I honestly have no explanation. It looks like it's out of print, but that doesn't explain why it's so expensive. I get most of my recipes free from allrecipe. :rolleyes: The only recipes that I pay for, are from Cooks Illustrated. Yes it's unnecessary, but I love that silly magazine. No...

What's "Fix-a-Flat"? Someday I will learn how to change a flat tire, but in the mean time, does that stuff make the tire so you can drive a little ways? I'm never very far from civilization, so all I have is a standard emergency car kit. Our electric company sold them at a good price. It has...

Oh gosh, there's so much! And I can't even do the chickens, or gardening stuff yet! Make your own soap from scratch, then use the soap to make your laundry soap! Make bread, your own snack food such as granola, make gifts by sewing or knitting or crafting, reduce how often you eat out (and...

My mom still hasn't called back! I called the home line, and the business line! At this hour, someone should be in the office. No answer at either. I'm getting worried now. When I talked to her yesterday morning she said my step-dad was calling, she would call me back later. :/ This is the down...

Arg. Talked with potential landlady today. She had some questions that I need my parents to answer, like will they be directly paying her, etc. Reasonable questions, as I have no employment at the moment, so she needs to make sure I can pay rent. But my mom hasn't called me back! I even left a...

I did nothing for my graduation, and didn't want to. I went to the "low key" school, though. There are two high schools in my hometown, one preppy, the other hippie. We always looked at the other school with disdain. Why is it so hard for them to understand that social class in high school...

I find crocheting easier then knitting, and faster too. I really like the look of knitting, especially lacework and cabling. Crocheting comes in handy if you forgot about a present for someone, you can make a scarf in an evening. Yay for cheap Lion Brand Homespun yarn! It doesn't show mistakes.

When I worked at Joann's I would constantly use pencils to show people how I knit. When I do cables I never use the special bent cable needle, just a spare double pointed needle. You can use whatever you want!

Tankshill- I think the cords make each size needle into circular needles! I adore these needles because when you take a break, you can shove your work onto the cord, and not worry that your CAT is going to pull apart your project. Btw, he has no interest in the yarn itself. I only buy the bamboo...

I think she means more than one double pointed needle. I failed miserably at socks myself. I can knit in a circle easy enough, and do the heel, but turning the gusset is impossible for me. This is coming from me, though, who needs someone to walk me through it in slow motion. Also, I learned a...

Wow! I had to take a class to learn... Trying to learn from books, or even videos was absolutely beyond me. I needed the teacher to literally take my hands and move them for me, before I understood what was going on. :he Now everytime you see some nice yarn you'll want it, and develop a nice...

Omg, I'm so going to try this! If it goes well, I will strain it and try to imitate my favorite kind of yogurt. The regular thinner stuff to me, is something to add to other stuff, not eat alone. Maybe too many years of eating it for lunch in school? But I love Greek Gods Honey yogurt. It...

Thanks Justusnak! Your splurge is at least cheaper... I tried out the bubble bath, it's great! The scent is not overpowering, nice and light. I had a different brand that when you got out of the bath you wanted a shower because you smelled so strong! Saw this in a magazine "Healthy Snacks for...

Last night I didn't want much, so I just ate asparagus raw, plain. I'd never eaten it before, but it came in my produce bin, so I had to. It's yummy.

Hey from your southern neighbor, Bellingham! It's 61 right now. Boring and overcast. I'd rather be too cold then too hot, so I'm not complaining. Something that I do regularly that never fails to get strange looks, is when it's a particularly miserable day (cold, drizzling, and dark) to breeze...

Ended up putting in an application for the triplex. Went to see in later in the afternoon, and it's not as dark then. It was also a typical cloudy/misty day. It was so much better than the duplex that we almost got, though. Everything was clean and, though old, at least maintained. Some well...

It's supposed to be in the upper 50s, lower 60s all week. Seattle had a record low of 42 today. This year, it seems like whatever the rest of the country is like, the north west is the total opposite. We had a record WARM winter, while everyone else was digging out from the snow!

Went to see a possible place today. Mixed feelings. The price is right, $725, 2 bedrooms, non-attached garage, RIGHT in town, wood burning fireplace. But it's DARK DARK DARK!. Windows all face west, and I went to see it in the morning. I should really go and see it later today. The dark is most...

All this talk of ticks made me curious. I've never seen one. So I googled "ticks." sldkfhsjhjlk *shudder* I wish I hadn't. :(

I've distracted myself by collecting things that are sure to make me smile. Data from Star Trek! (And Star Trek in general) Calvin and Hobbes! I won't post a pic, since I know the author fought against commercializing his comic. Instead I will quote it! Calvin: Another thing to remember...
