@MartiMo : Did you know, Corinthian leather is just a fancy name for leather made from horse hide? Seems Corinthian makes it sound more, special, AND people don't usually know what they are getting.
If i ever let my husband go with me for groceries and I had to keep telling him to please put things back we would sound like a mother teaching her child how to shop... not nice in public I suppose
@susieq : yes ma'am I did actually. We can thank Ricardo Montalban for that whole ruse. Lol. I also know that no nauga were killed for the 60's naugahyde "divan ensembles". Ours had horses sewn in.
Just like, "man made leather" sells better than plastic, or vinyl. Same stuff, just a fancier name. Calling it all leather, be it cow or horse, probably would have sold just as well. If you tried to sell "horse hide" shoes, belts, or purses, I am sure there would be issues.
When we brought our daughter home from the hospital, not even a day old, I sent new daddy to the store. It was crazy looking back but as the mom of an adopted baby I had bad feelings about preparing for her. Of course the nursery was all ready but I didn't allow a baby shower and had just a few onesies. I just simply did not want to jinx things. So anyway, with list in hand off he goes. I don't even remember if it was a text beeper in 1992 or what. He did have a phone in his 18 wheeler so it could have been a cell. I could almost plot his course at the old Kroger in Pearland. I heard from him in about each item on the list. Lol. Poor guy wanted everything to be right. I should have gone but after having to leave her overnight and going back to pick her up, was a long night. I had her in my arms and I wasn't about to put her down. FYI, we had to stop at a Mervyn's in Pasadena near the hospital for more onesies. First thing she did was pee on Daddy. We swore she was a genius, what one year old child could tap their feet to "Tall Tall Trees" by Alan Jackson. ❤️
