I know how to tie a bow, does that count.
Can you tie one of these?
That looks like a monkey's fist with chain. I think the chain that's been rolling around in the back of my truck for a few years looks like that but I couldn't do it on purpose

Dan.. It all seems like such an easy thing, yet at the same time it's so difficult.
It's cliché, but "Why can't we all just get along?"..
I've had a good amount to drink tonight (D@mn that new keezer! Worse than Lays potato chips), so I won't get all deep with religion, faith, and belief. I'll just say... Everyone in this thread is alright by me! You're all a bunch of good folks, and I'm glad to know ya'!
BobbiLynn, I think it's pretty great that your son wants to sew and make his own stuff! Lot of kids would just ask their parents buy them the costume, not put their own work into making it. You must be a pretty good mom BobbiLynn.. maybe a hard a$$ mom. That's good.

I've had a few to many beers tonight too. Right now this song seems golden.

You remind me a little of my mom BL. Being poor teaches you some important things.My kids have never asked me to buy them a costume, they asked me to help them make costumes. When they were little, we'd talk about what they wanted to be for Halloween and always made our own costumes. One year, it was really fun, a friend and I and her kids and mine all dressed up like M & Ms. Everyone got to choose there own colors and the costumes doubled as pillows. A couple of the kids still have their M & M pillows.
I was never a great mom, at least according to outsiders. My kids were never babied or coddled. They knew where money came from and how you earned it by age 5. People say I was too rough on them. They had to help earn grocery money if they wanted to eat. I was told many times I was expecting too much from them, ease off, let them be kids. But, they were kids, be kids all you want once the work is done!! Heck, when work was done, I'd be a kid with them!! Work hard, play hard!
My three boys spend a lot of time "helping" me with projects. The oldest is going on eight so they are not really much help but they are learning and love power tools
Man, the cold has got to be messing with my rice wine. Here is a batch of red rice wine, and oolong rice wine at two weeks. Both have been made with Jasmine rice. Here's a picture of an experiment with different grains I did at two weeks. The jasmine rice in this experiment is second from the right.

Well... I've had my share. Gotta install cabinets tomorrow, so... Nighty night my friends!
Thanks Dan. They really are my inspiration. I'm trying to fix up my grandparent's old house for the family. It's a lot of work but will be worth it in the end. It's right across the street from school and much bigger than our little house we're in now. I figure the three of them should be able to tote a sheet of drywall up the stairs right?
I even sewed most of their clothes and they weren't embarrassed at all by it. I would let them pick out the "cool" fabrics and colors they wanted. My daughter was one of the best dressed kids at the school. I remember walking her to class one day and a little boy behind us, said, look, Mom, that's the girl who always looks like a bride, isn't she pretty? My daughter loved lacy, pretty things, so that's what I would make for her.
Ah, now I am rambling on and on again, I miss my kids. Hopefully both of them will be taking the trip to Pennsylvania with me in August. Son is definitely going and we are going to make a week of it. My daughter stays so busy, hasn't given a definite answer yet. She says August is sooooo far away.... she is young.
That's a sweet story Bobbie. I was never embarrassed by the clothes my Mom made for me either. I did hate the brown bell bottom courderoys my grandma used to buy for me though.
When I started making all of my daughter's clothes, my son got jealous. Sometimes for boy's clothes, it was cheaper to just buy them. But when I realized he was jealous, started making his too. They grew up in Florida, so it was mostly T-shirts and shorts for him, in the "cool" fabric he wanted.

This might be better well played another night but I'm in retro mode and going to bed in a minute.
Live. The Logical Song Roger Hodgson with Orchestra. You won't hear music like this from today's artist. Good or bad. Times change but this will always be classic.

Some nights are like that for me too, like a crack fiend trying to get another hit. Usually when I am trying to figure something out and waiting for help.

BobbiLynn said:Oh, and both of them think I was a great mom and know that I did my best. They appreciate that and we are very close even now that they are both grown. So to hell with what other people thought!

Best memories in my life were working on projects with my dad. You're doing it right Ischavio. The best of days!
