So in honor of them, we present the original spinsters!

      A "creeper" is a mechanics tool that he uses to repair your vehicles. Who turned THAT into something dirty?

      spinning was actually the responsibility of the single sister. ergo "spinster". (it's one of the 10 things i retained from a textile science class last semester, haha)

      I used to be able to read these lists occasionally, but now can't at all.

    Tell us what you're thinking...
