Just stopping by to say, hi. The internet is not yet up. The guy didn’t come to reinstall. So Tuesday maybe life will go back to something sort of normal.
No streaming. Just commercial TV. Lots of Rampage, San Andreas, Dr. Oakley.
They finally got our new landline up. Hopefully those who need the number got it. Let me know if I forgot you.
Have a great Thursday!
Isn’t it amazing how little honest communication comes out of companies supposedly dedicated to communication? (My husband has been on the phone texts and emails trying to get Internet and answers about when the service person would be here. ALL DAY FOR TWO DAYS! And the job won’t be done until Tuesday!)
Somehow I am out of room for a picture. It was of the middle panel of the afghan. It stretched from my toes to my hips. It was to show how much fabric one Yarnspirations Caron Jumbo skein creates. That’s 12 oz./340 g. Or 595 yards. One more skein to finish the middle panel. Then I’ll get the side panels finished.
Another note. I’m ready to go analog. We spent the day getting rid of Hughes Internet. They have been untruthful. We’ve not been able to do Zoom or anything else since we joined them. Half the time, no Internet at all.
Now that we’re back with Century Link we had to get a new phone number. None of it works until Thursday or Friday. Ugh!
I’m so glad we have DVDs. And that I can do most things ever so uncomfortably, on my cell. Just tell my eyes and fat fingers how much we rely on them.
Picture my cartoon self on the floor with the caption ‘I can’t even!’
My Planet: Finding Humor in the Oddest Places by Mary Roach
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The world is far too serious. A person needs to step away and see the humor where they can. Here is a step in the right direction.
Have you read Mary Roach’s Stiff? If so, you will need no pushing to pick this up. Ms. Roach has the best sense of humor. This is a dangerous book if you are attempting to be quiet while your partner sleeps. I almost blew a gasket, trying to prevent the laugh-out-loud experience.
I wasn’t thrilled with narrator Angela Dawe’s voice, but I got used to it, and she had a handle on the reader or listener’s funny bones. Mary Roach just told stories about her life, or her take on life, and I can guarantee these situations you have lived through and had similar thoughts but maybe didn’t laugh as hard as the stories caused.
Though this was an Audible, I bet you could pick this up at the library. Give yourself a break for joy.
The Vampire Knitting Club Boxed Set, Books #1-3 by Nancy Warren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh, boy!!! This was so much fun!!! I’ve already picked up the next box set of three books. Sarah Zimmerman, the narrator, made this story even more fun.
Though we had vampires, there was no blood-sucking. And though knitting was part of the story, no patterns were given. Though for some of us, that would be fun to try, I think that would steal the magic from the story. And not all crocheters are saints! That’s all I’m saying about that.
And you don’t have to be a knitter or a vampire lover to love these stories. Just be ready for magic.
Per Linda:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “tune.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Something that has always fascinated me are the tunes we learned in toons.
Found on Facebook. Shared because even I need the reminder.
