Westy,
Those wind-blown trees make my chainsaw throttle finger twitch.

How's your snowman? I was thinking of buying one of these huge Santas. But, if a strong wind comes , how do they fare. I wouldn't want to find my Santa on the neighbors roof top. LOL

LOL .. Frosty is doing fine

They are inflated by an air machine that you plug in.

Plus there are ropes attached that can be secured to the ground with spikes .. If it gets too windy, then just unplug the air machine thingy and Frosty deflates

Oetzi, a 5,000-year-old Iceman from the Italian Alps, lies in his new 'igloo' inside a museum in this undated photo made available by the South Tyrol Archaelogical Museum, Thursday, Dec. 4, 2003, in Bolzano, northern Italy. Officials at the South Tyrol Archaelogical Museum have built an igloo inside the museum out of tiles of ice to keep the Iceman colder and more humid to better preserve his remains.

Well, I guess I have to get one to amuse the grandkids.

I am aggravated at myself this morning, I am trying to type out a few Christmas letters, which I have not done for years. I find myself saying LOL. And I just called a relative's new baby a newbie.

When I used to have to chart in the hospital, I habitually used medical abbreviations for words in my letters. So, my sister would write back and ask me what the c with the dash over it means.

I swear, at one time in my life, I was able to write literate English. LOL

Why do men and women's shirts button on different sides?
Jani
Richmond, Virginia

Dear Jani:
While we didn't manage to isolate a definitive answer for this question, we learned plenty about the tricky relationship between exigency and style. For example, this lengthy article on button conventions suggests that in the 19th century, well-heeled Victorian women generally didn't dress themselves, so their buttons were designed to be handled by right-handed servants. Although wealthy men may have had servants to lay out their clothes, they generally dressed themselves, and so the buttons on the right side of men's garments made more sense.
A Yahoo! Search on "button history" also led us to Benjamin "Good Advice Is Timeless!" Dover of the Dallas Morning News. Mr. Dover notes that the first button jackets for men were modeled after the latching designs of armor, which were designed to stop a right-handed opponent from jamming a pike through the seam. He also suggests that the left-side buttons on women's clothes may have been intended to facilitate nursing an infant on the side closest to the woman's heart.

Jeff Elder of the Charlotte Observer (who has one of the greatest byline photos we've ever witnessed) suggests that men's coats were designed to make it easier for them to unbutton their coats with their left hand while drawing their swords with their right.

In general, we gleaned that European men tended to take their plumage cues from the military, while women's clothing arose out of domestic concerns. For more facts about couture and where it came from, check out the Fashion History category in the Yahoo! Directory.

I thought that it was to make it easier for men to remove them?
