8. Do you remember Mercerized thread? What is Mercerized thread?

Was there really a Mercer? That's all I remember from the few sewing escapades I have taken (count: 2).

12. Yes, I love researching on the Internet.

What did we ever do without it? I know, we spent a lot of time in the library -- sometimes we even "necked, petted and worse" in the stacks. Those were the days.

Sodium hydroxide -- not sure I've run into that chemical. (I worked for Bristol-Myers Squibb for almost a decade.)

Thanks.

3. No, I don't feel that way at all, at all!

Most threads are fascinating! I just can't get over how damned creative the folks are in DU! I wish we could somehow put all this creativity and intelligence and activism together and do something great for our beautiful country! There is so much energy here; how could we harness it? It makes me crazy...And it doesn't take much, these days.

Pardon me; I got carried away by my overflowing rant!

:rant:

:banghead:

4. One of these days I'm going to

start my own thread...but I don't know if I have the brass...plus what would be a worthy topic?

[senseandsensibility]

5. You've never started your own thread?

Give it a try! My first few went over like a lead balloon, but I didn't let that stop me!

That's the only reason I start threads.
I'm trying to raise the grade point level in here.
