Fingers, toes, legs, eyebrows.... DH got a call back from a company about a job. Phone interview went well. Job entails no lifting, but lots of computer and telephone stuff. He has a face to face interview tommorow morning. Full time, within walking distance! If he gets this I will take up...

How I hate to be the bearer of such devastating news. Here's what I received from our Bonnie NJ - Hi Polly, I wanted to let you know that I will only be sending one quilt for the babies in Mississippi. I will save the address and send one when I can. My son decided that he no longer wanted...

Hi, Crystal, your mail arrived today. Thank you. Happy Holidays! Nancycog in MD

Anyone have one? If you do, which piece of Drunkards Path goes on top...the "pie" or the "crust?" I always put the larger piece on top when easing a curve the conventional way. TIA Nancycog in MD

Even though it is not sewing related this is entirely too good to keep to myself. Besides, a fair few people here have other craft interests, are artists, or buy such things for their children. So I mentioned before that the easel I ordered for Ash's birthday arrived damaged. It appeared to be...

Okay. We have had about 5 inches of rain here at my house in last 24 hours. Snow level is down to 1000' and some was reported at 700'. More rain and thunderstorms coming in tomorrow through next Tues or Wed.The roads are all closed in the area where my quilt retreat was last weekend. Remember this...

Well, we got through that one. Dad is home although he is still rather weak; unable to walk far without oxygen and using a walker but he did beat the infection. He has nursing coming in every other day for the next ten to twelve weeks. I'm trying to convince him and DM that he really should have...

Well, it came to the point where dad needed a trach. So that happened Sat morning and they also put a feeding tube into his stomach. Doctor said this is being done for the long haul. (hard to hear that coming directly from a doctor rather than from mom) The surgery went well and he was put into ICU...

Well I have spent two weeks away from my parents and needless to say it is driving me bonkers. I had to return home to go back to work. The vent tube was removed on Thursday and dad is totally breathing on his own. The stomach tube is still in place as well as the trach itself. Yesterday my mom got...

Can a Danish speaker translate this for me -- Hvordan har du det? And tell me a good reply for it? This will help my social life a LOT and I'd be happy to explain it all to the Danish speaker who helps me :-D Please reply to anne DOT rudolph AT sbcglobal DOT net by replacing the obvious.

Our daughter and her baby are leaving the Sacramento CA area in the morning to drive north to help our other daughter with child care so she can take a class to get her CNA. Say a prayer that the storms break ahead of her so they arrive safely. -- Mary (Idaho to Oregon via...

Got an email today from my DD in California. The baby is still breech so a c-section has been scheduled for early morning Oct 11. I'll be going down to be with her on Oct 3 (north of Sacramento and south of Olivehurst) and stay for about 3...

Well the police have not caught the guy that hit her. Which makes me think that they just haven't bothered. They have the color, and type of vehicle, having the mirror should give them a limited selection of makes, and she caught enough of a glimpse of the plate to know that it was one of the...

Often there is a way to set filters in your newsreader program. I use Mozilla Thunderbird but I'm pretty sure OE and others do this too. In Thunderbird go to the "Message" menu and select "Create filter from message". You can have everything with "anon" and/or "anonymous" sent directly to the...

I am going to start things I may never finish. Just for the fun of it. I am going to try things I probably can't do. And I may act like a frog and eat what bugs me. Join me? Polly

What do I know? I thought this handsome, noble beauty should be decorated with a tailored, dignified red velvet bow. Wrong. The bow looked insipid and inadequate. The 2nd bow is a big, wild red velvet frou-frou lined with gold and quite jazzy. Ah. Just right. It turns out that the 8-point buck...

I caught a bit on TV today about deterring deer from eating flowers/gardens. The "expert" was the state horticulturist from Maryland.. I think he said he beat 4 eggs in 1 gallon of water and sprayed around the plants and found the deer stayed away. Wish I knew the name of the show. But maybe...
