I despise ladies who hate women almost as much as male antiabortionists.

I would wish extinction on both breeds.

but I'd have made an effort for that occasion.

Then I'd overdye it that night in a color I liked.

for knitting and weaving. In addition, I've always lived out of thrift shops to afford to buy the wool to spin my own yarn...

Somebody else's pea soup colored wool sweater or orange jeans were no problem, just throw them into a dyepot.
