INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

on work computer,, can't do from here. Can you email it?

Spookie... WTH??? You mean did I send "something" to mean joe green? Or was it molly brown? Maybe M & M chocolates?

I bought a little 4-pak of "sex on the beach" shots! OMG they are so good! They are in these cute little divided plastic shot glasses.... And I drank a whole one, and am now drinking a white Russian! I have been working in the yard, and I am now "relaxing".... I haven't had a "DGAS" feeling in maybe 20 years.... Hah! You guys have any problems you want me to solve...????

Patty- glad you are home sister. Rest well in your own bed and with your people around you.

Hi Enerva! Just two sentences? Life is treating you ok?

JunieB, Enerva is another talented sister. She crochets lovely accessories. You, Enerva, Forward, Ms. Chevy(refurbished arts), Mags(drawing/painting) and Ms. Smaarty(quilt) should have joint venture for thecraft and art works. Then, you can hire Ms. Sas to manage your business. Good to hear that your white counts is up.

I had to look up DGAS. You are not working on the parking strip that you share with your chicken neighbor, are you?

Maybe I need some of whatever you are drinking so I can have the "DGAS" feeling. We received an automated phone call late last night from my DD1's high school informing parents that there was a bomb threat. The message (written in the restroom) read " The bomb will go off at 12:20. Be prepared." They had bomb sniffing dog and specialized law enforcement officers on campus today investigating. Then, about an hour and a half before school ended, the school received a phone call that the Student Service building will be targeted. Crazy!! Such a waste of time and resources.

JunieB. great job on the quilt, it is sweet, how Much time do you need on the long arm, I've never tried one. Too bad about the buses on the weekend. I am sorry to hear about your hip, hopefully the cortisone shot helps. Positive news on your counts

Lover how sad, does it scare your children?

I had my first knitting lesson yesterday I think I will need quite a few lessons to knit the simplest item.

Sas it always nice to have good company enjoy your visit.

lookforward, practice makes perfect! Do little projects. It will help to get you to a point where your stitches will be even. It will take time, patience and practice. Remember the rag type washrags that our grandmothers made? Practice knit only on both sides, then practice pearl one side. Hope that helps. Got little people I your life? Make Barbie size blankets!

Smaarty and JuneB. That's what I plan on doing, just keep practicing. The square washcloth is a good idea, I am off tomorrow to buy cotton yarn.

Spookie I need one of those phones, being Canadian we say that all the time

Sas, curious how was the rally?

sure thing, just saw where she said she was traveling

Meadow- I hope you like it here on this thread. Tell us about yourself if you want? Family, pets, hobbies, anything you want to share.

I will share too. You might wonder why I call myself Jazzgirl? I play music for fun, five instruments including two horns, the flute, the violin and learning the steel drums. Jazz is my favorite genre of music. I also love to travel, love gardening, the outdoors, and going to take my first cooking class ever next month!

Jazzygirl - Wow, you're quite a talented woman. I hope you enjoy the cooking class you spoke of. Is it for a particular type of cuisine or a basics class? I like cooking for others. It is very satisfying to see that look of appreciation on their faces when they are enjoying what I've cooked. I also love to make cheesecake for special occasions too. Unfortunately, I can't do the dinners like I used to do for my church group. The last one I did was in Feb. 2015 for a lady celebrating her 5 year cancerversary. It was for 31 people and I would have never made it without the help of 3-4 other people. Even the Pastor was scrubbing pots after dinner.

Lookforward - If you have a Joann's in your vicinity, they carry a nice selection of cotton yarns for the dish cloths. Plus, there are a lot of free patterns on-line too. Just google "free knitted dish cloth patterns."

Jazzy cooking lessons are fun, it's is surprising what we can learn. I'm going to sign up for a phyllo pastry course. I have never had any luck doing it myself. I love spanakopita, can't wait. My daughters friend's own a Italian restaurant and give lessons in making fresh pasta. My husband doesn't cook [ he can make breakfast] . I am going to get him to go for a lesson, he'll keep them entertained anyways.

Juneb. We don't have Joann's here, but we do have Michael's and they have a nice array of yarn. The store where I am taking lessons is locally owned and they have a large section of beautiful yarns as well. I had a retail store myself and always try to support local businesses. We are surrounded by big box stores and they are shutting down the smaller stores.
