Okay! I think I've got everybody that worked on your circle of friends afghan, Maria! Both the blanket and the rosary were Plei's idea. Beverly headed up the rosary search. Many people donated funds that went either to the rosary, the yarn, or the gift cards.

If I have missed somebody, please please let me know so I can correct it! On the flickr photo, I have tagged which strips/squares belonged to which knitter; thanks to Sox for helping me figure that out!

Knitters/Crocheters:

  • Jen P.
  • Sox
  • askye
  • Anne W.
  • -t
  • Liese S.
  • Sophia Brooks

-t did all the piecing and the border. I did the cat-herding!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Lee, what's wrong with your house/yard?

I am having a drainage system put in. It's a good thing, eventually

Scrappy, the crockpot recipes sound fantastic, but if you want something really quick and easy to fix I might suggest what I had for dinner tonight: spinach ravioli (I used a garlic butter sauce, but I've also heard good things about the Buitoni variety with a red sauce), a nice salad, and grilled focaccia. It took less than 10 minutes to fix and was of the yum.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That does sound good. I like the frozen pastas in general; the Bertolli ones are pretty good too. But I don't do them too much because the SO won't eat them. Which, true they're fairly calorie dense.

The Bertoli ones are what I usually buy too, though I gather the Buitoni brand are better-sized for two. I keep meaning to try that lobster ravioli one and then never end up buying it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The blanket is so great! It looks like a big hug. Thanks, everyone who worked on it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

does anyone here know anything about moving cars across the country? We have two to move.

I have done internet searches, but the companies who have given me quotes seem sketchy (3-4 different companies, calling from the same area code, with the same email formatting). I can find no independent reviews of the companies outside of one website. The website has thousands of reviews, but usually companies (I have dealt with) have more of an online presence than that.

Oh, and all the companies have obviously used website creator software for their websites.

I need some leads on reputable auto moving companies. Please.

I just about had a meltdown last night trying to sort through this particular issue.

Any tips any of you have would be appreciated.

le nubian, I don't know where you are, but if time is not of the essence, could you use the movers from the Delancey Street Foundation? I used them for a cross country move and for a car (two separate things) and things went fine.

Sniff -- no one asked me to work on the blanket. But given my track record for getting things done on time, you'd still be waiting for it.
