You can oil it again. A few drops of mineral oil in a sink of water . . . squeeze through until evenly distributed. If it's a delicate woolen, so that you don't want it to be "oily," mix a few drops of mineral oil in with the shampoo and water. As you wash the garment, it will restore the oils.

Sheep jokes? Sheep jokes?

What could there be about sheep to joke about? Insult to injury . . . first you threaten to eat me and then you threaten me with . . . jokes!

The indignity of it all . . . sniff. :cry:

Sigh. Well, Joseph, I suppose if there were anything to joke about, you'd know all about it, being as how you're in the veterinary industry. First-hand experience, no doubt.

I know a few sheep jokes, but they're all derogatory to Aggies (Texas A&M) and not fit for a family forum. :wink:

Over here they get told about the Principality just to the west of England. Which reminds me, where is Perrins57 all of a sudden? Seems to have lost interest in this thread for some reason. :poke:

light green = dron, light purple = parn, light blue = flad, and light yellow = fren. I thought everybody knew that.

Any more things you want a sound for?

Pink is more a tint of red than it is just light red. You don't get pink by just decreasing the amount of red, but by adding white, hence, a "tint.' Pink isn't light red, therefore. Not really. I don't think.

The corresponding tint of purple is lavender. The tint of blue is baby blue. The tint of yellow is butter (or baby yellow) The tint of green is . . . umm . . . celery, mint (although it pains me to use that word), or baby green.
