Somehow I don’t usually think of fashion when I think about knitting something. I’m aware that knit patterns tend to echo the same lines and colors as the ready-to-wear industry but somehow that just doesn’t seem as important when I’m selecting yarn and pattern to knit a garment. Perhaps this is because it takes me [...]

Where Spam Comes From

I have a spamblocker program on my computer which protects me from having to deal with a huge amount of spam. Some, though, ends up in a segregated folder as “suspect” mail and I can view it to determine if it truly is spam.
I’ve noticed a rather interesting thing about the messages which end up [...]

The other day I was following a school bus as I came home. At one stop, a young girl got off. As I watched, she picked a gone-to-seed dandelion and blew on it. I thought, “I bet her parents don’t appreciate her spreading those seeds all around.”

When did losing bladder control become a measure of how funny a situation is? I’ve read the expression “I laughed until I nearly wet my pants” several times in the last few days. I don’t get the connection between humor and loss of bladder control. I know this happens but what ties the two things [...]
When then thinking

Last night at Bible Study, the minister taught on learning contentment. He used a phrase during the lesson which caught my ear … when then thinking. When I ___________, then I’ll _________. You get to fill in the blanks. This got me to thinking about how pervasive this kind of thinking is.
When I finish this [...]
Effects of Time Change

What effects has the change back to standard time had on you? I know some liken the effects to those of jet lag. I never paid any attention to them prior to this year. But I do believe the change affects me physically. I noticed this past week that I’m ready for bed at least [...]
