Library cryptid disguised as a Director. historian, textile artist, craft dabbler. Go read a book - you really need to do so. Read a lot of books - learn something outside of your confirmation bias. The crows demand it. And go outside.

Back when it was actually affordable. When fabric in general was affordable.
And I will add - don't just go there, do research. Read things.
/2 Cheesecloth is now $6 for a package of cheesecloth that you must double or triple to work effectively. It says 4 square yards, but really? Maybe a yard to make it useable for straining. Good thing I'm only making dollhouse ghosts with it.
Mild rant about cheesecloth. I was brought up that you used cheesecloth to strain all kinds of food things. You washed it out by hand and reused it. You could buy it by the yard. I stopped using it for a 100% cotton towel, because the quality went downhill. I needed some for a project, and now?
God morning! Who wants an egg salad sandwich? I use Miracle Whip, so it's spicy 😂😜. Or do you wish to hold out for the custards with cinnamon on top, or some cookies?
Right?
Dragon Con A reason to go to cons is to see things like this.
LMAO!

Which is in itself truly awesome. I think Pritzker should go an activate the state National Guard - against any other National Guard brought in from other states. And Pritzker should make it a 30+ day deployment, so they get all their benefits. But that's just asking for more trouble potentially.
Well hell yeah - totally would trust Dr. Johnny Fever!
If it could, we might all be in a better place right now.
I see - being aware of reality is fearmongering. But denial of it is better? Just be silent and don't do or say anything. Got it.
A very cool concept that more and more suburban and urban areas are picking up - and it is awesome. Bikebusworld.org
Doctors I trust more than JFK Jr.
Interesting. Not what I learned studying older world history, or studying Rocky Mountain/Mining history, but new info always surfaces. After all, we always learned that the French colonies in N.America were thriving, and that has since been quite disproven. I'll look it over.
Not really meant to be funny - they did not prosecute the guy who threw the sandwich at the ICE agent. The real part of the message it to stop acting like bad things can't happen because you don't want them to - that's not today's reality. There is no way to bluff our way through all this.
OKie Dokie. Thank you for stopping.
Correct that - 45,000. I left off a zero.
The Rosegarden CLUB? He turned the People's House into a private CLUB? He literally privatized a public good. He stole our house. Do you understand? This is no different than if he seized the Grand Canyon & put it behind a velvet rope, for members only. He's a fucking thief & a vandal to boot.
/2 Just like being Chicken Little is also unrealistic - he's not going to nuke one of the biggest commercial centers in the country. Being informed and in the middle is the smarter place. And knowing if you must throw something, throw sandwiches - already proven they can't convict for that. ;)
Reality is reality. Is it likely to happen? NO. Is Trump bluffing and blustering? Likely - otherwise, he would have already acted - look how fast they did elsewhere. But to ignore that it HAS happened within most of our lifetimes is to be acting like it's all unicorns and cotton candy.
Are you able to prove that? Seriously asking. If you can, I'll look at it. Otherwise, it's conjecture.
Sure is. There ere 45,00 different denominations of Christianity in the world and when people post it on billboards, and advertise it to get people to attend their church, to buy their bibles and other merch, to hand over money (tithes) for faith- it's 100% a brand that you are buying.
Just a few more weeks, and the shit is going to hit the fan for sure. Black Friday this year may have a whole new meaning. We already made an agreement as a family to make it a minimal Christmas. We get to all hang together this year, and that's best anyway.
Immigrants are a social good, anti-immigrant propaganda is basically all lies, and any approach to the "problem" that doesn't start form those two points is worthless
Poop. It was a good story and would have been a good action.
It very much depends on which "Brand" of Christianity you aspire to. Some do it as infants, and yes, historically, early death is why they did it for infants. Confirmation (and the baptism) in a variety of "brands" is the welcoming into the church as a person who has been educated in the faith.
Man, I hate that when its not clear. Mine was at least a clear break- totally broke off the ball of my elbow. What mostly bothers me now is the scar as it goes through another round of "healing". I hope they can figure it out soon - or it just heals up and goes away for you.
His most cogent posts are. HIs most controversial posts are -the ones that aren't alphabet soup.
If you're going to fear monger, at least cite more likely scenarios, like the 1985 MOVE bombing in Philadelphia.
Pritzker should mobilize his national guard now and place them at entrances to the city. Protect the city now.
Oh damn - sympathies. I had to have surgery on my broken dominant arm years ago, and it still acts up - so I fully fully understand. I hope this all helps!
Lots won't baptize until the person is old enough to understand what it's about. Infant baptism is a hold over from when so many died before their first birthday, and people didn't want their child to live forever in purgatory.
Another good book to buy and have in your home library. 📚💙
Trains are both mentally and in reality the easiest escape route. The major stations are in city centers. There’s no security. If you live close enough and time it right, you can be on a train heading out within 30 minutes. Unless Trump wants to keep us. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/last...
What happened?
Holy moly - was a ball of crap this. This isn't about keeping kids safe in the least. It's borderline scammers trying to cash in on the prevalent theme.
Nice list!
If you can't read for comprehension, I'm not the person to educate you. It was a questioning of YOUR stance, not a declaration of my own. Others understood just fine.
Did she say it happy or confrontationally?
Looks like size and use mainly. Alpacas raised for their fleece, llamas as pack animals.
Stop posting comics about me!
And why not vice president? What about president? Why this one odd exception?

I can agree with that. In the meantime, it was NEVER your responsibility to not do stupid things once you were taught they were stupid? It was never on you to act in your own safety or that of your siblings? All the things you were taught - at home and in school - that kept you safe- useless?

Hey you know what would be a really good idea? if you ate some food. Make it something you like, add some protein if you can. It's 10 pm and I'm just eating dinner, so you can eat now too!
Your eyes must be brown.
I'm sorry - what can we do to help? I do empathize.

very cool.
Wow - do we drink for every platitude he just used? Does anyone else have alcohol poisoning now form doing so?
This sounds so awesome!
Stole Daughter's photo of tonight's moon - it's pink!
run away, termagant.
My apologies for earlier for the misunderstanding your use of the colloquialism of cool. Most of the time I see it or use it, it's actually meant the opposite of actually being cool.

How is teaching a kid- "Hey, don't touch a gun if you find one" teaching them how to kill??? You taught your kids not Don't play with matches, right? Did doing so suddenly make them arsonists??? Watch the video about what is really being taught. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIlr...
actually watch what will be taught, OK? www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIlr...
Not even close - you don't even know what the the class will be and automatically go for the most paranoid stance there is. Probably should get off the internet, get rid of your phone, go live totally off grid if worst case scenarios are all you accept as fact for everyone.
Yeah - one kid is automatically ALL kids. Great fallacy.
Cool story - and wholly irrelevant. This is NOT the gun safety TN school students will be getting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIlr...
Did you actually watch the fucking video?? I did. Did you watch this one? I did. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIlr... And I STILL support kids learning NOT to touch a gun when they found one, to NOT treat it as a toy.
Which is what will be taught.
what idiocy are you on? www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIlr...
I don't give a fuck your opinion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIlr...
I have had this happen when we lived in Colorado - we lived in an acoustical bowl, and could hear a violin being played 3/5s of a mile away the week a trunk line went out, and the peacock 1/4 a mile away, and guys yelling 1/4 a mile the other direction (which is how I broke my elbow- long story)
I'll add this: www.newschannel5.com/news/new-ten... and this, which talks about HOW it will be implemented www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIlr...
Very.
Source please.
I also pointed out that mnadatory gun laws are NOT happening the U.S. right now - if you paid half a second of attention, you would know this - so teaching gun safety IS the thing to do. I've said that over and over and over - and you still insist I said differently. Go away.
and this: which you clearly misread, but the person it was directed at did NOT.
so never let him go over to anyone's house, or into a park. Cause they can find guns there, even if you'd rather they didn't.
Ha at the jeans part. Thank you for the rest.
So by your logic, every teen or adult who has ever shot up a school learned how to do so while in school. They learned it from a class. What exact class is it that teaches someone to become school shooter??
Prove up said research.
Not in every school. And yes, it was often a state mandated class. Look it up.
Sarcasm doesn't translate to text very well. Yes those are the stats. And we both know that reducing the firearms isn't happening right now in the U.S. At All. The stats also show if children are not taught gun safety, they are more likely to view a gun as a toy.
OK then - so we are BOTH in favor of sex ed in schools and gun safety in schools, yes?
This is NOT the first time you have tried to discredit me by purposefully misreading what I say, on a variety of topics. Maybe block me if you cannot read what I say clearly - others are doing just fine understanding me Here's your stats- misread those too. everytownresearch.org/maps/notanac...
EVERYTHING I've said in this thread is that I am IN FAVOR of these classes. EVERY child should learn sex ed and contraception, EVERY child should learn gun safety. And when they are not taught it at home, they need to learn it somewhere - school YOU have misread me every step of the way.
Teaching a child that a gun is not a toy is war against the child? If you could not live with the idea that you accidentally shot someone because you didn't understand a gun was loaded, why would you want a child to live with that? Why is teaching them that guns are not toys so horrible?
How do you think this is related to school shooters?
And yet they have parents at home who leave guns sitting about without being locked up. This isn't about rural farm kids, who do learn gun safety at home. This is about every other kid who never is taught. Would you be able to live with it if you accidentally shot someone? why should a kid?
A whole lot less than what is going on right now. Do you honestly think this now means there will just be guns laying about in the schools??? everytownresearch.org/maps/notanac...
It's better than nothing at all. Which where we are at now.
Kids ARE out there accidentally shooting people, usually siblings, friends. Look at the facts. This has nothing to do with school shooters and everything to do with lazy ass parents who don't teach their kids that guns are not toys. everytownresearch.org/maps/notanac...
They've been trying all of that. Clearly not working - everytownresearch.org/maps/notanac... Federal law like that isn't going to pass under this regime. Some states do have that law. TN has a required course for hunters to get licensed. But that does nothing for the rest of the handguns.
OK - what I heard you say - "problems will still exist, so lets do nothing." Which would you rather - have a kid learn gun safety, or have them live the rest of their lives with the knowledge that they shot someone, maybe killed them, because they never learned that guns are not toys?
I didn't say it would - are you purposefully misreading? Go to Walmart - are there toy guns? Yes there are - from water guns to airsoft guns, and kids don't know the difference. The program would teach them the difference, and how, if they cannot tell, to leave it the fuck alone. OK now?
Good. But under this U.S. regime, gun laws are getting much more lax and not going away. And too many adults are stupid. I'd rather a kid learn about the guns and gun safety that live the rest of their life knowing they killed someone accidentally because no one taught them. See the reasoning?
