I need a warm comfy chair by the fire and gallons of something warm to drink. I'm so pooped from digging out of the snow yesterday.

Is this better?? I found the poodle skirt and a pink sweater. A bit 50'ish but that's all I could find.

Thanks for the offer MOFF. I'll remember that for next Halloweenie.

Tonya: pizza for everyone and drinks all round.

Nope! Just those awful black frames we wore in the 60s and thought looked cool! I can't believe I wore them for my senior picture! But without glasses I tend to walk into walls. Where were the fashion police back then?

[gini]

Probably no one care......but this word made me stop and look at it and wonder about its derivation..........

Sorry, I do have days like this...........


rhine·stone ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rnstn)
n.
A colorless artificial gem of paste or glass, often with facets that sparkle in imitation of a diamond.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[After the Rhine(translation of French caillou du Rhin : caillou, pebble + du, of the + Rhin, Rhine).]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rhinestoned adj.
Word History: Although rhinestones are inseparably associated with the costumes of country and western singers and Las Vegas dancers, the word originally had European associations. The Rhine in rhinestone is the Rhine River, and rhinestone is a translation into English of the French phrase caillou du Rhin. Originally a rhinestone was a kind of rock crystal that was found in or near the Rhine. Other types of rock crystal, such as Cornish diamond, were given similar fancy names. Because rhinestones could be made to imitate diamonds, the name rhinestone was applied to artificial gems made from paste, glass, or gem quartz and as a result often carries a connotation of showbiz glitz.
