The Old Folks Home

[dsqard]

SCG I have seen drive through liquor stores in Texas and in Arizona. I think one in Utah would cause some conniptions. As it is, the state liquor stores here don't open until 11AM and close I think at 7PM. Yeah you can party here but it has to be planned out well.

Chicken tiaras!

I have some divas and I think I should be able to buy them little bitty tiaras somewhere, but apparently that's a product not YET available anywhere.

Gosh I wish I was handy at crafts, but I am dangerous with crafting tools. I glue my fingers together, burn myself with the hot glue gun, pierce myself with wire and pins, find sequins in the most <I>amazing</I> places later on... Whole hosts of difficulties.

Who here feels silly and interested enough to make Hen Diva Tiaras for me?

Linda, that sounds like a great contest for one of the hatch-a-longs. You could offer a GFM to the winner under the condition that all entries become the propety of the sponsor!

Tiny tiaras!!! Too cute.

Forecast has been upgraded here. I was already thinking of keepin ghte kids home from school, and of course feel guilty but I really didn't want the storm to hit and worry while my kids were bussed hom. School saved me from myself and at 2 the automated message confirmed my worry. Love the new super, she is on the ball.

Looking at about 24-30 inches. How will the chickens handle all this snow!!! This time I am actually considering snow blowing a bit of area for them . Crazy me.

You'd be in good company

. I snowblow or shovel after each storm for them. It gets their cute fuzzy butts out of the coop - less mess for me.



Linda, I think you need to make these tiaras. Or we need you to make them and then tell your story to us. With lots of pictures, please.

Was wondering if I could talk dh into going to the moulton festival only to realize the date. Hmm maybe he would like to honeymoon in moulton.

Oh, THANK you! Now I need to see it on a model.

I have been thinking on this, but the story would be full of all the mishaps along the way. (Thats probably what y'all are hoping, right?). I'm not sure the end result would be usable, either. However, bamachick has already triggered some ideas for me.

Hey, where did my multi-quote bit from Wisher go??? That's the best suggestion and it was the first. Maybe I can do this to get some ideas (and hopefully clear instructions)!

There's a bit of a backstory on this.... When I was in treatment for breast cancer, I felt pretty crappy. Duh. The Miss America Pageant happened to be broadcast on TV just after I was diagnosed (and silently terrified). I fixated on the tiaras. Suddenly, I felt I deserved one of my own, so I went spelunking on the Internet to try to find one made of real rhinestones (not felt, sequins, plastic, none of that. A REAL tiara!) - this was in 2003. Found one, finally, bought it and sat around wearing it fairly regularly... At home. I did wear it a couple of times seated on scarves, once I lost my hair. It wasn't the kind with combs, but a full circle to rest on one's head; I had considered those bald days when I ordered it. Because I'd mentioned it to my oncology team of specialists, each of them requested I wear it for them at least once. Those were actually great days, during three of my chemo infusion cycles, during the last week of radiation treatment, and in my surgeon's waiting room and office for a follow-up exam after the port a-cath was removed from my chest.

That tiara was unfortunately destroyed subsequent to the mad furniture move to this property, as it had been draped over a post on the headboard of my old bed (which didn't get moved). It was forced into a box with other miscellaneous items; that box got run over. That crumpled box was left out in the rain up here.... And the ducks liberated the bent out of shape tiara.. The geese carried it into their kiddie pool!

There are now many, many more rhinestone tiara vendors on the 'Net, now. I'm going to replace it. Every woman deserves a tiara.

Now... Rhinestones and metal would be too heavy for chickens. But some of them, too, deserve their own tiaras!

I wouldn't trust mine on a chickens head but I was bored.
That's a great story I hope you get your new one soon

That is a great story. Thanks for sharing. Having gone through the trials and tribs of chemo treatment with my mother, I can certainly see how that tiara was an important part of your recovery and handling of the situation.
