I made my first Melt the ICE (MTI) hat several weeks ago. It was for me. That way, whatever mistakes I made are mine to wear. I thought the hat was a little small for my head, so for the next hat, I added an inch to the ribbing and 4 rows of stockinette after […]
I’ve been playing with the idea of taking all of my websites (including this one) down and archiving them privately, but it’s interesting to me to keep this going. For what reason? No idea. Nope. Maybe I’m emotionally attached because I’ve been doing this since before 2005. Maybe it’s all the work I put into […]
I was recently able to listen to The Story Keeper by Kelly Rimmer compliments of NetGalley. It took me a little while to come around, but I ended up loving it. A book that tells the history of the lives of the main character’s family within a story of a woman discovering her family’s history? […]
As John Lennon said: So this is Christmas And what have you done? Another year overAnd a new one just begun And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let’s hope it’s a […]
When I was a kid, my parents decided computers were a fad. It was the 1980s, and computers were increasing in popularity. We used them at school, and I knew a couple of friends who had one. It seemed magical how you could type something on a screen and have it print onto paper. The […]
You’re probably here because you want to buy a gift for me. I used to use Amazon for many, many things. But their association with the Trump administration and their business practices are forcing me to use other platforms for purchasing. Also, it’s good to use Amazon as a search engine and when you find […]
Don’t give up on your health. Be your own advocate. Ask questions. Listen closely. Ask more questions. Don’t leave anything out. Your medical care is a conversation between you and your doctor(s), and you should be satisfied with the information you get. If not, seek out other opinions and perspectives. What prompts this? I have […]
Don’t give up on your health. Even if you’ve been dismissed over and over again, keep searching for answers. Be your own advocate. I wish I hadn’t given up for so long. So many doctors dismissed my concerns about my sinuses. One told me I’d have to be like one of those little old ladies […]
Not too long ago I received some unsolicited criticism and it amused me. I don’t understand how an adult would try to control another adult’s behavior or beliefs. Ah, the poor, judgmental, religiously obsessed people. I pity them for being judgmental and obsessed with religion in this way. It accused me of being intolerant because […]
Picking out a new phone is always an ordeal for me. My perspective changes based on how I’m using my current phone and how it’s responding to its current use. Currently I’m using my Google Pixel 2. It’s a great phone. Most of the time it’s snappy (still) and it handles most of what I […]
