7:29 am

gingin

Marc, cans are often steel, or tin-coated steel, aluminum or chromium-coated steel. depending on what is being preserved and how acidic it is.

7:37 am

MollyL

And there is the word I was trying so hard to avoid. Should be easy to get now.

10:25 am

Uneaixoise

Tx Carla!

10:26 am

hokie carla

my grandmother used to use it to back quilts. I think that's mainly what it is used for these days.

10:30 am

MollyL

Sorry, should have said a fabric that USED to be used for sheets

10:31 am

cybernan

was used for ladies undergarments at one time as well -- in the days of petticoats and drawers

10:32 am

hokie carla

I would get so confused when I first started making clothes and all the FB groups would say "make a mu6 first" because I was thinking of the fabric but they mean it as a fitting garment made out of cheap but similar fabric to what you're making, not necessarily out of mu6.

10:34 am

hokie carla

and the holy grail (well that might be an overstatement) is when you end up with a "wearable mu6"

10:37 am

Hank Williams, Jr., famous country singer and son of Hank Williams, Sr, famous country singer

11:11 am

bichon

11:12 am

MollyL

I'm sad that there are people who don't know who Hank Williams and Hank Williams Jr. are. : (

11:12 am

hokie carla

I think their fame transcends country music but I could be wrong.

11:14 am

hokie carla

okay, looks like I was not wrong ;-)

11:14 am

MollyL

"Hey Good Lookin'" is a classic whether you are into country music or not

11:15 am

bichon

I'm sure I've heard him sing, but I listen to Johnny Cash

11:15 am

MollyL

"I"m So Lonesome I Could Die"..."Jambalaya"..."Your Cheatin' Heart"...

11:16 am

hokie carla

bichon, Hank Sr was alive 1923-1953, and this is from wiki "Regarded as one of the most significant and influential American singers and songwriters of the 20th century"

11:19 am

bichon

I don't really listen to country musice, but I'm sure I've heard Hank William. Don't forget, grew up in NYC

11:19 am

Judi

Howdy, y'all.

11:20 am

hokie carla

I wasn't alive then, but I feel like he probably reached NYC.

11:20 am

hokie carla

howdy, judi

11:25 am

hokie carla

okay, have never heard of tr7 and dictionary has it as a proper noun. thanks, enable.

11:27 am

bichon

Shakespean play, ******* and Cressida

11:29 am

MollyL

Yes, but if you read the HELP section, under WORDS NOT ALLOWED it says "Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are NOT IN THE ENABLE DICTIONARY." Which means, if a proper noun IS in the Enable dictionary, it is allowed. It's a weird game.

11:30 am

Judi

Time for lunch. BBL.

In this case Tr7 with the lower case "T" turns out to be the common name : "a tr7 butterfly" "A large American butterfly (P...t....). It is black, with yellow marginal spots on the front wings, and blue on the rear."
