Can You Tell Me Anything About This Church Chair?
Comments (8)kswl it is good to share- even chairs. lol I think from my internet research that the chair dates maybe from the 1850's. It has springs and the castors are porcelain. I can't find any Internet images of chairs like it, but I found two that had some of the same design elements and they dated 1858. I hope it is not sacrilegious to have covered the seat in teal fabric. :) I used the same fabric to add some teal stripes to some of my couch pillows. I don't think I am a good decorator but it was fun....See Moremy purse was stolen at church
Comments (55)How sad; I'm sorry it happened to you. It's good to make a police report and for you to get a copy of it. If nothing else it gives you an official report you can send to creditors, etc. that the theft was documented, where, when, etc. Also, I would ask the pastor to make this theft known in the next Sunday sermon. This lets the rest of the congregation to be more vigilant and, hopefully, make the thief turn in the non-cash contents. Who knows, there may be others just like you who have had items stolen but who have kept silent....See MoreFunny stories about church
Comments (32)When I was young, somewhere around 5 - 8 or so, I was doing something in church, maybe squirming, that displeased Dad, so he reached over and gave the lobe of my ear a substantial tweak. I made a sound of protest, rather loudly. Wrong move. Dad led me out of the church, across the lot to the church shed, built when we had horses drawing buggies, with concrete walls and a high, metal roof. I think that he took me to the far end of the shed and ministered to my legs and rear end with his belt. On the conclusion of the exercise, we were headed back into church, with my hand in Dad's, and I, embarrassed, said that I wasn't going back in there. Dad gave me a choice - back into church ... or a return to the shed. I chose to return to church (as the least unpalatable of two evils, possibly?). It was mid-June, with all of the windows in church open, and after church, Dad asked the man of the family that occupied the next pew for many years whether they'd heard any of the operation. "Every crack ... and every yell", was the reply. Ole joyful ... who made the mistake, a couple of years later, of leaning over and advising younger brother, when he began doing a similar activity in church, that he'd better stop ... or Dad would take him out to the church shed...See MoreHave you followed the Tiny Bathroom Layout thread?
Comments (12)There’s one active thread that has over 22,000 comments. Many of these long ass threads are the same posters chatting, and JAN coming on fussing at everyone. Whatever, cool, but I agree with Oly — they bump new threads down with ”Would a light blue, semi light blue, medium blue, darker medium blue, dark blue, or very dark blue pillow look better here?” I think Houzz should move them to the “Other” board, but they never ask me....See MoreAlice Edwards
