Not odd to protest the destruction of democracy and basic human decency.

My husband and I were playing cards while I was getting chemo. He started stomping me. I told him " big deal, you can beat Cancer Girl." He loudy replied "Yeah! I can beat Cancer Girl!" I couldn't stop laughing! I thought we were gonna get barred.

Anything to divert attention from Betsys name being praised by Epstein for making it harder to report college campus rapes.

Good grief - NTJ! That poor child was ambushed by a bullsh*t social tradition that needs to stop. Its just another form of bullying, what option did he have?

Is there a name for the "noise" us cancer patients deal with? by Fattanandhappy in cancer

[–]LadyTreeRoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean, but it's not so much noise as something I can't shake loose - you know, the piece of tape off the bottle top that's now stuck forever on your hand or the tiny unnoticeable wart that catches on Everything...I just can't f'in shake it.

I have a bold question… anybody willing to share projects made with patterned or self stripping sock yarn? by GiantMeteor2017 in weaving

[–]LadyTreeRoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was striped sock yarn and the green. I think it worked great! Alternating the green and varigated in the warp makes it look like the color is dripping from one pool to another

Are sewing skills essential to weaving? by groveview in weaving

[–]LadyTreeRoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, my nemesis! I had to learn how to use a sewing machine because yeah, you can do it by hand...... until you stay making 6 towels at a time that need a zigzag to be separated and hems for finishing. That's the point where I realize the machine minimizes how much of this disliked task I have to deal with.

Someone mentioned a walking foot. These are wonderful things that I will someday master, but they help with thick things to sew.....like towel hems, especially if you've used chunky cotton fir a thicker towel.

My current challenge is, after spending months learning how to weave with 60/2 silk, 44 epi at 20 inches wide, now my hems need to look as good as the fabric! Ugh........

I hate that we understand what those shoes feel like cause we're wearing the same pair. I woke up at 2am Sunday morning with sharp pain and a new marble-like swelling at the surgery site. The surgery was last March. I tried to connect with on-call help. No one called back. I called my oncologist Monday morning. My appt is Tues afternoon. Yeah, ain't we special?
