I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

There is understaffed I guess but even 10 mins a night or picking up large things would make a difference.

Yes, that would be a worthy 10 minutes. I hate walking into stores where it is clear that cleanliness is viewed as optional.

I got my discussion question done! Now a bit of chainmaille and then sleep.

chainmaille

I've wondered about the spelling for a while. Why not "chainmail"? I know nothing about the craft, so maybe it's a really obvious answer, but I have no idea.

Why not "chainmail"?

I've seen it in various sources as chainmail far longer than I've seen chainmaille. I haven't seen any historical justification for "maille", but that may just be something I missed, so I'm not sure if my annoyance with the spelling is justified or just Old Fuddy-Duddy Medieval Recreationist Snobbery (get off my battlefield, she grumbled, shaking her longbow)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've never seen "-maille". I wasn't sure what it meant!

I've seen it both ways. The vendor I purchase rings from uses "maille" so that is what ends up coming out when I type it.

If it's fancy, it should be called chainmaille.

Am I weird? I won't be offended, I really want to know.

I've seen "chainmaille" a lot, but I was always too intimidated to ask, because I thought there was an obvious reason that I was missing.

If it helps the conversation, the pieces I'm working on aren't classic chainmail related. They are pretties.

There is what I was told a Japanese style of chain mail that is larger links joined at right angles with small lengths of fine chain. It's very pretty. Hubby taught me how to make it. I should see if the arthritis in my hands will let me take it up again. He loved making chain mail.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

A friend who worked at an armor museum said you should never use the word chain before mail. I'm not sure how he said mail.
