Funny, I’ve heard the same thing about knitting v. crochet. I can do both, but highly prefer knitting, and many people say that they couldn’t figure out one but got the other.

I agree. But if the unthinkable happens, just remember Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.

HEY EVERYBODY: I consider myself an expert knitter, but I have seen what it takes to do lace tatting, and it is a skill LIGHT YEARS beyond what I could handle. By which I mean, OH SHIT YOU GUYS, BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU SHARVIN IS REALLY, REALLY TALENTED.

I love how you say “an area of Milwaukee” like that doesn’t describe the whole damn town.

Imagine a corner where there is a bar, and you can walk one block in another direction and be in front of another bar. This describes at least two corners in my (Milwaukee) neighborhood.

God, as a Sconie this scene bugged me so, so much for exactly those reasons.

Yes, that’s what I was trying to get across. Thanks for clarifying.

Also, it says he woudn’t “meet, eat or travel” with a woman by himself.” I know nothing about Billy Grahan, but it doesn’t say he never met with women at all. Meeting with a women’s prayer group, or a leadership group of mixed genders, just making sure there’s another person in the room. Like professors leaving the…

“It’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say “nigger” in public. That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination”

Fellow white person seconding the recommendation for this book. Also recommending reading it as an e-book. If I hadn’t read this on my reader, I would have thrown it across the room in anger every few pages.

Maria Bamford is my spirit animal and my guru. I highly recommend her “Ask My Mom” series on YouTube if you need something to hold you over until the Netflix binge.

Liiiiiiiink. Naow.
