This is a cricut.

It cuts vinyl, chip board, wood and fabric. It also draws, embossed and a bunch of stuff. I bought all kinds of permanent and heat transfer vinyl, leather and wood as well as stensil vinyl. The design software let's you create a ton of projects. It also cuts fabric for quilting.

Oh no, why do you tell me this stuff? Now I want one. I had convinced myself I didn't need one.

Perchie/Deb! You are looking marvelous! I am so happy for you, and yes, I agree with everyone, you LOOK happy, and HEALTHY! You have come so far and I know it's been a hard won battle for you but it was so much worth your while. Keep it up.

I'm also sooooo happy that you got the chickens you have been wanting for so long. The uphill climb is leveling out for you! Life is getting back to what is the new normal for you.

My husband surprised me yesterday. Once upon a time long before we met, I had an art studio. I was forced to give it up because of a move and all of my furniture, the desk, the easel, the drafting table all had to be re-homed. I mentioned to him that I would like to set up another little studio in our hobby room and told him about my tilt table that I had and really missed. Later yesterday, he called me in to the radio room and directed my attention to his computer monitor where there was this state of the art drafting table with drawers, equipment holders, the works. Happy Birthday next month, he said to me. All I could do was wipe the tears from my eyes and hug him.

He has been so wonderful, urging me to get back to my art and not put it on the back burner any longer. We are also rearranging the hobby room to accommodate the drafting table and whatever other equipment I might need.

Wow! Lucky you! I can only wish.

I get my generic prescriptions for $ 1.25 each (very old generic versions) but they still seem to work. Two of them come as 90 day refills, and one has to be filled monthly.

Yeah some of the older generics are cheap. The only prescription I have is for Simvastatin, it is so cheap that with DW's Blue Cross insurance from work I don't even have a copay. I checked GoodRx. Hannaford is the cheapest retail: $2.38 (no wonder I have no copay). Target and CVS are $28 retail, with coupon $15.70 and skipping down some more we find, yet again by far the most expensive, Walgreens at $31.05 ... 13 times as expensive as Hannaford AND there is no coupon to reduce the price.

Thank you. I was wondering the same thing. But I don't know anything about bantums. lol

Oh no, why do you tell me this stuff? Now I want one. I had convinced myself I didn't need one.

That's what I thought to. But I could not resist!

Wait see the surprise when it grows up just pouring here.. Went out to buy a decent cord and basic light socket to use in the broody during the days ...I guess happy broody is good for 20 right

I got a window put in the Turkey coop where it was all open on one side. Now I just need to cut plywood to fit the spaces around it. I put some young chickens in there, I needed more brooder space. They seem to like it.

Hi everyone. Hit the floor running today and just set down for the first time. Working on studio corner in hobby room, cleaning shop, working in garden, checking on chicks and moms since silly hens keep clogging up the water dispensers.

Good thing the days are longer cause I need every minute, LOL.

And people question why we need Universal Health Care.
