I wrestled my father and pinned him for a 3 count as part of my festivus feat of strength. then we sat around the pole in our living room and celebrated. for those who don't know what festivus is, get thee to a video shop and rent seinfeld.

roxy

I take it you're referring to a Festivus for the Restivus?

got the nicest scarf ever, it's cream, it's mohair and it's semi-rigid. Imagine that. Avoca. love those weavers.

My mother piped up: "I heard that you should keep mohair things in the freezer to prevent them from shedding."

Putting things in the freezer is her answer to everything! I swear. I can see it now - "ooh, looks nippy out, better get my scarf out of the freezer."


honestly.
