I was going good and dropped a stitch , I thought, and picked it back up and everything looked fine and then I counted and I've got one 1 extra stitch and after turning the knitting around I can't figure out where I threw in the extra and how to get it out so I'll go to the yarn shop tomorrow.
I was talking on the phone with mom and working on the knitting so I guess I'm fairly comfortable with the double points now.
askye, in those cases, I generally just k2tog somewhere.
Yay for new skills!
Ginger, would a warm soak in epsom salt help with the swelling? It helps with my edema, but I don't know if it is the same thing at all. I'm sorry about the housing stuff.
that YES, she is spamming us with too many pro-Obama reblogs, and stop preaching to the choir, 'cause she's cluttering up our feed.
2 of my sisters do this. And it's not just Obama, it's global warming, support the troops (one is a military mom), Native Americans and Feminist posts.
I AGREE with everything they post, but when I see that I have 100 updates, 89 of them are just those 2! One of them just retired and apparently has nothing else to do all day!
I have avoided re-posting political things recently to avoid family drama, but I may rethink that after today.
Ginger, you might enjoy Barabra Ehrenreihs "Bright Sided" in the unlikely event you have not already read it. A book length rant about what you are talking about.
I have had enough of hearing about disabled person who never let their disability get them down and still managed to do amazing things to last me a lifetime.
Tell me about it. When I was poster child, I did a lot of telethons. Nothing but that followed by tear jerking stories to help the kids. Hmm. That might be why I haven't watched the Labor Day Telethon in awhile.

I haven't gone to a SB gathering in a very long time. Too much being told I wasn't disabled enough for my taste. As soon as I was old enough to decide for myself whether or not I wanted to attend those things, I was out of there.
I have read
Bright Sided.
I agreed with most of it, although she has a wacky view of breast cancer treatment that could be harmful.
wtf, sj? People are so wrong sometimes.
The only relative I have who sends spammy political emails always sends the RW ones. Like some joke where the punch line is that the US has gone to hell since Obama's been in office, or lame riffs about how it used to be back in the good ol' days. I usually delete his emails without opening them.
