Hey all! I've normally be starting these on Mondays but I'm going to be busy tomorrow. I actually thought ahead!! I finally finished the baby blanket today. I only took a little bit of time to weave up, since it was one blanket. Today I sewed on the satin binding. It's in the dryer now. I also started warping my other loom for 3 more scarves. How is everyone doing? Please share your progress - or lack thereof!

Agreeing with the others. Shouldn't be a problem. I can't imagine what type of etiquette beyond common courtesy would be needed.

what is wonderful... you all must be relieved.

I might say something because there's not much to lose on your part, especially if she has kids at home still. They would be my motivation to speak up.

that's so sad. praying for healing.

I voted "very confident but don't drive as much as I used to" When we first got married with both had a stick shift car too. Today, my dh's car is a stick and I drive it occasionally, but it's mostly his car. The other's are automatics. I don't mind driving manual trans. unless the the traffic is bad - then it's a pain.

wondering if there's an update.

I agree. It's a good place to be given the circumstances. Praying for you and your mom.

:grouphug: Not anxiety, but definitely dread. I just went through it - twice! Well, to be fair, dh did the first one since it was a car for him and I just tried to stay out of it. The next one I did mostly myself (he came along for the test drive)... but it's the hassle factor, time, and the prices that get me. SUCH a hassle. Anyway, we just bought our new-used minivan (it paid off to look for a long time and use Craigslist- but it was an effort). One of our other cars was in the shop for routine maintenance yesterday. The mech. called me and declared.... "I wouldn't invest anymore money on needed tires for your car, it's probably not going to last much longer." no, NO, NO!!!!! It has *got* to limp along for at least another year or two - I won't go through another used car buying experience anytime soon.

It seems that the no spitting thing is pretty standard. All my kids were told after they had their wisdom teeth pulled. I think it does have to do with dry socket - which is supposed to be awful! Good luck with your recovery. Take care.

:grouphug: :grouphug: It's hard sometimes, isn't it. What you said was so true and very lovely. My mom lived 800miles away the last 6-7yrs of her life. However, before that she and Dad lived with us. The kids still have fond memories of that time, even though some were pretty young.

Great photos and wonderful scarves (yay another weaver!)... however, this is the craft thread from 2 weeks ago. Here's the current one: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/493915-what-crafthobby-thing-are-you-doing-this-week-week-14/ KK - please share your embroidery--- I'm SURE it's lovely.

scary. Glad all is clear... but still :grouphug: and prayers.

I threw away all but 2 cards I received when my mom died back in March. This was only because those two were written by friends who didn't know my mom personally but understood me and what I was going through. They said some very personal things about their own experience with grief and it touched me.

thanks for the clarifications... I'm glad she made it through the surgery without complications. Prayers for her recovery.

how's everyone doing? It's been pretty quiet on this thread this week. I'm not doing anything!! I need a crafting kick in the pants. I don't know why I'm in such a slump.

oh good grief!! Typo alert. I meant to say "I'm not LDS" ... sorry about the confusion and not catching that typo sooner (I usually check and re-check for them as I'm notoriously bad at it). :blushing:

I'm on Goodreads... I can be you friend if you want. I have pretty eclectic tastes. I'm checking out some of the ones you listed too! But, you can look at most other people's lists. Say you find a book you *love*. And you read someone's review who also loves it. If you click on their name it should take you to their profile. Some people may have their's private, but I've found it to be few and far between. Anyway, just a thought.

I'm LDS. yeah, I don't know that we'd join right away anyways...especially after his last experience. Thanks for the information. I'll pass most of it on to my dh since I have no idea what some of that stuff is anyway! LOL.

I think it is very sad that her doctors are saying she has no say in her care because she is currently unconscious. Clearly, she has made her wishes known before this crisis. praying for good decisions to be made by everyone. Its never easy to have to make these kinds of choices in the moment and when there's a crisis. :grouphug:

My son has tried this troop for 1.5 years. It's just not working and he wants out. We told him it was his choice. Anyway, there's another troop that he's somewhat interested in trying because he already knows one of the boys there. Is there any kind of etiquette to doing this?? Do you just stop one and go to another?? Our older boys tried BS and just didn't like it - at all - so this is new territory.

It's so hard to wait when you're so far away. Praying for you all.

praying

LOL -- no but I re-watched "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" about 3 months ago. Does that count???

That's okay, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I had a weird dream last night about drag queens and babies... the baby got dropped by a drag queen. :huh: I'm still trying to figure out where that one came from.
