A few questions.

Why is it no one says "Write me" any more? Before we had email, I never once recall someone saying, "Mail me." You would ask people to write you letters while you were away. But now, even though the method of delivery has changed, we no longer say "Write me." We don't even say, "Type me," though we do say "Text me" which falls in line with "email me" and really both should be "type me." These things annoy me.

What happened to ring around the collar? I recall this was a major issue back in the 80's given the number of Era ads centered on this hideous affliction. And now, all I see are strikingly-uniform stains placed in convenient for TV but hardly apt to happen in real life locations. Can't remember the last time I had a circular grass stain on my Henley. Can't we show stray pen marks on pants, mustard stains in the center of the chest, or dirt/salts splatter on the hems of pants? And, unrelated to this, why is it that despite the number of large-breasted women on TV, I very rarely see any of them get up from eating a meal and wipe off the crumbs on the self? And if you get the joke, I bet I can guess your cup size -- Rock on, sister.

I hate ironing. And this post is an example of ironing procrastination.

Please type me your questions.
