I may stop wearing something in public when I recognize it's gotten too ratty, but you better believe that I'll wear that beloved piece of clothing until it disintegrates. I still mourn a nightgown that was a present from my parents in my teens and which I wore for the next fifteen years, until even I realized that there wasn't much left holding it together. I've never found anything to match its like.<br /><br />Farewell, dear Binky. You were a good and faithful servant.<br /><br />*sniff*Carol Elainehttp://ordinarygoddess.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745748859173296736.post-17736049322488371962009-07-12T11:58:34.474-04:002009-07-12T11:58:34.474-04:00Nathan, my condolences on your loss. ;)
Anon GF, ...Nathan, my condolences on your loss. ;)<br /><br />Anon GF, you're a good woman. That would have mysteriously found its way to the bottom of a goodwill donation bag a few years ago in my house. My reply to the hub?

Not only did you ...Are you sure you vote Democrat?<br /><br />Not only did you destroy a perfectly salvageable piece of fine natural COTTON clothing - you burned it! The smoke! the cancerogenes that escaped in the fresh green Gaia's forest! the stink that poisoned the air (btw, I suspect that's where the tears came from). And what did you do with the zipper, huh? It lies there in the wilderness, scorched, unable to start a new life as a piece of useful machinery - like a pistol trigger, for instance.<br /><br />And now you're consoled by some poor substitution...there is no fidelity in the world.

Take empty cardboard box that the beer arrived in and stuff it full of paper and various sizes of kindling (no wasting time with getting the little stuff started first and then gradually building).<br />3. Put box in fire pit and surround with/pile on cut logs for burning.<br />4. Light box on fire.<br />5. Stand upwind for 10 minutes while massive amounts of smoke blow away from you.<br />5. Hear the distinctive "WHOOOMPF" when the flames overpower the smoke.<br /><br />Voila!

I freely admit that I laughed my ass off. Yes, it was cruel. But you had to be there. Especially for the fun of getting the fire started.<br /><br />I took the burning ceremony pictures you see with Nathan's most excellent camera.<br /><br />MWT, trust me, it had reached the end of the road. I suspect that any cutting would have led to further unravel ling and falling to pieces.vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955307244053931069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745748859173296736.post-67552453447974545802009-07-10T18:51:08.742-04:002009-07-10T18:51:08.742-04:00NOOOOOO!!!!!!
