Talk about a deep cut! Haven’t been in that group since 2009.

If you are referring to LSG, yes.

The quickest way to find them is to buy a replacement.

“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.” I love that quote by Shug Avery in The Color Purple. Wear that in the best of health🩷🩷🩷

I am really trying hard to be mindful of not allowing certain people access to me, as well as not chasing after people who don’t want to participate in my life. MeeMaw’s content is so useful.

@frankmeadows.bsky.social Watching the Rick Flair doc on Netflix and wish we were neighbors so we could watch it together. Woo!

I thought the same thing!

Tbh I can’t understand why anyone reads NYT anymore. They haven’t been a paragon of journalistic excellence & integrity for quite some time.

I feel bad if they are leaving you out of the loop. I’ve been in a similar situation and it is very hurtful.

Sparking joy today: Focaccia.

…create the next gen Einstein, only for the resulting human to be the antithesis of Einstein.

Idea for a writer of fiction far more talented than I to explore writing a story about a doctor planning on having a baby via IVF who happens to obtain a slide containing a slide of Einstein’s brain & decide to genetically alter the genes if the embryo by splicing in some Einstein DNA, hoping to…

A crochet motif: at center is an Amish style 8 pointed star in dark purple yarn with a background of variegated yarn with pink, blue & purple

Sparking joy today: Currently 13F and hooking up a sample motif before banging out a bevy of #crochet afghans using this star motif.

I plan on attempting to grow it this spring.

Time for a cup of tea.

Stainless steel bowl containing pink rose partially frozen hand churned ice cream festooned with chopped pistachios with a red balloon whisk still in the bowl.

At 2 hours 41 minutes i am defeated. I added the mix ins, packaged them up (2 pints each flavor) and returned them to the snowy mound to further solidify without my involvement.

Current mood: taking a lunch break indoors right now—53 min into this project. Seriously questioning my life choices right now.

Stainless steel bowl filled with lactose free moo juice, some leftover coconut milk & sweet condensed coconut milk & vanilla bean paste and a balloon whisk nestled into a larger steel bowl filled with snow and salt. My first attempt at making home made ice cream without a churn or electric ice cream maker. Both bowls are atop a black table with a woven motif.

Sparking joy today: It is 20F outside, and with the bounty of snow, I decided today is a perfect day to attempt hand churning my first ever batch of ice cream, outside, in the cold. Taking my time warming my hands in between whisking the vanilla-coconut base for what I hope will become rum raisin.

OMG a teacher I had in secretarial school said “the next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find the answer.” In this case, she was referencing the Gregg style book, but this philosophy has broad appeal!

Waves to you on your way through this neck of the woods! Have a safe trip!

It is a valuable life skill to impart on children, the ability to think critically.

Invest in a box of page protectors too—especially for patterns you enjoy using! I have a 3 ring binder for patterns & a binder for recipes, both set up similarly!

The only way to have it forever is to have downloaded the pdf.

You know what intermittent fasting is, right? I am using the same approach to doom scrolling or watching any news clips—waiting until I have my first meal of the day (for me it’s like 1 pm), and I try not to watch something super triggery first.
