I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Question of crafty types: Is there a source for graph paper that you can work with on the computer? I'm wanting to fiddle with some beading diagrams, and it'd be cool if I could play with filling in square with colors rather than needing pencils.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Connie, I once created one for myself (about 15 years ago! on a long-lost program). Haven't done that kind of thing much since then.

If you could get one scanned in, you could most likely use a graphics program to do it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If you have a graphics program that lets you zoom in, you could create a blank graphic, zoom in (say) 8 times and then just set colors of individual pixels (which will now be 8X normal size).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Connie, if you do an image search for graph paper, you'll find a fairly mind-blowing range of different kinds, grid sizes, etc. I'm sure there's something suitable for whatever you like to use for beading.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Heh--I just posted the Otter link to my Sherlock-loving niece on FB and within 10 seconds she answered with the hedgehog link.

Holy cow, the Sagrada Familia was AMAZING. My niece is now obsessed with Gaudi. I have never seen anything like it. WOW, seriously.

And we walked for miles and then accidentally ordered a pitcher of sangria. Ooops. And now to bed.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Checking in late on the hair thing. Mine is wavy/curly, with the degree of curl dependent on the amount of moisture in the air.(Yes, I like something about the humid summers here.) It is also very fine, and I wear it long and (approximately) one length, so getting it cut when it's wet isn't a problem. I rarely use product because after an hour my hair starts drooping.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So. Apparently the Dutch Roman Catholic Church castrated at least 10 boys back in the 1950s. To cure them of homosexuality and to quell their claims that they were abused by priests.

Dag, you can't even try to libel the Catholic Church anymore, they just keep staying ahead of the curve.

And I was upset they were stealing babies from unwed mothers in Spain and shipping them off to Catholic families.
