For anyone who understands the situation, I have a sincere question. Why are we still beefing with Cuba? What risk do they still pose?

I'm just going to be reading a book or crocheting. Might as well do something productive rather than listen to that blatherskite.

I would add The Godfather to the list. Again for a class and I can say I just didn't get the hype, nor did I care for the story or the characters in the first place. π€·πΌββοΈ
I have a habit of enjoying movies everyone else hates. Today's fun movie is Battleship. It's pure popcorn fun and I won't call any of my fun movies guilty pleasures because I don't feel guilty about liking them at all. π

But if you're a Celiac looking for pagach in the area, try Lynn & Louie's in Archbald. Nice thick crust, plenty of gooey cheese, onions and potatoes. Yum. #NEPA #Celiac

You've got this. Your friends' babies are going to love them. π
Watching the Super Bowl and they made a point of introducing the ASL performers and then didn't bother showing them. Hell, all they needed to do was to stick them in the corner of the damned screen. π€¬

I was shopping the day after and a depressed-looking woman wearing a Kamala hat was next to me and I just looked at her and said, βWeβll get through this.β If Iβd known it would be this bad this quickly, I might not have said anything.

It was weird to rely on feel to find the stitches, but it worked better than using a thin thread to stabilize it. And I have a tribble! I think I need more.

This is so cute. What thread are you using? I love the rainbow colorway.

I spent $4 on a bag of crochet thread at the Goodwill today. They're sitting out in the freezing cold right now to kill any nasty things that might have come home with them.
Where do you buy your cones? I'm tempted to get them in the basic colors like black and white.
