lowanbehold I just bought three new hats. For myself, a fedora. Rakish. Mildly threatening. It was a Park Avenue sort of inspiration. For my daughter, a bowler and a too too cute roaring twenties number.

Rabbit Hill Inn

Above the Connecticut River overlooking the White Mountains, Samuel Hodby opened this tavern and provided a general store and inn to travelers. As many as 100 horse teams traveled by the inn each day. The ballroom, constructed in 1855, was supported by bent-wood construction giving the dance floor a spring effect. The classic Greek Revival exterior features solid pine Doric columns. Romance abounds in every nook and cranny. Rooms are decorated to the hilt with beautiful furnishings and linens. The Loft room, which overlooks the garden, includes cathedral ceilings and a hidden staircase. The Jonathan Commings Suite offers two fireplaces, a whirlpool and a mountain view from its third-story private porch. Turndown service and afternoon tea are only a couple of the amenities. Glorious breakfasts and gourmet, five-course, candlelit dinners add to a memorable stay. Wombs for rent!

Er, to whoever said why are they called boxes, meaning wombs - I do not believe that it is the womb being referred to - I believe it is the vagina...which is ALSO not cubical!

Does anyone remember the womb chair - of the sixties or seventies, I believe.

Well, now I want one...

That Inn sounds good - and horseshoe nails are very attractive, in my view - sort of Nordic looking...

Well, that's what a bathroom is for. And you get all the gurgly water sounds too.

Delightful tale, Blatham, delightful.

I'm not at all sure, however, that the problem is straight lines (which, in the larger, cosmos-oriented, scheme of things are an impossibility, anyway). Msolga, I think, has hit the 10-penny dab-snack on the noggin in suggesting that it is the 'enclosure' aspect of cubicles which threatens one. The claustrophobic personality will, perforce, be nauseated by the prospect.

But, since your post implies that persons of the feminine persuasion are more apt to resist such (seemingly) straight-line enclosures than males, let me suggest this. Perhaps the straight lines have nothing to do with it. Men, however, are always trying to crawl back into the womb, so a cubicle might well serve as a substitute pro tem.

Let me say right off that I've tried a number of the substitutes and have found them all wanting.

Secondly, as a man of small town Canadian Mennonite upbringing, I am measurably more humble than the next person and so, receive contests to any thesis I might advance with grace, good humor, and an eager ear. Until the arguer turns his back.

I have a mennonite icing recipe that is divine. Got any mennonite recipies handy you could cut and paste for me?

I thought Mennonites were savoury?

And bunnies would be tart?

Which reminds me, I have a lovely Shaker Lemon Pie recipe if anyone is interested. What was up with the Shakers anyway? Odd lot they were.

I'm the wrong fellow to ask. I eat tv dinners, sucking them frozen.

But you'll find no better mennonite speciality than Roll Kucken (or rollkucken or crullers)...to be eaten with watermelon

1/2 thick cream
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
2-3 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder

Roll out the dough and cut into strips. Nick the centres of the strips
to prevent them from puffing up too much. Deep fry in shortening (or lard
-- the traditional way -- if you have the guts). Eat with honey and/or
watermelon (arbuse).

The dough should be quite soft adding too much flour makes them tough.

That's from my mommie's cookbook where I've just found (no kidding) a receipe for something called 'ammonia kucken'. Perhaps what remains uneaten can be used on the windows.
