jumble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-66456568044198814862010-01-12T23:09:10.450-06:002010-01-12T23:09:10.450-06:00Windhover, got your point.

I rarely, if ever, use paper napkins. I just love being able to rely on a strong cloth napkin that doesn't disintegrate in my hand.<br /><br />My only experience with anything corsetlike was panty-girdles, which I thought were more comfortable that garter belts, but they only involved elastic and no bones.

(Participants on this blog have not been surveyed. ;o)) So, even though Anon@6:09 might think that women would be interested in appearing 100% desirable, 100% of the time, with permanent 40% coverage, I think that's a male fantasy. The 40% rule only applies in specific situations, not 24/7. Besides which, as far as chilliness desirability goes, a cold man's assets are minimized, but a cold woman's assets are emphasized.<br /><br />Chickie, I sold my two damask tablecloths at a garage sale a few years ago.

I received mine from my Mother-in-law.<br /><br />Damask is the term for a fabic with woven in design. The design and the fabric are often the same color but of a different type of thread.<br /><br />Maniac, I like your tablecloth idea much better than the one I used on my table for the holidays. I had to iron mine and you could just toss yours after the meal was done!<br /><br />Though I do like a table fully set on a damask cloth with china, crystal and silver.

There were a lot of sexy lingerie corsets on some websites, but I think most fell within the 40% range Hahtool mentioned. (I won't bother with a link, guys.
