Guest guest Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 In my mention of "The Poseidon Adventure," I typed Shirley & was going to add the last name when I remembered it, but I forgot & sent the message. It was actually Shelley Winters that I was thinking of. Then I got to wondering about that show with Dick Cavett. First I typed in Dick Cavett & got a screen asking if I wanted the filtered or unfiltered info. Compared to today's celebrities, I didn't think Dick Cavett was that racy. Anyway, I couldn't find the show I was looking for. Next I tried Arlo Guthrie, with no luck. So then I typed in "Dick Cavett gonorrhea tv show." (No screen this time about filtered info. Go figure.) But guess what? Up came "VD Blues!" It was a one-hour PBS special in 1972. I remembered one of the songs, or part of it. Something like, "Don't give a dose to the one you love most, give her some marmelade, give her some toast. You can give her the willies, give her the blues, but the dose that you give her might come back to you!" Do you think I have too much time on my hands today, since I skipped church?

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Forget the knitting for me, . I never was very good at it. The only things I ever finished were a sweater & hat for Sam when she was a toddler. Oh, and a hat for Brad as a baby. I could knit okay, but when I made a mistake, I couldn't figure out how to fix it most of the time. Now crocheting is different! I used to crochet a lot, even afghans, ponchos, scarves, etc. I'd like to try it again. The nice thing about crocheting is that when you realize you've made a mistake, you can just rip it out. I also used to do counted cross stitch, but gave it us years ago because even with reading glasses I couldn't see the little squares well enough & my hands were too shaky. One of these days I'll take a picture of a cross stitch picture I made for my mother-in-law many years ago. It's a map of Texas, with symbols like oil wells, etc., major cities, & all the towns her family/kids lived in. I had a pattern, but added an armadillo, which came out pretty good. I used a picture in a dictionary as the model. That picture & a soft-sculptured old lady in a tin bathtub that I made for her bathroom were the only things I asked for when she died. And somehow I've lost the little old lady. But the cross stitch of Texas still looks good. I miss all the crafts I used to do. With my fingers numb & trembly, I can't work with small stuff anymore. But, Hey! there are still plenty of things I can do.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Rose Crocheting is good too. My mistakes in knitting drive me nuts. Half the time I rip it all out & start all over. I change off between the two every so often when my hands feel stiff. It seems to help & some others in the knitting group do the same. I haven't tried cross stitch in a few years. Same thing with me not sure if I can see good enough. I'm an anal perfectionist when it comes to my crafts! LOL Now my housework.........

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I'm an anal perfectionist when it comes to my crafts! LOL Now my housework......... WE WON'T GO THERE! , I hear you, kid. My family doesn't believe that I'm a perfectionist, because my house is so cluttered. I've tried to explain that it's kind of like, if I can't get it perfect (which I can't), then I won't do it at all. Or I spend a lot time & effort on one small area, like a bookshelf, and keep that perfect. One of the issues that I've had to work on is this gap between what I want to do & what I can do. I have the same problem in my emotional/spiritual life. It seems that there is such a huge gap between the person I want to be, or think I should be, and the person I am. Might just take a few more years of therapy, you think?!? Ramblin' Rose Moderator A merry heart is good medicine. Proverbs 17:22 Learn.Laugh.Share. Reallivemoms is right place!
