What scared me was my grandfather was only a year older than me when he had his first heart attack, then again he made Don Draper look like a light weight when it came to drinking and smoking two things I don't do. Sorry I'm freaking out a bit being told your high risk for heart attacks because of a clotting disorder…

I've just always been the good little patient, doing what the doctor says, and all of a sudden I hate it, I just won't go. Tonight my husband dragged me out of the house. He was convinced I was about to drop dead. He kept saying if I was complaining it had to be bad. I never tell him when I'm in pain. I feel like I…

Is any one still up? I just got back from the ER. I started having really bad chest pain around 6 down my left arm and tightening in my back, with tingling. I didn't want to go to the hospital but Mr.leaves made me go at 10. We just got back, I felt so silly going. But the ER doctor told me it was better to get…

I love your shop!

Cotton has the smallest staple out of any industrially used fiber, if you can get the fibers as long as cotton you can do it. I've seen people had spin incredibly thin cotton thread, they had practiced a lot, but I'm sure you can find a way!

Thats what i was thinking since the sheeps wool comes off more as a solid sheet, but the goat hair will come off as individual hairs.

Don't send it, as much as it doesn't seem like it it gives him more power over you by showing how vulnerable you were. He knows he's a dick but he doesn't care. Write it out and burn it, along with everything else, every photo letter etc. it'll feel good!

See relax, don't panic everything will be ok. And bring a good book the other day I got into a great conversation with a Vietnam vet about the book I was reading, never would have happened if I rushed out of there. You are going to be ok.

Silk is sooo easy to dye, let me go drag out my dye charts from the closet. Ok, Natural dyes for silk are great and you can buy most of these on line or harvest them out side are: clutch (w/wo mordant), Osage orange, Brazilwood (w/wo mordant), Black Walnut, Madder, Elderberries, Cochineal*, Alkanet, Alder, Onion,…

Don't worry about the cell, when you get to the doctor tell them whats going on, that you don't have a phone and a waiting for a ride. They will let you use their phone. Last week I waited 3 hours, in a waiting room for Mr.Leaves to pick me up, I don;'t drive. Doctors are very understanding. Bring a book, and the…

The goat hair I used was pre-washed, but I'm sure it wouldn't be to hard to wash it. Do you have carding paddles? I'm sure you do, since your a spinner. Just collect as much hair as possible, by brushing or trimming the goats. I like a mixed color so that the yarn changes all the way through, but you could separate it…

I've never spun cat tail fiber, my favorite thing to spin oddly enough it goat hair. It just stay together so beautifully and I love the colors. It just makes for a beautiful rug. But it is really rough, I once got to spin a little bit of inner wool from a water buffalo and it was like silk! I guess I like wooly…

The closest class I had was the history of homosexuality, which was amazing! We studied the difference berween how homosexuality was viewed in the ancient world, specifically in Greece and Rome compared to today. The best part was our teacher had been an Evangelical Christian in his youth. Who later came out as gay.…

Welcome to Jezebel, and congratulations for taking control of your life. I know it feels really hard to leave that relationship but from what you described it really seems like the best thing for you in the long run. And there is nothing wrong with having candy for dinner after a break up, it's comfort food. For me…

I went to the mall this afternoon down south and was sooo confused when I saw a bunch of these signs. I will admit I've been staying away from this entire Kony business as much as possible, but the signs, they were really weird.

That sounds perfect, since they are a little pricey for one set. Glad to know they work is well!

Has anyone tried the Sally Hansen nail polish strips? I've been tempted to get them but they look like they might peel right off. Positive, negative reviews anyone?

The polka dots are sooo cute, I may actually try to do them and I can't remember the last time I did my nails.

thats wonderful, so happy for you guys!

Ohhh try to get a. Oven microwave combo if you can fit it. I love ours, it just takes up so much less space having the microwave up top.
