    G+: The Steamlands of Second Life

    March 2, 2013 - By ginny

    This article about places in Second Life where I spend a lot of time really tickled me. Embedded Link My Second Life: Steampunking in the Steamlands | Metaverse Mod Squad One of the first things I discovered about Metaverse Mod Squad that really turned me on to the company was that it was born and raised, so to speak, in Second Life.

    This is the mopey post showcasing my awesome command of goof that I failed to link properly before, due to my less than awesome command of Google. Unfortunately I bet it appears back on my blog, because recursion. To my fellow goofy girls: embrace your awesome. Accept yourself and accept others.

    Where are all the ancient Viking malt brewing houses? We know they drank ale; archeologists now think the "bath houses" located next to the drinking halls were actually "brew houses." So no, the Vikings were not into bathing, they were into brewing!

    Dozens of clothing racks marked CLEARANCE!!! full of winter wear in what is normally the home and garden area at our local Sears. All decor stripped from the walls, lots of bare spots showing wear and tear. Are they getting ready to remodel and paint, or is it on the way out? Google+: View 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”
