I'm pathetically slow at knitting too, which is why I probably do about 10 crocheted projects, if not more, for every one knit project. If you like working with yarn and find knitting tedious, I'd encourage you to learn crochet, either by taking a class or teaching yourself. It is much, much...

Maybe this will make him famous here! He was great. So expressive, and again, just so charming, in the best sense of the word. I loved the sets. They were so well-done. The elegant home of "Peppy Miller" at the end is to die for. Just picture-perfect 1930's style. I lust after that...

Hubby and I and a friend went to see "The Artist" tonight. LOVED it. You may know it's almost a silent movie. There is a sound track with music and certain sound effects, but other than that, no dialogue until the very end. Plus - Botts and dogmom and other dog lovers please note - there is an...

Beautifully written. The pictures of Lotte and of the countryside are all gorgeous.

Huh??? Why??? Troubles at church? With the people or the theology?

I'm knitting it, which is much slower for me than crochet. It is fingering weight yarn, very fine, and I'm using size 5 needles, much smaller than the quicker projects I usually do. The pattern is a somewhat complicated 16 line repeat. It's not that the stitches themselves are complicated...

Interesting. Does AT&T know that is why you switched? In our Virginia house, we only get OTA tv, and use antennas, so I can't blame lack of captioning on the provider. I do wonder if our converter boxes (which are different brands for each of the two sets where we use them) are responsible...

Y'all are learning much more important things than I am! What I learned: how to do a new lace pattern for a scarf. I'm using up some gorgeous fingering-weight alpaca yarn I bought before Christmas. I also learned I have to PAY ATTENTION and keep my eyes on what I'm doing, and not so much...

My sister-in-law does that, and man, it drives me crazy. I don't see her very often (she lives in the U.K.), but her strong nearly-Welsh accent plus the irritating (IMHO) habit of laughing at the end of every sentence and sometimes between words - even when she is just saying normal, not-at-all...

It's possible that the blanket cord may have had something of your smell on it, and she was chewing it for the same reason that (some) dogs like to chew on shoes and slippers - because it smells like Mom. I'm glad it all ended all right and Marley didn't get hurt. Casey started to chew on...

True. The station I was referring to just isn't a very good station, as in, does not carry the best PBS shows, has a lot of boring (to me) shows about fishing and so forth. It comes in clearly, but there is rarely anything on it that I want to watch. My husband says the same thing about...

Just be careful that they keep the term the same as you have now, or it will start over with the amortization and you will wnd up paying more in interest, even with a lower rate. In other words, if you have two more years to go, say, don't let them change you to three years, because you will...

Our house in the Outer Banks isn't exactly what I would call "rural," but we would get nothing OTA except for one not-very-good university channel from Raleigh. We have to have cable or dish (we chose cable) to get anything at all. So I am not surprised at the comment about friends in rural...

Could that waterproof CI be worn while skiing? That would be great.

Go to antennaweb.org or antennasdirect.com for some guidance. Or just go to the closest Radio Shack and see what they have. If you are pretty close to a large city, you should be fine with just about anything, but if you don't want an antenna sitting on top of your tv, then you will have to...

Also the football huddle,right?

Even OTA can be a little wonky sometimes. We get both Washington and Baltimore stations. For some reason, "House" on the DC station often will not show the captions, but when we switch to channel 45 out of Baltimore, it' s fine. Same thing with NBC once in a while. Channel 4 out of DC will...

I miss the bench seats in front. Very handy when my boyfriend and I used to go down to the lake to "watch the submarine races." :giggle:

Good article. We always put our two dogs in the back of the car (station wagon) in their crates when we have a long road trip. I usually do it just around town, too, but my husband is more likely to let the dogs just sit in the back seat. That seems easier to him than always putting the...

How very interesting.
