Oh, now THAT's what I'm talkin' about! Forget the cheesecake--all would be forgiven if this showed up at my house. :D

Have you picked a material to make a car seat poncho?

Made from fleece, nice and warm. That way kids are kept warm carried to car, no coat bunched under straps (dangerous....have you seen the video?). Seat belt buckles under the cape, then just pull it down to keep them warm.

Life saver...literally.

My sewing isn't that good, so since I made a stocking for dil's mother, I asked her to make one of these for my other dil's baby. Hopefully she remembers.

Thanks for the tip--I'll have to look into those and see if I can find a pattern somewhere.

I don't know, but is anyone else having a hard time picturing CAT in a nag as a Grandma? Ms. Mod okay, but CAT?

Not angry, just irritated. Why is it that you can only enter some contests if you are on facebook or twitter. Especially authors. They seem to do all this cool stuff, but it's always for facebook and twitter.

I'm not trying to stay in the dark ages by any means. I get the whole thing about promotion thing. I get connecting with friends or relatives.

But, why should I be excluded from fun events just because I don't want to have everyone know my business? I don't want to show what I'm eating. I don't want to do the selfie from above my head looking down at my cleavage. I don't want to post fifty pictures of my cats (although they are damn fine looking creatures!)

If I had something to promote, hell yeah, I'd be all over these places. If I had no other way to stay in contact with people I care about, yep, I'd be on there. If I had a heart-on for a celebrity and wanted to unashamedly stalk them, yep -- Nyle and I would bethisclose.
And along these lines...

I tried to add my name to an online petition in the case of this Stanford rapist who got 6 months. The petition is to get the judge off the bench.

So, I go and fill out all this information and guess what? I have to link it to facebook. It won't let me submit until I do that. At least through the news channels I was going through.

So, heads up people who want support for their cause -- make the damn petition accessible to everyone. Thanks.

I'm angry today because I found out that Finders Keepers have come out translated to Swedish and I don't have money to buy
it now, on the other hand I don't have place for it in my book shelf either so I'll wait when it comes to our local library so I can borrow it
or then I buy it later when I have money.

Hey Dana Jean . I hear you. (Can't do squat 'cause I don't do Face Book. sigh)

Have mercy. The rapists Dad, “That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life.” :livid:

Did you read the crap the rapist friend wrote to the judge? The allegations/charges are all because of PC don't you know. :jaded:

Brock Turner's friend blames political correctness for Stanford sexual assault conviction - Vox

I understand wanting to help your son or friend but ...dahm. There's got to be a better way than diminish the rape or blame the victim.

Thread jack over. Sorry. :a11:

The whole thing is disgusting and I'm not sure why the prosecution did not ask this judge to recuse himself. He is a Stanford alum and apparently was a student athlete. (makes me wonder what HE did in college to be so empathetic to the rapist).

Not angry - more like 'what he hells?'...

Meeting today at work. Our group, myself, and the two men who do what I do - - and the boss.
Discuss projects. okay. Discuss upcoming performance reviews. Good, raise.

But the questions that he said that we were going to be rated on. My god, only one out of 10 had anything to do with actual work.

Graded like a 2nd grade report card.
