It's easier when it is variations on a theme rather than directly contradictory though!
Not heard that one about gloves, but I never ever put shoes (new or otherwise) on a table.
I don't put shoes on a table either, because shoes are dirty, often, and it would be unhygenic....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
This is Chris Hadfield of the ISS...amazing, heroic and moved me close to tears as I thought about where he was, what they do and the sheer guts it must take.

He's amazing. I wonder, he must be Canada's most famous astronaut.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

He's been getting a hard time from some quarters (ie the idiotic ones) for not being American. So I tried to think of other Canadian astronauts and failed. However Canada is very famous for inventing the space shuttle's robotic arm, if not the ubiquitousness (is that even a word) of its astronaut community.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

It also applies to new shoes, shoes in boxes, shoes in bags...
But yes, I can see the logic. I was brought up to take my shoes off at the door. If someone wears shoes in the bathroom (where I am most likely to be sockless and shoeless, I feel slightly uncomfortable until the floor is mopped/ bathmat has been washed.0 -

I so wanted to by Judy Jetson and have a flying car and a robot that tidied my clothes away when I turned to adulthood. Hanna and Barbera have a lot to answer for.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

I had to buy it for myself, DH would never spend that much! Now I never wear it because I'm too scared of damaging it.
That's a shame - I'd wear it, and get pleasure out of it. Pearls aren't diamond hard, but they aren't very easy to damage physically. Chemical damage is more likely to be a problem - don't spray perfume or deoderant anywhere near them.NDG I have learnt a lot about pearls. Thank you.
My 'best string' are a rope of creamy round ones that I have had for about 20 years. They were a gift from OH. I have no idea what they are called.
Probably Akoya. 20 years ago, there were very few round freshwaters. How big are they?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
