only slightly OT: tunisian crochet

She's skinny and tiny - she would blow away in an Atlantic gale.

Naaa--I would blow back and chase it away, but in reality I was once picked up by a gale wind and moved about 6'. That happened to me at Columbus Circle in Manhattan, where you get the wind from both rivers converging on innocent walkers who are just trying to cross from one side to the other.

You mean the twins? Back then, some friends of ours had a sheep named Orlon, and her two lambs were Polly and Esther.

I might actually have one, now that I think of it :-). I didn't get very far barefooted. The fashion show (and I use the term loosely) was held in the local grocery store parking lot and the asphalt hurt my feet after the first few steps. Some kind young soul tossed me her flip flops :-). And to answer Trish -- nothing wrong with the granny dress

-- it was the colors. I look absolutely jaundiced in autumn colors unless they are of the purple harvest GRAPE variety. CiaoMeow >^;;^<

VBS and I STILL have the pattern for an adul granny dress and a matching kid's dress in my stash. Made matching Easter dresses and a shirt or tie or some such for DH out of the same fabric. Of course, DH looked tres' chic with the white poly slacks and white shoes and belt -- GAG -- LOLOL! And THAT one I do have a photo of -- all 3 of us together. CiaoMeow >^;;^<

The answer to that clearly is, white loafers with a belt to match.

That's somewhat like my friend's two chickens that lived in a playpen in her Brooklyn basement and were named Snow and Flake.

And they could do that??? Some one in my neighborhood tried to have chickens on their 5 acres (penned and housed, no rooster) and the neighbors went nuts.

I personally am sick of the low cut tanks that are worn layered, but their real purpose is to draw attention to the chest. . .

That's what I just don't "get." There's a whole new industry in real estate - "staging" - dedicated to cosmetic changes to sell a property because people can't see beneath the surface. It's completely lost on me because to me, it's so easy to distinguish between the "bones" and the superficial decor. Are SO MANY people unable to see the difference? Why has this just sprung up in the past few years? Presumably houses have been selling for ages.

It would be interesting to know if others in this forum have a similar opinion or a contrary one, because we're sort of a self-selected group of people who "see" things differently (i.e., perhaps our creative natures implies this ability). It might make for an interesting discussion!

Yep.

We've become so shallow that people don't look beneath the surface either at houses or people. If it's got a fresh coat of paint, it must be in good condition all-around.

Two chickens, basement apartment, playpen - ? Now that really is flaky !

I think there are two parts here. One - looks good counts a lot. Two, fresh paint subconsciously says fresh repairs/remodelling. It means it is in good shape and the building inspector won't find anything wrong.

I personally live in fear every time one the historic homes in the area go on the market for fear they'll be torn down and another McMansion or three goes up. The local historical society has been trying to at least get the building donated if they are slated for tear down (even paying to move them or dismantle and store until funds to raise them elsewhere come available).

Ya think??? lol You should have seen the faces on the cops who came to the house when her alarm went off. Besides the two chickens she had a Peruvian Hamster, a fish tank and a dog.

The cops made her get rid of the chickens because it isn't allowed in the city and she took a ride all the way to a farm and just dumped them there.

I know it sounds like fiction, but it is a true story.She was an elementery school teacher and wound up with them in her classroom when one of the kids brought them in after Easter because his parents said absolutely not in their house. She was stuck having to take them home over a school holiday and really couldn't bring them back to the school, so they became permanent residents.

A woman in Halifax was just made to remove three chickens she was keeping in her back yard. Personally I was with the city on that one, having lived on a poultry farm. Neighbours said rats were coming their way, Halifax is a port city, plenty of rats and they didn't want to attract them.
