But somehow, the idea leaves me...well, let's just say there's a reason I recoiled in horror when my mom suggested medical school all those years ago. I think I'll stick with sopping my tears up with a tissue and throwing it away. <br /><br />Yeah, I'm a wimp that way.C.J.

And those bottles are incredible and make for a great item to collect.<br /><br />The Victorians were certainly fond of their traditions of high sentimentality. Collecting hair for lockets or framing, for example.<br /><br />Queen Victoria herself took sentimentality associated with mourning into a whole new level.<br Debra E.
