Hobbies / Re: Collecting. That's a hobby, right?
« on: June 11, 2020, 11:57:53 pm »That's how a collection starts. Slippery slope!It’s wonderful that one of those specialty yard sticks should still exist. At the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, there were rather strict rules about how high a tween and young teen-aged girls hems should be from the floor. This stick was used to make sure that the girl was properly dressed.
I collect boxes from my travels. They’re usually inexpensive, easy to pack and useful for storing odds and ends. I have several Russian lacquer boxes, a Bermuda cedar box with a hog penny in the lid and different varieties of containers from First Nation people in Alaska and Canada.
Mr. Pons and I are also collectors of books. One wall of our living room is about 25 ft. Long and it’s completely covered with books 6 shelves deep.
Drool.
I have a Ukrainian painted box that I love, and a Chinese lacquer box, and a couple of Indian copper ones, and an assortment of wooden ones: I guess I'm collecting boxes, in a minor way!

Family and Children / Re: Did you receive the gift huh? huh? huh?
« on: June 10, 2020, 12:48:01 am »Last year, I ordered some purple plaid linen (end of the bolt) and it was marked "delivered" but the location it was "delivered to was some five miles away (wrong intersection). I contacted the post office by phone twice, ran in to the usual mail man at the mailbox & mentioned it again (after I'd contacted the company about a smaller remnant that was the last of the fabric that they had - no more available - but not quite enough for the project "as planned"). The usual mailman went looking around (I told him were it had been delivered - intersection of two other streets) and he tracked it down and it was in my mail box a day or two later. I tend to try to stay on top of things that I'm expecting...especially when it is something that is not still in production.I'm impressed with your letter carrier! Excellent service on his part.
