Remember when a Double Bed=2 Pillows

When did a double bed stop having two pillows??

When did a pillow case become a sham??

When did a lbs. sign become a "hash tag"??

Why does my double bed have eight pillows on it?? Why do I have to remove six pillows so I can climb into bed at night?? Why am I so positive that at some point in the future my bed will have a dozen pillows on so that I will have to remove ten pillows to go to bed at night??

Luckily I have learned not to * about all those stupid pillows so Hot Momma is not mad at me!! At least about pillows!![:D][:D]

I will confess that that hash tag crap just makes me want to scream!!

    # sign was hashtag before it became the pound sign and used in programming prior to that , Brittan used it for the currency since 1970 before social media started using it again

    maybe that will ease your pain [:D]

    Social media adopted it as they needed something new for whatever crap they were coming up with. But it was used and still is used in programming as a way to comment out something or to denote a color code in HTML programming.

    I cannot ever recall it being used in the UK to denote the Pound Sterling as they use the ?

    Remember when it got cold in winter, & you put a quilt on the bed? Now, you have to use a "duvet", which requires a "duvet cover".

    My high school physics teacher used to rail against all such foolishness: "Why? Because Momma thinks it's pretty!"

    I think I like tic tac toe better than hash tag. I think my intense dislike for the term hash tag goes back muchelle Obama telling everyone to hash tag social media so the boca harum (sp) would release those captured girls. Like them terrorists gave a crap what Obama thought or what was hash tagged.[V][}:)][V]

    Well a Duvet is just a fancy word for a down comforter and since those don't launder well, it is better to put a cover on it and wash that instead of the comforter. I have a quilt my Great grandmother made that is close to 100 years old, it used to be on my bed all winter, now I only use it when it is really really cold.

    Think I'd have that quilt framed,and hang it,of course it would take an entire wall itelf,but still. Way cool.
