Decisions...decisions! Advice needed (DO NOT OPEN!!)

I'll bring the woodchipper and chainsaw!! Or we can just do it a la Dexter (one of my favorite shows - isn't that awful?! LOL!) and dump the bodies overboard in hefty bags. I'd say we could start our new career with our new resident bozo, but I ain't touchin' him - not even with the thickest rubber gloves. *puts nice stereotypical quilter/mother of two mask back on!!* Can't quite get into Dexter - on Showtime, anyway. I haven't read the books.....yet. I was thinking more along the lines of Miss Melville -- the books by Evelyn E. Smith. -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |

We did do that, didn't we? Seventeen Magazine was telling us that we needed to meet Mr. Right and do the June Cleaver thing. Ha! What a crock that was. But the youngsters had best be sure to exercise those rights we fought to get, or they'll be taken away again. You've got that right. Far to many want to sit on their butts and complain and not bother to protect the rights they have. Too many want to believe that it's my gov, right or wrong so I have to go along . Too many want someone to *protect* them and tell them what to do. Too many have be come so afraid of what's out there that they believe everything they are told by the gov. I better stop now before I get really political. J |

No, I figured I just wasn't sufficiently clear. I am 69 years old, can drive competitively though I rarely do, not having a red light and siren anymore, and do like the current music scene. Doesn't hurt to have one kid who is a punk rocker, playing in several bands. Not that I like his brand of punk which I believe is called "thrash" - but there's lots of really good stuff out there. I don't quilt because it's too finicky for me - I think of meself as a "big picture" person. ;-) But I do wear Birks and have a couple of shawls that I wear, especially at night on the ole computer. One I made when learning to use my knitting machine, one a friend made for me. I don't wear it, but I've also got one that's 40 years old that will go through a wedding ring - beautiful thing it is. I want a paisley, and if one ever crosses my path..... There's little left in the world to shock me, I'm afraid. Disgust, yes. Turn me off, yes. Make me angry even, if there's an unwilling participant or abuser of authority. If I live long enough, I think I'll become an assassin. Who would suspect an 90-year-old woman? The thing that many *younger people* don't realize is that us little old ladies sewing our quilts are the ones changed the world for them. We are the original, hippies, rockers, bra burners, anti war, folk singing, Woodstock people. As you said there's little out there that shocks us anymore. There's plenty that just plain annoys the hell out of me, makes me angry and I frequently would just like to pull someone's britches down and give them a good old smack on the nether region, but that's about it. J I spent some of my formative years associating with naval ratings' kids, many more knocking about with the RAF. Kinda knocks the corners off yer prejudices, that does! As does 20 years (on and off!) of teaching school refuznik lads in their grubby teens... I seem to have acquired a rather larger profane vocabulary than most kids I've come across! And when yer MUM likes the Beatles White album and yer 13 YO kid likes both Queen and jaz, it keeps your ears alive! I decided that burning bras was a waste of money and just didn't buy them for several years! I too can be saddened, enraged, and irritated to the point of spitting teeth, but am rarely shocked by the awfulness of mankind. On the other hand, I am frequently astonished and delighted by the generosity of spirit in the sewing world, and the wisdom of most kids!
