I've said in the past that I HATE to quilt. Well, I lied! A very prolific quilter told me about this stuff called 505. It's sticky spray that is designed for fabric and eliminates the need for basting. Spray it on, slap the quilt top, batting & back together and VOILA! your quilt is ready to quilt!

I didn’t watch the Grammys. (Hello! Premier of The Walking Dead!) I actually haven’t watched the Grammy awards since they decided that Rock ‘N Roll died. (Yeah, I know. AC/DC opened the show. BFD. They threw us Rockers a bone.) In spite of sounding like an old fart – hip-hop, rap, pop, etc. aren’t genres that I like, nor want to listen to it. I like Rock ‘N Roll.

Are y'all as disgusted as I am that advertisements are using talking loogies to promote their product? Talking cartoon roaches getting murdered seems mild by comparison now. I really have no words.

We
will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on
them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is
New Year's Day.

Recently, my daughter and I attended a book signing by our favorite author in Orlando.
Kim Harrison has written The Hollows Series. Thirteen books about witches, demons, vampires, werewolves, elves and pixies or as the friend who introduced me to the series said, “A gay man’s fantasy!” I got my daughter hooked on them and she wanted more than anything to attend a nitebyrdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04967190902623933068noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816289202422790791.post-57681516326258819532014-10-31T00:30:00.000-04:002014-10-31T00:30:01.088-04:00nitebyrdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04967190902623933068noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816289202422790791.post-16157864744800596922014-08-31T12:53:00.000-04:002014-08-31T12:53:53.546-04:00Labor DayMost of us don't like going to work every day.

In honor of Labor Day, here's a tragedy that makes going to an office five days a week, 8 hours a day, almost like going to a party.
What makes the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire more tragic is that while most American factories have improved their conditions, the majority of overseas factories haven't.&nitebyrdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04967190902623933068noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816289202422790791.post-14527608665453093192014-08-21T11:27:00.000-04:002014-08-21T11:27:41.634-04:00When dreams become nightmares.
As usual, I'm right on top of current events. But in this case I'm cutting myself some slack. Robin Williams suicide hit me like a tsunami. I was overwhelmed. He was and will remain one of my favorite actors and human beings.

Hi! How y’all doing? Yeah, it’s been awhile.
I’ve just found out I have severe sleep apnea! No wonder I’m exhausted all the time! I had a sleep study done either in 2009 or 2010 but the doctor that ordered it never followed up so I figured I was good to go. Mulder has told me I breathe weird when I’m sleeping and that I snore like Godzilla.&nitebyrdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04967190902623933068noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816289202422790791.post-20786569070050931132014-03-31T12:08:00.002-04:002014-03-31T12:08:55.621-04:00March, trees, lions - Oh!

Forget the lion, for me March was the tree and I was the antelope!
While most of what went on this month didn’t happen to me, it definitely affected me. Being
in a zombielike state, you’d think that I could just cruise along
without so much as a by your leave but for some reason, anxiety just
never goes dormant. (Oh! Speaking of zombies!

My son informed Mulder and me that we ruined his life because we were too good, too generous and didn't show him how cruel real life is.
For anyone out there that is feeling sad because you don't have children, I want to punch you in the throat.

In
the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians
called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah'
and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People
passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy
Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!'
