Clearly I’ve never occupied it as I have a phobia about being on the aisle - in movie theaters and airplanes - in the highly likely event I'll need to use the powder room. Generally, if I’m on the aisle I won’t need to get up, however, if I’m NOT on the aisle I will need to get up at least three times and cause myself anxiety fits about climbing over others to get out.

My Dad always got Mother and me a corsage. Thanks for sharing so many interesting things! I also appreciate your kind comment on my blog a few days ago.
