    How to find unread emails after updating to iOS 7 on the iPhone: simply type "Unread"…

    September 24, 2013 - By ginny

    How to find unread emails after updating to iOS 7 on the iPhone: simply type "Unread" into the inbox search field for either all inboxes, or specific inboxes. After the update apparently the mail app looks at your entire account; if like me you don't delete everything once it's read, you might have dozens of "unread" emails dating back years. I had 3 pesky emails in 2 accounts that had been marked unread, and after wrestling with it and not getting a good answer from the fount of Google knowledge, I finally just gave up and typed "unread" in search…

    Yet more evidence that Pat Robertson is an evil old scumbag, yet still gullible people send him money to finance African "relief efforts" that only relieve Africa of its diamonds and gold. Mission Congo: how Pat Robertson raised millions on the back of a non-existent aid project The televangelist claimed Operation Blessing was giving vital aid in response to the 1994 Rwandan crisis. A documentary opening at the Toronto film festival paints a less flattering picture View this post on Google+

    August 2, 2013 - By ginny

    This: we've visited Estes Park many times over the years, and I'd always wondered about the design of the Park Theater, which has a distinctive square tower that doesn't appear to have any function other than being decorative (it kind of looks like the kind of towers old firehouses have for drying hoses). This NPR story from KUNC had a lot of interesting detail about the theater, and about their 100th Anniversary celebration. Looks like a good time! http://kunc.org/post/estes-park-landmark-celebrates-100-years Estes Park Landmark Celebrates 100 Years View this post on Google+

  • 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”
