Wow - I haven't thought about stretchers for curtains for 65 years...

Forgot such a thing ever existed.
About 10-15 years ago I bought a pair of pant stretchers from Vermont Country catalogue.
Thought it would make my slacks nice and straight after washing.
And it did fairly well, but I guess I forgot about it over a summer when wearing shorts, and haven't used it in a number of years now.

Stretchers for curtains reminds me also of rugs hanging on clothes lines, and rug-beaters, those tennis-racket-shaped things that one was to use to get the dust and dirt out of rugs.

Thankfully, my mom was not a clean fanatic. We never had curtain stretchers or rug beaters. We never made dozens of Christmas cookies and we didn't can jellies and vegetables. And I'm talking about the 30's and 40's.
So I feel no guilt about not doing those things because they were never really a part of my life. I just observed some others doing it.

Repulsed- that accurately describes my feelings towards him. nt

Would Dems consider asking Hy-Vee for a matching donation?

ROI- They (believe they) have to make a profit on the time and resources spent on their

investment.
After all, their business is not a charity!


Sarcasm intended...

Get and use a new toothbrush; dispose of the old one.

Gargle frequently; I use Cepacol liquid for gargling. You will want to keep the cold and inflammation away from the throat & chest.

Vicks Vaporub inside nostrils, or inhale Vicks mentholetum in any way that's convenient for you. They have smaller inhalers now, also a steam pot for menthol such as in Vicks.

Many, or at least several, of the detention camps are managed or owned by private

companies.
The owners and management of such companies could be easily subpoenaed, and could not resist in the way the Administration's lackeys have.
Please, let the subpoenas flow....

Frozen blueberries are not hard on teeth, providing they're not stuck together in a glob.

When out of fresh berries, I use about 1/3 cup frozen on my cold cereal.
By the time I get to each individual berry, it's soft enough, from the few minutes in cold milk, to be "just right".

I realize there's some levity in your response - not 100% serious...

Thank you, Glorfindel, for locating for me the source of the image.

Book of Revelation has always been very mysterious to me, so I don't go near it often.
However, I see the image captures all from that biblical passage most beautifully and fully.

Thank you for sharing these gorgeous photos, California Peggy!

2 Questions:

1. Where in Paris is Ste. Chapelle located?
2. The image of the person with a sword between his teeth? Who does it represent? Is it God the Father; is it Jesus; or another I don't recognize?

Buy or rent a hard-hat and maybe you can get into Notre Dame, at least when

Mass is being celebrated.
