What Chikat said, VW. I hope things swing back to good soon.
Yay for cool moms and cool mom tattoos.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think that's a reasonable response, vw.
Upsetting and stuff, but makes perfect sense.

You know...the sucky usual that is my life right now...
I was in tears twice today if it makes you feel any better. Because the suckiness that is my life lately has been getting to me, too.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Calling All Sewers!!!
I want to start sewing--mainly clothes and home decor stuff. I would love recommendations for a good book for a beginning sewer. I had Home Ec in middle school, but not so much since then. I understand the very basics of patterns, and I can do some mean hand-sewing (hems, buttons), but that's about it.
Any suggestions??

Okay, I read that as the thing that treats and transports waste water, so it took me aback a bit...

Oh, Amy, that sounds just lovely. Gonna bask in that thought for a moment.
I'm selfishly wishing my Emily was here. (She's got "book club" tonight.) It's ok. She'll be home later, and I can torture her with my Tim McGraw tv special.

Hee! I did too.
ChiKat, I wish you were here. There's a great little shop in Somerville that offers beginnging sewing lessons. I have no ideas about books...my mom taught me when I was like six. There were no books involved.

I want a sewing machine so much, ChiKat, and I would love to learn to sew. The kids' Halloween costumes are always an agony of hand-sewing, hot glue, and safety pins, which is less than optimal.

ChiKat, ok, I know it's not a book, but I believe that a lot of crafts are better off learned hands-on.
This looks like a pretty cool place: [link]

And, if you want something even cheaper, the Chicago Park District offers lessons: [link]
