Posted to locked out of chicago filter – Sorry, rant to follow, ignore if you choose living with me does NOT give you the right to use my stuff and my private space whenever you want – ESPECIALLY when you don’t even seem to acknowledge that we might have a right to want to use stuff of ours that you have co-opted. I am SO glad that you are quite willing to let us have our guest bed back when you move out (after you’ve worn out the mattress). No I am sorry I don’t have the money to setup [...]

This is just a reader’s summation but I liked it – I found it here 1. Connections – human, computer, biology – are everything. Life = networks. 2. Never compromise your ideals because someone said it’s impossible, stupid, or a waste of time. 3. Do focus on changing the world, don’t focus on the money. If you provide value, the money will come. 4. Have a healthy disregard for the impossible. If someone hasn’t done it yet, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. 5. Money is a problem, not a solution. Money cannot solve your problems, but your solutions can solve [...]

Originally posted at Which-Crafts So mom and I have started a tradition of taking a class on Thursday afternoon and then shopping till we drop Thursday night. Friday morning i met Helen and Elizabeth for more shopping in the Stitches Market, and then I couldn’t avoid it Saturday afternoon, durring class break. The result is a fair amount of loot, probably most of my year worth of knitting at the very least. Look behind the cut for hot sticky Yarn Porn (warning: large pics ahead): I have started knitting socks and while I don’t really like the yarn i am [...]
