Two hours until the first results from CT counties

[cali]

come. I'm on tenterhooks (whatever they are).

1. They're used to stretch newly woven woolen cloth

This is a tenterhook.



You wash the wool after you weave it, then stretch it out into one of these 'tenterhooks' (ie., frames).

2. Thank you so much

for that fascinating bit of trivia, and the photo. (love the photo)

4. I'm staying occupied by googling obscure bits of trivia

...until the results start coming in.

6. That looks like the curtain stretchers my mother used to use. Are there

little nail points sticking out that the cloth is stretched on? The curtain stretcher was of course much smaller. It folded up so it could be stored.

9. Yes, I believe there are little spikes and 'hooks' on the edges

Now, the question of how that came to mean 'anxious' -- I have no clue.

3. I'm going to vacuum or something.

I need something to keep me occupied. ;)

5. LOL

Time to take the dogs out for a romp. Work off some nervous energy for half an hour or so.

7. I'm going to run out to buy some champangne

The only question now is whether I'll be drinking it out of :party: or :cry:.
