    Fashion By Women For Women

    September 30, 2011 - By ginny

    This dress would actually look better on a curvy woman. In fact on a true plus-size woman wearing a decent foundation, it would be va-va-BAZOOMS. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15088308

    Thunderstorm over O’Hare – Windy City

    September 29, 2011 - By ginny

    Very, very windy; I’m getting turbulence just sitting in the car! My husband David is coming in in about 25 minutes, probably having a bumpy flight. Signs getting blown a lot, roof on a nearby bus shelter is looking like some trim might blow off. But I’m in a good spot to watch planes land and head over to pick him up; he says he just carried on. Don’t envy him the ride he’s getting… Via: Flickr Title: Thunderstorm over O’Hare – Windy City By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 29 Sep ’11, 5.48pm CDT

    Which Came First: Running Chicken Nebula Or Fried Egg Yellow Hypergiant Star?

    September 28, 2011 - By ginny

    First came the “Running Chicken” nebula, and now comes a cosmic “Fried Egg.” A European telescope has captured the best image yet of one of the rarest classes of stars in our universe, and astronomers playfully point out that the cosmic scene resembles an egg white around a yolky center. via Fried egg nebula: European telescope captures image of monster star [VIDEO] – CSMonitor.com.

    The Attack of … Space Squirrel!

    September 28, 2011 - By ginny

    Lots to blog in small, short bursts… we’re back from vacation and it’s been several days already, and the blog-kage is starting to give. David is out of town on business, and was a little bummed that he had to leave on Monday after we only arrived home on Sunday evening. He hasn’t even seen Rileycat yet; we boarded the cat at the vet for the trip and I couldn’t pick him up until after work on Monday, several hours after David left again from O’Hare. If you don’t have a headset, microphone or speakers, you can still use Skype…

    Cop Death Likely Due to Cleaning Product Fumes, Stonewalling By State?

    September 28, 2011 - By ginny

    I’d really like to know if the product blamed for causing this tragedy is a regular commercially available spray; my officemates use Lysol like room freshener, but it may have been an industrial strength spray.

    OK! Which of my family members did the Undie Run in Salt Lake? Admit it, youse guys.

    September 28, 2011 - By ginny

    In a local protest against “uptight” local laws and Utah mores, up to 3,000 people ran, walked, or jogged in their underwear in downtown Salt Lake City.

  • Insurance season is almost over, thank Dog

    Avoid health sharing plans, they're not that great a deal. A friend had one while getting some pretty serious treatment, and he struggled to get the care he needed.

    Elisabeth Yoder and her son Darragh recently experienced a huge gap in their health care "coverage." They stand in  front of the family home, and they belong to a Christian "health sharing" plan that didn't reimburse for a recent ambulance ride.

  • Charm Patch Quilt: On Point

    From Sew Can She - this looks like a great way to use up charm squares and scraps that can be at least 4 1/2-5 inches square. The contrast fabric and on-point arrangement add good visual interest without being too busy.

  • Tea Towel Hems

    Bought some tea towels for gifts, looking for tutorials for adding colorful hanging cuffs after hemming.

    I lean toward Method 1, mitred corners. Will decide once the towels arrive in case the selvage edges are good quality.

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”
