I love to crochet and knit. Last year I was on a knitting binge and my granddaughter wanted to learn how. Now I am quilting and she bought herself a little sewing "craft" machine (she's 11 years old) and is learning to make some...

jarnold51 My sister didn't want to learn either. I couldn't teach her anyway. When we were teenagers, I was teaching piano lessons, I had about 5 students in the neighborhood. (I ended up getting my Bachelor's in piano & voice). Anyway, my mom decided I should teach my...

jarnold51 My granddaughter starts something and doesn't follow through. I'll buy her a kit when I know she'll really do it. Right now it's sewing with her but when it was knitting I bought her some nice yarn and needles and she just "stopped" after a while. So I'm...

I just got a "new" toy. I love it!!! It's a Sony PRS-505, a portable reading system. I saw the Oprah when she gave everyone in the audience a Kindle and I've been wanting one ever since! How many of you have one of the Portable...

jarnold51 The Sony is better than the Kindle. Mainly, it is because with the Kindle you can only download from Amazon, which costs. With the Sony, you can download .pdf and .doc items. There are thousands of books that don't cost a thing in pdf format. Of course, you...

jarnold51 Of course I am as busy as everybody else. But I am a secondary English teacher and as such I am almost "required" to read as part of my job. I love it.

jarnold51 Read it in an almanac but I don't remember where. It was a while back. That's one of those things that those against guns in the US use.

jarnold51 The centaur is half man, half horse, such as the herd that lives in the forbidden forest. Florenze is a centaur and he teaches divination in the later books. A Pegasus is a winged horse, somewhat like a thestral. The hippogriff is the half bird/half horse that...

Inauguration day has traditionally been a day where party politics are set aside. The outgoing and incoming presidents are usually cordial and gracious to each other, no matter the party or what was said during the...

jarnold51 /the "when white do what is right" is the only part that I did not like. Don't we have a black president? What is it that we have not done right (racially) in the past few years? The rest of the day was wonderful. Obama said what any president would have said...

Frist, I'm aware that this has probably been discussed here before but I have to rant. When I was younger, I'd received chain letters in the mail. They warned if I didn't pass it on, then there would be dire repercussions. Later,...

Last friday I took our 8 month old cat Chloe to be spayed. I picked her up later that day and brought her home. She was very groggy until later that evening. As soon as she was stable enough to walk, she went into the bedroom and...

jarnold51 I was sure that is what the vet would say but as a breeder, I knew that any change like that should be reported to the vet in case there was something that happened that you are not aware of. Best of luck with your "baby".

Ok how many times have you truly been in love not this puppy love stuff but actual love? Is being in love meaning that you can't live without that person? Your world revolves around this person or is this just being infactuated...

jarnold51 Somehow I got posted without finishing. As I was saying, my husband is the most wonderful man in the world and I am head over heels in love with him. I can't imagine life without my sweetheart.

jarnold51 You said something about God "admiring" people for something. God is so perfect and wonderful that even the very best we have to offer Him is "as dirty rags in his sight. He would not be God if He were any less. I get tired of people (not necessarily you) who...

When I was younger, I had so many crafts I had to have a "craft closet" in my house. It was filled with my projects: cross-stitch, embroidery, needlepoint, crochet, knit, quilting, ceramics, plastic canvas, scrapbooking. You name...

jarnold51 I have a basket in the living room also, right next to my chair. That way if I get bored, I can change crafts. Right now I'm working on an afghan (crochet) that I started 4 years ago. My daughter bought the yarn and I promised to do it. After I started this...

I have 2 children. My youngest (a son) is 25 years old. He is married and lives about 1700 miles from me. In spite of that, he would tell anyone that he is a "momma's boy". I am close to my daughter but my son and I have always...

jarnold51 Exactly. He will always be close to me. He loves his dad but they don't have as close a relationship. He's my friend and my son both.

jarnold51 It's not odd really. They got married in October and lived together for over 3 years so it's not a traditional "honeymoon". It's really just a great vacation. I've enjoyed hearing about it. And I have the best daughter in law in the world.
