    Joann's - what am I doing wrong ?

    Rayon is not made from oil or plastic. It is made from pine trees. There are some chemicals used in processing so I guess that you could call it a semi-synthetic.

    Chopped Flintlocks. How early?

    My mother who died about 10 years ago at age 87, never ate anything in her life that contained any tomato products as she believed that tomatoes were poison. She was born and raised here in North Carolina.
