i just washed all my summer quilts and put them away for the season.

i brought out the thicker and heavier winter quilts and put them on the beds.. i love patchwork quilts and have a couple of heirloom ones actually made out of the scraps of old family clothes.

my mom can point to a fabric and say," oh, that was a dress of mine when i was little," or, "that was my mother's apron.".

Never done it myself and I am guessing it might be expensive but some have a sheepskin mattress cover with the wooly fluffy bits facing up and sheet to cover it.

I think the sheepskin keeps you warm in winter but cool in summer and it relieves pressure points.

If you were in hospital with a bad leg they'd put ankle sheepskin bootie slippers on you to protect your heels against pressure.

A Question For The Scholarly Re Gilgamesh

by jonahstourguide in

hi all.. read this article re the gilgamesh clay tablet.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-21/us-returns-gilgamesh-tablet-to-iraq/100478858.

how does it impact the dating of the biblical flood?

it seems earlier.. i am going to do some research myself to make a comparison.. it's interesting as i have not previously heard of the tablet but have heard of the.

My friend Tadua has done a lot of research on the Flood - here is a link work he has done related to the Bible Book of Genesis. This is Part 1 - you'll see there are many other parts. So browse around for what interests you.

He has also carefully put together an interactive map with markers for every Flood legend and Myth that has been documented from around the world.

I'd like to see your quilts too great teacher - though I'd never make one. Or if I did it wouldn't look great.

Here in UK it is time to put the fans away and maybe get the hot water bottles out or put on a thicker duvet.

Petrol prices are going up so it could mean panic buying season has just started. Not sure.

Good news and bad news --- pandemic and Kingdom Halls.

by pistolpete in

u/aposta-fish from exjw reddit.

good news bad news pandemic and kingdom halls.. first the bad news, coming out of israel - one of the first countries to push total vaccination.

the news is the vaccine especially the pfizer one looks like it wears off and hospital rates have gone up for those that have been vaccinated.

Anna Marina

Did they modify some of the buildings so they were easier to sell?

Could they sell them to themselves?

Unless someone is going into maintain the unused halls, they'd get musty.

I have bought old literature for research/illustrations.

Funniest purchase was when I asked the person selling the stuff if they were fading or had been df'd. No they hadn't. I shared my experience and received a sweet letter and a Return to Jehovah Brochure. So that went into my collection too.

I think I ought to open a museum and offer teas and coffees. I even have trinkets (that we were encouraged to make and exchange) from the 2014 International Convention. For example a wooden spoon with one diamante on it and the super-rare (maybe) Sophia broach made from a bottle top.
