My least favourite is backstitch on counted cross-stitch --- unless it
is really needed
otherwise satin stitch as I can never get it looking nice

OT - I would LOVE back to school again. My just-finished high school
baby has got booked on a driving charge and I have to take him to
COURT on Tuesday. When do children stop giving you grief?

I was fined seven shillings and sixpence (about 75 US cents) for failing
to stop at a halt sign whilst riding my push bike. This was in 1954 when
I was 11 years old - I had to include this offence on every "security"
form that I had to complete during my time in the RAF (1959-73) and the
Civil Service (1973-2003). On one occasion I forgot to do so and had to
go to HQ and explain why I had forgotten!
However, that was the one and only offence (civil or criminal) that I
was ever charged with and the subsequent fifty three years have been
"crime free" g

Oh hugs dear! and after you slap him upside the head for me, think about
anything upstanding he did in HS - lettered in a sport, honor roll, Eagle
Scout - and bring proof to court to show he's normally a "good kid". I got
that tip from my neighbor - both of hers tend to drive way to fast, but the
judges gave them a break the first time around.

They don't. My cousin has two adult children who give her constant
grief, but she can't complain to anyone but me, because she and her
youngest have had to move in with her parents again herself, giving them
grief in their retirement years.

Annette,

If it is any encouragement to you, my son got picked up on a DWI on
the Navy Base at age 17! His father had died a few months before, and
he graduated from HS at 17 and a half. He was waiting to be 18 and to
get in the Navy when this all happened. Since it was on Base, it was a
Federal offense.

Fotunately the judge was very fair, and sentenced Mike to 30 hours of
community service, ( he painted the police station and it kept him out
of mischief), and because he wasn't yet 18 he was told that if he kept
a perfect record for the rest of the year, the records as a minor
would be sealed, or expunged, when he was 18. It all turned out well,;
he is now 42 years old, and has completed 24 years in service at this
point. He will retire in a couple of years, and to my knowledge has
never been in trouble again (but what does a Mom know?).

My mother is learning a lot she didn't know from talking to my friends
who figure that (a) statute of limitations has expired, (b) I'm 3000
miles away from her wrath.

As Billy Connolly (Scottish comedian) said "Before you judge a man, walk
a mile in his shoes. Later, who cares? He's a mile away and you have his
shoes!"

My least favorite is a stitch - clipped turkey work; 'cause it's a "turkey
to work!" Also no-count cross-stitch - to me it's "no-account", and plain
nasty to work with. Thanks for the question!

Just needed ONE more new topic to push the MI5 persecution guys off
the page, so here it is.

Question for the day: What is your LEAST favorite needlework
technique?
