And I had a bookstrap, so they can't be that old-fashioned. And my mother just stopped sitting on the windowsill to wash windows a couple of years ago. She wore those foam tichels for years.

I had a music teacher who had one of those that held five pieces of chalk, so she could write musical notes on the blackboard "music sheet" she created.... I really don't remember the machberes one, though ...maybe it's just getting late! Wink

Say, I'll bet the machberes ones were the music ones and the teachers just skipped every other holder to create machberes lines. Ve-e-r-r-ry clever!
