I have no idea how you actually make a hair shirt

I'd think knit.

Is "www.FlagellantsRUs.com" taken yet?

Ooh, time to play "religious supply store or porn"!

Also, you googling instead of asking doesn't tell me anything. And it often happens that someone will bring up a question on something that is new and interesting, or that I'd also wanted to know but didn't think to ask.

Yup, this. I like the community brain factor.

Susan, I checked the post, and the person in question has rubbed me the wrong way before (not in direct interaction, but observing her interacting with other people), so I'd shrug it off.

OK. Will shrug.

And I think I've discovered the real reason I write so much better when I do my drafts in longhand. I'm drafting at the computer, trying to round out the seven pages I wrote out last night and typed in this morning up to ten pages to take to writers group tonight. And I'm all, "Whee! I just wrote a whole paragraph. Time to check Buffistas again! I wonder if there's anything in my gmail box."

And it's pronounced Lake WTFdon'teventryit.

Well, if you want to be technical about it, it's pronounced "Webster Lake" now.

hairshirtsRus.com?

Um?

This is the first post I've been able to get to take in Natter all day.

I'd think knit.

Whose hair is that long? I'd think that spinning the yarn would be a bitch. Felting, though -- how best to mat hair once it's off the head?

hair is actually quite itchy and unpleasant

Fur is hair plus, though. And many people quite like that texture.

What problem were you having?

I'm trying to record class attendence in the computerized class-management system that my university is now using. There has got to be a way for this to have been better designed. There's no way to just go down the class list and check off who was there. To indicate that someone was in class, I have to click that student's name, then check off that he or she was there, then click "OK," which gets me to the "this has been recorded" confirmation page, then click "OK" on that, which gets me back to the class list page. There are 52 students in this class. This is taking forever, and it's ridiculous that it's taking forever, because I am absolutely positive that there's a way this software could have been designed so that I could look at the class list page and just click a check box next to the students who were in class.
