^ The straight pins! Ouch! I don't know who said you won't stick yourself though fully boned stays, but they were wrong.

< Just learned how to write "white & inviable on a man's flesh & after make the writing appear". Now who wants to let me try it on them :lol:

V more useful knowledge or more useless trivia?

< Ah does this writing hurt?

V If you could go back in time and take home one period correct object, other than a ship, what would it be?

^ a gown. Some super fancy made out of silk thing that would make a modern museum crazy with jealousy.

< no, but it involves urine :lol:

V ever find yourself laughing while reading a primary source even though it's not really "funny"?

^ Ack! I am notorious for laughing at the wrong times primary source or not!

< Hey this is the 17th/18th century, not much that doesn't involve urine... but I am thinking twice now about volunteering for this demo...

V Favorite period illustration/painting?

^ I have 3 vintage hats from my WW2 days. No hats for GAoP yet.

< Just reminded of my mom's raspberry bushes when I was growing up. We never managed to bring any in the house, we'd just eat them straight off the bush.

From what I've read the cherries are tied on somehow. In other images you can see that the "Cherry girls" have thread along with the extra sticks in their baskets.

V Green or black thumb

^ green... snigger Farmer John, will retire on vast plantation in the colony of Virginia if Port Royal doesn't kill him first.

< Now that is interesting, but can you imagine tying all those cherries to a stick? Yikes!

V Favorite plant?

^ bougainvillea. I had one for the longest time until a certain little person was learning to walk & knocked the stand over & killed it.

< Tieing cherries onto sticks, not high on my list. Hence "Strawberries Ripe, Fhane ripe strawberries! Buy my strawberries. 2p a pottle." :lol:

V Got any food allergies?

^ I had this friend who's band used to practice in my mom's basement when I was a teen. He wore SO much cologne that you could always tell when he'd arrived but the trail of scent through the living room. I can't remember the name of the stuff he wore but when ever I smell it I instantly think "Metal Head Glen!"

< I think I'm taking over this thread! One step closer to ruling the world!

V Destroy the planet or rule the world?

^ All the time snacker. I'd rather snack on healthy stuff all day than have 3 square meals.

< Happy to take over what ever she can. It's the small steps & soon enough you've walked a mile.

V prefer to walk or drive (for a mile)?

^ Depends on the conditions of the mile. Is it over burning hot coals? Or in a terrential downpour with tornados swirling overhead without a raincoat? If the weather and terrain are decent (even if there's snow, but good visibility)...I'd walk the mile.

I enjoy a good walk. :)

< Tired and PO'd today. Had car troubles after work (first time with this one), but should get 'er back later today. *sighs*

V A big, old library filled with nearly every book ever written, or a computer terminal with the widest grasp on the world's networks (Internet) that one could possibly have?

Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@
