It can be hard to pull tights up, particularly the third or fourth
pair, so I sit on the bed to put on my tights, and if they get stuck,
I roll onto my back with my feet in the air and pull the tights
*down*.
I have recently discovered that this trick also works for putting
socks on without getting sunscreen on one's knickerbockers.
Perhaps I will learn to put socks on *before* putting on my knickers.

(:-) You are posting to a site that is read by many different people
in many different countries and "knickers" has a very different
meaning in, oh say, England then it does in the U.S. (:-)

Don't keep us in suspense, John. Can it be delicately conveyed here on Usenet?

On the other side of the pond, "knickers" are women's underwear.
Which is why I said "knickerbockers" the first time 'round.
I mostly hang out on sewing groups where folks are mostly accustomed
to differng garment names.
Which reminds me that I've been meaning to ask on the English-usage
group, "If 'pudding' is dessert and 'custard' is pudding, what is
custard called?"
But I can no longer post there because an hour has been taken out of
my Usenet time, and A.E.U. is a *very* busy group. (Or is that
A.U.E.? I can never keep those two straight.)

basically, with eggs, although milk might be added, while a pudding is
made, basically, with milk, although eggs may be added.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch square
baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, boiling
water, vanilla, and butter. Pour into prepared baking dish. In a clean
bowl, mix together white sugar, flour, milk, baking powder, nuts, and raisins. Drop by spoonfuls on top of the mixture in the baking dish.

That thing made, basically, with milk is, I think, in the UK called "blancmange".

That was what we called the pudding made in seventh-grade cooking
class. Pudding stripped to essentials, to teach basic skills.
I don't remember much about the class except that one of the girls
thought that "cream the butter and sugar together" meant dump the milk
in. Since it was a very small school, class met in the same kitchen
used to prepare our lunches.
