    Hi everyone, long time no see

    Good to see you back. I've been away for a long time too. Just too lazy to work with the new format and some personal things going on as well. Glad to hear you are still working with young people. Our society is so chaotic these days; teaching them a useful skill is rewarding for you...

    Sorry, Cynthia, I just saw your bed runner--I think I need a nap. It's pretty. I love the colors.

    Encouragement for New Hand Quilters! My VERY First Quilted Item (humiliating myself here, LOL)

    Cynthia, I'm thinking about making a bed runner. How big is yours and have you posted a picture of it? I've been away from BYC and the computer for a while, so I haven't seen the past posts here. I didn't realize that bed runners were so popular until recently. I'm working on one that...

    inconsiderate people rant

    "All sarcasm aside, yeah, I know I'm being a jerk and being a coward by not communicating with them. But you know what? I feel safe being imperfect here at BYC. Very grateful to all those here that put up with me." You are beating yourself up for nothing. These people don't deserve any...

    Could it be bedbugs? & they're coming to Christmas - UH OH

    I've read that bedbugs have even been found in hospital furniture, cloth lounge chairs, etc. I would then think that they can get into cloth chairs in doctors' offices, clinics, or any public furniture. Even expensive hotels have had the problem with so many foreign travelers these days...

    Cardinal Christmas Quilt

    These quilts are gorgeous! How did I miss this thread? You and Speckledhen are so fast on these large quilts. It takes me forever to make a lap quilt. I also have a sunbonnet Sue small quilt that I finally finished 10 years later!!

    Hillybilly Neighbors

    I think "hillbilly" is a state of mind and behavior. As I've said before, I've seen the same types in Michigan and Washington State.

    Sears and Kmart closings

    I agree, rancher hicks. There's a lot of cheerleading out there but I choose to believe Jimmy Rogers, financial analyst. Just today it was announced that Morgan Stanley is laying off 580 in NYC. Every day it seems a company is downsizing. The new unemployment claims were announced today...

    Sears and Kmart closings

    Someone mentioned Kresges. When I was a kid there was a 5 & dime store on the corner in Plymouth, Michigan. My mother and our neighbor grocery shopped together and would stop in at the counter for pie and coffee. This store had the most delicious homemade food. I think it was a Kresge...

    Anybody Watch NCIS?

    Love it--great cast and I like them all, even DiNozzo but he drives me crazy sometimes. Standing over a body cracking jokes is very unprofessional to me. (Gibbs told DiNozzo's father that DiNozzo is the best special agent that he's had!) I like McGee's relationship with Abby--his...

    Sears and Kmart closings

    I haven't shopped at Kmart in years because there is only one 50 miles away. It is located away from other stores, too. At the summer sale, I picked up great bargains--maybe that's why they are closing stores. The last week of the sale I bought the cutest outfits for my little...

    Just have to vent.

    We all have MIA relatives. DH is the main dishwasher when the sons/family visit; it is his sweet way of helping me out while I cook, etc. Fortunately for me, my sons' chores were washing dishes and mowing lawns, so they also have the dishpan hands in my family when they visit (no dishwasher...

    Have you seen a GI Joe Doll like this?

    Quercus21, I love genealogy too. Family stuff is just sitting there waiting to be discovered. I find more things locally. My great-grandfather committed suicide about 1931, I think. (I found a copy of his death certificate) One relative said he died of a heart attack on the street...
