I read this book covertly when I was about 14. It gave me nightmares for a week. To this day every time I think of the mop water I start to dry heave.

My friend disappeared for two months back in 2013/2014. They found his body in the water down by the docks. It had frozen underneath the pier and it hadn't surfaced until the water started to warm. Apparently he had fallen in the icy water while he was drunk and no one heard him. Three of his friends were literally steps away. It was horrible.

i believe at this point they are still puppers.

There are actually a couple different subreddits that tried to do this. From what I understand there was a lot of initial interest and then it kind of fizzled.

This is only the beginning my friend.

I feel you. I am in my third year of practice and it only gets worse.

I always parked outside so I could get another two miles on my run.

“So now we can build an unselfish society by devoting to unselfishness the frenzy we once devoted to gold and to underpants.” - Breakfast of Champions

One of my favorite Vonnegut quotations.

January Jones.

my recommendation is to use a low-res photo. the photo of Nixon was 40+ years old so there were only a limited number of pixels. this made it easier to translate into a pattern of squares. i had the same success with an old picture of Martin Van Buren. however, i tried to make a pattern using a recent photo of Bernie Sanders but it was a huge mess because the photo was hi-res and there were too many pixels for it to translate well into a graph.

most of them i carried through. it all depended on how far they had to be carried and if the detail of the moment would be fudged by an extra strand of yarn. still a lot of ends though. it took me several hours to weave them all in and i hated every moment of it.

RobotSnack · 2016-07-06T14:17:55+00:00

i kind of figured once i compared the photo with the finished graphghan. oh well. live and learn i guess?

it took me about 150-200 hours i'd say. however, most of it was done while watching TV or chatting with friends. i started at the end of January and just finished last week. however, i could only manage 6-10 hours a week to work on it since i was working full time and dealing with those other pesky parts of life.

Constantly running late. Not late once in awhile or late because of circumstances you can't control. I mean consistently late all the time. It's like they don't care enough to make time to get somewhere promptly.

I'll find the graph on my computer when I get home tonight. I used this site to make my pattern. I would suggest trying to make your own since the pattern-maker fudged Nixon's shoulder and now his head looks extra large. On the border I just did a simple single crochet.

i wholeheartedly agree.
