Reni

I love that crocheted scarf- so cute!!

I don't know how to crochet I am on the Ravelry waiting list.....poppydawn sent me over to that site. I am pretty sure she is on it.

i am tempted by those Latvian mittens......I go to school with a woman from Latvia, who is a skilled knitter, maybe she has some pointers

ya know - I am embarrassed to say that I don't know how to make mittens ....... .....but I think it is time to learn.......I will see what I can find as far as a simple mitten pattern with fair isle work..... what two colors do you like? thanks again for the nice comments

those were legwarmers dear.....and thank you! if you want a pair.....PM me and we can talk color scheme....some people aren't so keen on them as they are SOOOO 80's

thanks for this Christy! I have it bookmarked now!

*ahem* you mean Reni - I made that crock pot of vegetarian chili goodness

it sure tasted good though!

I am so sorry to hear your story darkstar.....that is a tragic.

I am assuming you are doing "a bit" and being sarcastic - but I was speaking for myself. I am quite content with the rabbit ears - except they don't pick up PBS well and I love the show Frontline. I watch it online these days. I loved having cable. I love watching political talking heads, mucho baseball, even some VH-1 reality shows. I was hesitant to cancel it, but we did because of budget issues. We signed on for a year at a dirt cheap rate and canceled when it was almost tripled. I am surprised at how much I like not having it. That's all I was saying.

I tried Graham's safety razor on my legs last night - I have never had such ease shaving my legs. I am sold.

Bush's Disastrous Dollar Policy

I walk/or ride the bus past them almost everyday......they are a treasure. However, my favorite Chicago building is the Hancock Building - no idea why - and after a number of years of wanting to, I finally had lunch at the top of it the other day! It was fantastic. I had table next to a window facing north, so I had a view of the lake and the city. The time of day was perfect as well, as the sun cast a great shadow of the building onto the lake.

yeah, once you sign on the dotted line, you are pretty much stuck. I really despise these long term contracts. One year I understand - but 18-24 months? Pretty silly. Especially since the tech market is constantly changing and upgrading, and making what you sign for today a lot cheaper in a year.....this is, of course, why they rope you in. blah. I am really happy we got rid of our cable......I can honestly say the quality of my home life has improved.

you signed a contract? good luck.

it's amazing what one will do when they have milk crates for chairs

I have to say that since Graham has started using the old fashioned safety razors, his face has never been smoother and softer. Oh and that soap smells SO GOOD!

it's amazing what one will do when one is hungry.....though beware of things with mayo in dumpsters. In other words, don't risk it......bad bad things can happen.

yeah, pretty much.

I particularly like the part in the article where he says homelessness is virtually over. I wonder if the woman I pass every morning, sleeping on the sidewalk, is aware of this yet. She should watch more Fox News.

don't worry - everything's okay - here, have a cookie - don't listen to this thread - they hate America Here's the "real" scoop http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,309320,00.html
