OT: should I hurt him, and if so, how much??

Ahhhh I say cut him some slack. I didn't take his comment to be negative. The art vs. craft discussion/arguement can go on and on. I don't know that I would call all quilters artists. I think perhaps in a backhanded kind of way that he was trying to validate your talents too. It's not worth being angry about. IMHO

This is exactly why we don't have television reception in our home. Too many transgressions to commit while the brain is disengaged == which I contend is the only way most of us watch television.

I will say, I don't consider the quilts I make to be art. If I draw out a design with deliberate composition, balance, etc. and then work at the result until I make it as near as I can what I intended, then sometimes I think it is at least wannabe art. But most of what I make is artfully comforting. LOL.

I would settle for nothing less than your favorite kind of chocolate, in appropriate seeking-forgiveness quantities!

First, calm down. Sounds like he was teasing you.

But to literally make him squirm, you could move the button on those shorts so that it makes the shorts too tight. Or, you could use a smaller button, one that will never stay closed. (G)

I had a friend in college who actually did laundry and ironing every week for her boyfriend! When she found out he was two-timing her she happened to have his laundry already washed and ironed, so she spent an evening with needle and thread and stitched all the buttonholes shut on his shirts, and then sewed up the center section of his underpants. Then she posted an ad in his dorm describing his laundry piece by piece and offered it for sale, which brought him running over to her dorm to retrieve it. She charged him the "sale price". I don't know what he did about all the sewn-shut parts of his clothes!

Sleeping outside in the dog house makes sense for him right now... ;) Or the gentle application of a cast iron skillet to the left lug...

Or just sit him down with a needle and thread and make HIM sew that button on. Then let him know that from now on he'll do his own mending. And ironing...

LOL, I can always think up a bit of mischief. I sometimes wish I could follow through.

Looks like you are feeling better. Good!

LOL Oh how I Love the pure evilness on this group...lol.

Actually, he made dinner tonight as part of his need to make up for it (I didn't say anything) and he did say he didn't mean it like it came out.

As far as television is concerned, we usually only watch wheel and jeopardy...the rest of the time, it's either off or is a movie

Larisa, in the forgiving mood for the time being

Milk it while it lasts, sister! ;)
