That's a good reason ... I'm not exactly known under this name or any other, though. I don't publish anything or have that kind of career. But good for her! Thanks!

Partially is coz I'm still close to his family. I wouldn't want to hurt their feelings, or make it seem like I was severing ties. I think I'm going to keep it. Thank you!

Good thoughts. I like you.

That's an awesome way of handling it!

All good advice; thank you.

1. Thank you.

I like it. Thank you!

Especially if you're foil fencers!

Hey, don't knock knitting doilies and pressing flowers! That shit is DOPE.

I'm always grey. :-(
And I'm ALMOST DONE with the shawl. I'm about 2/3rds done with the edging!

And yet, I love that suit madly. Of course, stylistically, I AM a civil war widow. And I do love to knit.
