See that table and chairs? There is a leaf and there are 6 chairs. #SolidOak. We bought them back in the late 1900s. 😂 1991. In #BelAirMD. There was a dinette store next to a liquor store on "business" Rt 1. Bought them around our anniversary. They've seen some things since then. Some good. A lot of not good. They've held up thru 7 dogs, 3 cats, 2 kids, and 2 assholes (me and the HuzBob). Just as sturdy as the day we bought them. >>>
@GeezerWench Don't feel too sad...it's merely the *name* that stopped existing...the land and people are still there 😃
@Avidspark True, but changing the name means they were taken over.
Your name is a part of you. Others can force you to change your name, or you can choose to change it. Choosing to change it would have been better. I know a few folks who have changed their name. Not counting women who married and changed it, because that's been so ingrained in us, we barely even thought about it. Things are slowly changing.
>>> The chairs were made in #Yugoslavia, which doesn't exist anymore. Hasn’t since 1992.
That struck me as kind of sad.
