Hi, MatsunoJo,

I don't know why she wrote it out, or why she never changed it. This was over a year before the FWL problem, so that isn't why. When people send me something I don't want time after time, I just stop sending TY's back. When the WL was working, there was no excuse for not sending one of the free items from the list.

What were you wearing when the old lady accosted you? As for me looking young, as I get older, I continue to stand up as straight as I can, smile a lot, walk relatively fast, and wear tye dye and jeans. I think all of those things contribute to people thinking I am younger than I am. But sometimes it borders on the ridiculous. Last week someone accused me of being 25 years younger than I actually am. I'm starting to think that more people should visit their eye doctors to get glasses!

I'm still trying to think of something for the male Hallowe'en avatar that wouldn't be too scary or too boring. All I have come up with so far is a young man in a suit with an armful of books getting ready to ring the doorbell. We wouldn't have to decide if he was from the IRS or just a proselytiser! 😜  In any case, NO CLOWNS!

Do you like ironing, too? I love the smell of fresh starch when it is heated. Nowadays, the only thing I starch is doilies, but I remember doing tons of shirts when everything was just plain old cotton, and wrinkled otherwise. Remember Madras cloth? I had a shirt made of that when I was in high school that I trained to have creases where I wanted them by ironing it the same way over and over. It eventually didn't even need ironing!
