all i can say is that anybody who whinges on about abortion being murder better not have EVER voted for anyone who is for the death penalty. EVER. also i refuse to use the term pro-life as it is a huge load of horse shit.

There are times when I feel like I’m taking anti-crazy medication when I’M NOT CRAZY, THINGS JUST SUCK. The recent Komen stuff is a perfect example.

Comment on Spats Pattern by Jeri

Hello! I’ve made several pairs of split toe spats from your patterns. I’m no seamstress but these were so easy to make! I made a pair for myself, then modified them for my husband. You mentioned you had a pattern for rounded toe spats, not the split toe. Did you ever do this? I really want a pair of rounded toe!
Thank you!

Do you ever go to China Beach? That was my favorite beach in SF. One of the novels I’m working on has a key scene there.

I really need to go to therapy but I don’t have health care and can’t afford it. Also, the last time I went to a therapist she told me I probably didn’t really have depression or anxiety at all and that all my problems could be fixed with vitamin B12. Fuck that shit.

Resolutions are for any time you want to make them.

Comment on In which I consider deleting my Google+ account by Angelina

I hate G+. Every time I’ve tried to interact there I get all panicky and then I get all angry because it’s not linear in the same way FB is. Plus no one is talking about anything I’m interested in over there. They’re all doing it on FB. So I have abandoned G+. I also hate twitter. My universe has become a kinder and happier place since I just decided that I’m not obligated to take part in any social media that makes me anxious, no matter how much other people love it. I love FB because I live in a small town with very few people I can relate to in it – on fb I can chat with people I understand and see what they’re up to. I think of fb as a virtual garden fence that you can lean over to talk with your neighbors as they pass by. I also really love Pinterest.

My grandson is 10 years old and still has his blanket. Does you know of where I can buy one for my granddaughter?
Are they hard to make?

Minnie
Thank you so much for making a spats pattern and instructions freely available. I am most appreciative that you are willing to share it! I am excited about experimenting with spats!
Thanks!!

Or, you know, the next George Lucas. The one that used all those ’30s/’50s serials, invented groundbreaking special effects, invented the Hollywood blockbuster, and *didn’t* descend into craptastical irrelevance just to make another billion or so.

I want to make a garden, but I’d like to do it in raised beds, somehow, and not in the ground. Where we live is just soooo much limestone that getting shit to grow well just sucks.

You need a rock with fossils in it. Jack was unbelievably cute pretending to study specimens with a fakey microscope (a short stick). “I believe this is the bwain on a bwontasaurus.” !!!!!

Old notebooks are full of gold. Or space gold, as the case may be.

You may have a novel in there somewhere, or at the very least, a fun activity for a rainy day. Put the lists in different hats, pull one from each hat and write away!

Here’s a suggestion.

Have a smaller tree and ONLY use ‘cute, kid made ornaments’.

And by smaller tree, I mean MUCH smaller.

I run my dishwasher every night before I go to bed no matter how much is in it. One spoon? Hit the Start button. I can’t say that my kitchen is clean all day but it is every night. I never did this before I moved to roachlandia.

Or a TADS game, but I think it’s slightly more likely to be a MUD area.
