Obviously. :-)

Okay, you mentioned antimacassars. Do you know what they are, why they are called that, and have you ever seen any? I own ( but have never used ) several inherited ones, should you need one. LOL

Antimacassars were used to keep macassar hair oil popular with men off furniture fabric. And yes, I actually owned one at one time. The first time I heard the word was in college -- a girl with enormous breasts under a tight clockwork sweater was reading the Randal Jarrell (sp?) poem Zela en Ram (sp?) and I fell in love with the girl and the word.

So, are you saying then, that I should actually put something on my FR profile?
