We've (I've) always done it this way

I have a sister in law who still uses a basic, no features, cell phone. Won't even consider getting an iphone or other "smart" phone. She says she does not want a camera on the phone and we say you don't have to use it. She says she doesn't like this feature or that and we say you don't have to use them. She might consider an Apple watch but gets upset when we say you need an iphone to use most of the watch's features. And if we really want to set her off just mention how much Apple toys cost! End of discussion.

I can understand that. Why would she want to pay for something she doesn't want?

I didn't know there were numerous different kinds.

Oh, yeah, there's wool and then there's wool.

There's an especially super fine kind of wool that is woven only from the chin hair of an endangered goat in the Himalayas, I think.

No, I'm not making this up.

Apparently a shawl made of this wool can be pulled through a wedding ring. The shawls cost thousands of dollars and this wool is illegal to import to the U.S.

The locals collect the wool from bushes where the goat has scratched himself (at least they don't hold him down and shave him.....)
