I love to crochet and knit. Last year I was on a knitting binge and my granddaughter wanted to learn how. Now I am quilting and she bought herself a little sewing "craft" machine (she's 11 years old) and is learning to make some...

jarnold51 My sister didn't want to learn either. I couldn't teach her anyway. When we were teenagers, I was teaching piano lessons, I had about 5 students in the neighborhood. (I ended up getting my Bachelor's in piano & voice). Anyway, my mom decided I should teach my...

jarnold51 My granddaughter starts something and doesn't follow through. I'll buy her a kit when I know she'll really do it. Right now it's sewing with her but when it was knitting I bought her some nice yarn and needles and she just "stopped" after a while. So I'm...

I just got a "new" toy. I love it!!! It's a Sony PRS-505, a portable reading system. I saw the Oprah when she gave everyone in the audience a Kindle and I've been wanting one ever since! How many of you have one of the Portable...

jarnold51 The Sony is better than the Kindle. Mainly, it is because with the Kindle you can only download from Amazon, which costs. With the Sony, you can download .pdf and .doc items. There are thousands of books that don't cost a thing in pdf format. Of course, you...

jarnold51 Of course I am as busy as everybody else. But I am a secondary English teacher and as such I am almost "required" to read as part of my job. I love it.

A while ago, I started a discussion that does going to church make one a better Christian. Then I got several responses by people who said that even though they did not go to church, they were good Christians. Now I have read the...

jarnold51 Going to church does not make you a better Christian. Reading the word and lots of prayer is what makes you a better Christian. Following the will of God makes you a better Christian. BUT there is a fellowship you can get from church and worshipping with other...

Hi all, Of course everyone likes to wear branded clothes. And it is the most popular way to waste money. Because most of people want to look cool wearing branded apparel. That's why they spend lot of money for that. I think...

jarnold51 Don't assume "of course everyone" because most people in the world do not prefer brands nor can the vast majority of "everyone" afford them. I, for one, don't give a rip about brands and I don't know too many people who do. I go for fit and style. Going for...

jarnold51 I've done both. Since my son was left home, I've been making him boxer shorts but he told me last year that he has enough to do him for a lifetime. I loved picking out silly fabrics and making them. I've made PJ pants, blankets, quilts, afghans and even a coat...

jarnold51 I had an almost "idyllic" childhood. My dad was a pastor and very busy but my mom was always there for us and we knew Daddy loved us. We were not wealthy with money (what pastor who is not a tv evangelist is?) but we were wealthy in much better ways. I rarely...

jarnold51 I'd go on an around the world cruise (if my husband would go on a cruise -- he's retired Navy and not in a hurry to set foot on another ship). But first, I'd go to Reno to see my son and daughter-in-law and then to Florida to see my step-son and grandson. I'd...

jarnold51 Be sure to get a lawyer of your own. Do not depend on his. My husband did this and got stuck with $1250 ALIMONY per month FOR LIFE! After 6 years and now being retired, we're going to court to fight it but watch out for your own interests and do not sign...

jarnold51 I used to love snow. Then I lived in a ski resort community for 4 years (Mammoth, California). I've now seen all the snow I need to see for the rest of my life! One year we still had enough snow to ski on July 4. They closed down after that day for annual...

jarnold51 He is a slimeball and you deserve better than that. You did exactly the right thing and he's proven that he's been lying to you. Get him totally out of your life. He won't change.
