I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Home or work?

I think maybe I will decorate my deck at the Wisconsin house.

Art Crawl!!!

I have a friend who picks up all manner of knitting needles and crochet hooks at the resale shop at the local senior home.

The local yarn store is where you go when you want high-end stuff--or if you have money and want to support local. Michael's and Jo-Ann's will get you decent stuff cheap, especially if you look for sales and coupons. Signing up for their rewards programs is very lucrative.

Are you sensitive to all acrylics? There are some very nice, soft, snuggly ones out there.

edit: also consider looms, if you have trouble with the needles. My arthritic hands just can't cope with the needles.

also re: knitting--if you have nice discount places like Til Tuesday, check in there. I picked up some silk/cotton yarn for a third of what the yarn store would ask.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Home or work?

Me? Home. We have a tiny glassed-in front porch that I think would be just fine with some bats and stuff on it. But then also should I try to carve a pumpkin elaborately?

My department is basically falling apart. The big boss just came and grabbed me as a senior person to make a decision, because he couldn't find anyone else and he's trapped in a huge project. It had literally nothing to do with my job or areas of expertise, but dammit, I made that decision!

Sewer tomatoes: [link] Just awesome. I guess you feed them to ninja turtles?

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

It's a C.H.U.D. garden.

Or CHUD who like a side dish.

Ooh, glassed-n porch with bats, yes! And I say go for the pumpkin with the caveat that if you don't like it or whatever you can just compost it. Or eat it. Whatever.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't have a plausible explanation for coworkers as to where I have been for a month. Advice?
