I decided to start this as a general checking in thread. I hope it will be fun and apolitical and stress-free.
I went for a walk with a cancer buddy today. It was nice to get out and chat. Spring is here so the walk along the waterfront was lovely. It truly is a great spot. I also need to walk more. Huff puff.
I needed this walk today a neighbour came by looking for my husband who was out golfing. I had the delight of listening to crazy crap. He was quite high and English is his second language. Frankly, he would be hard to understand even if his English was good. Wow. He was trying to promote acid and pot as things to create calm. I’m generally quite good at calm for one thing. I also didn’t need the lecture. I had to tell him I wasn’t interested several times before he left. I was actually uncomfortable with him because he had crazy eyes. I don’t think it would take much to trigger him into being volatile. Thankfully the walk got him out of my system.
Been thinking a bit about reading the entire bible over the next year. I have read the Gospels in detail and discussed most of the material on WC2 at least once.
To do this, I will need to pick up my pace and read 3 chapters each day. I am thinking to do a quick blog type entry daily. What do you guys think of Snoopy’s Bible Study here on this site? Could be fun.
Interesting. I saw that thread but haven’t looked at it.
We had a visioning session at the church on Sunday afternoon. The facilitator had some cool information to trigger discussion. Part of that involved bible passages, including several involving women. It made me want to learn more about those women - Naomi, Ruth and I think Esther. Honestly, I’d have to figure out where bibles might be hiding here…
Oh God. My wife buys more yarn than we can keep. It’s hilarious.
I say nothing. My hobbies are downhill skiing and mountain biking. The amount she spends on yarn is nothing in comparison.
I bought her nice needles once. She was nervous to buy them because they were a hundred bucks? Two hundred? She likes them. They make her happy. She makes the kids sweaters and toques.
She also made me a toque. It’s grey on slightly darker grey. If you look really close, there is a message around the outside of the hat. It reads, “FUCK OFF.”
I love that hat. I got to knit a hat that had fuck cancer in script on it. I chose two colours so that the script was visible but not visible The recipient loved it which made knitting it more fun.
Two hundred bucks for knitting needles???
Wow! My best needles weren’t that expensive but they weren’t cheap either.
I have a couple of pairs made from hardwood which are amazing. They are smoother than metal and make a different sound when you knit. More of a “scritch scritch” than a “clack clack”.
She wants something for knitting? Buy it. In fact, were picking up a yarn order tomorrow from.a store in Shelburne, Ontario tomorrow. She has shopped there before, but now they’re closing down so my wife gets some discount yarn.
Btw, this woman can find discounts and sales like no one else I know.
