Freebietude might be my new favorite word.
I was also thinking about freebieosity and freebieness and bear free and free beer and free verse and free will and free enterprise and FREEBIRD and the word has lost all meaning.
Wow, I'm drugged to my nonexistent gills.
Random Jewish question: is it allowed to knit on the Sabbath? Or is that considered work?
It's one of the 39 categories of work:
27. Chainstitching 44
This includes all crocheting, knitting, and braiding activities.
Not only can you not braid hair, you can't comb hair. Because you might pull some out, and that is considered shearing.
Does everybody look scruffy Saturday morning?
It's can be a sign of piety to look a little scruffy on the Sabbath. When DH was going to the Orthodox synagogue fairly frequently, he would sometimes apologize for being whiskery, and the rabbi would always tell him that it was better that he didn't break the sabbath by shaving. Of course, he'd drive to service because we didn't live nearby, but he'd park around the corner to preserve appearances.
I imagine if it's a part of your weekly routine you can manage to look more presentable.
I think in our fifties you and I should merge in some super hero fashion into a Big Momma entity. We'll bake pies, share wigs, and fight crime.
Back from lunch and loving this idea. And I could totally be a Big Momma. Big Momma is an attitude, not a physical state.
How I have missed the Buffistae and all the TommsbelleTrudyShriftitaBetsyTheoHeatherDebetTommy-t goodness.
Also, it would be great to have a legitimate reason for not combing my hair on the weekends instead of my current reason, rampant laziness.
