I cant call cause i dont have a phone so i hope you are reading these on the air..... cause a big fad in the 1920s was a fascination with Egypt after the discovery of King Tut's Tomb. or would that be a trend?
anyways if you read and mention this then i write more and you can reach your comment goal!

My dad wore shirts with detachable collars. He was a blue collar worker and wore detachable collars because the collars got dirty and wore out first, so he just bought new collars, which were cheaper than buying a whole new shirt.

I drank absinthe once. It cost me £6 British pounds. It was so strong by the time I'd drunk it I was incapable of telling whether I was getting an alcohol buzz or a wormwood drug buzz from it. I've never drunk it again. You can also buy absinthe in Amsterdam , together with other more potent substances, which I haven't tried.
