Sorry jacon4, had to have fun with you because if you look at your "Subject section" you put Re: Pilgim Painted Box.  That is why I asked what was "pilgim".  You don't usually let that slip!  Guess you were way tooooooo excited about this boxed beauty!

??????? Am TOTALLY not following you, it's a pilgrim era wood box that is painted  which i shortened to "pilgrim painted box". Have you fallen off your tree stump down there and injured yourself? BAM! or maybe i should have titled "painted pilgrim box"??????
Mart, get your old self over and check on her, i think there has a a stump accident!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOO, pilgrim refers to a style, era or date of American furniture, it's like saying chippendale or queen anne, hello? Have you been stump hopping down there too? Tripped and broke your head or something? What have you old women been doin down there?

OK, show of hands, who that has been reading this post doesn't understand that "pilgrim" refers to a style or date in the american furniture vernacular/language?

Dang, I'd hate to think i have been talking about pilgrim furniture in here since Sept 26 2007 and no one knew what the hell i was talkin about! I have been talking to myself all these many years?

I always understood the word to either refer to the era and place  (17th century New England) or the people themselves.

 (17th century New England)

Or the southland too, it was the first english settlement at jamestown in 1609, trouble is, from war & climate not near as much pilgrim furniture survives from the south.

See there! ghopper knew EXACTLY what i was referring too! I say there has been a HORRIBLE stump incident in Texas!

I totally understand PILGRIM Box....but look at the SUBJECT LINE you posted....it says Pilgim Box - You are missing your "r"!!!!!!! Now, am I seeing something you fellas aren't or are your brains completing the word for you? 

We actually find our stumps quite comfy and creative here!  Amazing what creative folks do with stumps!

In my case yes, my brain was filling in the "r."  But it looks like the subject header is still wrong.

Yeah, it's corrected now on my first post but not all the way through thread! Typical stump jumper software! barely works on a good day and is rather antique in internet terms!

And then the other stump resident chimes in about someone named pilgrim that painted it! :P

Ahem...you are off your game today...jacon4!  At 1,285 posts on here....you never noticed?  On FORUM MAIN PAGE and when you post a reply...

It's okay.  Sometimes slowing down and sitting on a stump relaxing...relaxing helps! 

I just updated all the headings....now time to go sit and relax....
