Default I learned something today...
...about antique silk hankies and washing machines. It wasn't pretty. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Do you have a handful of antique silk thread now?

Was that what that slimy stuff was? I thought the silkworms came back for it.

I don't know why but this struck me as so funny that I was laughing out loud with tears! I also laughed at your one liner on SallyC's thread about her minivan. You could be a sitdown comic.

It was a sign from God! Hankies are gross, use Kleenex, woman!

It wasn't a hanky to USE, it was a hanky to COLLECT. My mother collected them, back in the day, and it was among some other old family linens and such. Now it's mostly in the lint trap.

I agree, hankies are gross. I keep the Puffs company in business.
