I had a boyfriend who worked for a pig farmer—even after he showered he smelled like pig poop. I couldn't stand it! Is it any wonder I married a computer software developer???

Your Carhartt boyfriend will probably not have time to whisk you off on tropical vacations if he has livestock and land to look after. He will also be up in the middle of the night during calving/lambing/foaling season and will probably ask you to be assistant midwife. Do you have a strong enough stomach to be a…

Check out the town I grew up in—Northwestern Manitoba. Farmers, forestry workers, general rednecks with calloused hands and dirty boots. You could also take a peek in the oil patch in Alberta. They tend to congregate there as well.

Do you think there is enough yardage for a shawl?? That would be so fantastic!! I was hoping for a cowl at the very least. (I have already seen this season but I will happily watch it again as I knit)

what I would have paid for a Star Trekkian baby transporter....

The picture she posted was so beautiful.

I hope my yarn gets here in time for cast on. Sometimes hopping the border takes SO LONG.

I might need the Downton Abbey tote bag to carry my Downton Abbey yarn around in while I am doing the themed mystery Knit along next month on Ravelry.

That picture just made my day. Thank you for sharing :-)

I think the only way to "protect" your daughter from gender stereotyping is to not put on makeup or carry it around in your purse. My daughter learned how to put on makeup by watching me in the bathroom—not because someone bought her a toy purse full of pretend makeup. My son also sits in the bathroom and looks at…

http://pinterest.com/amightygirl/ the book recommendations on this Pinboard are pretty great—and organized by category. None are specifically for boys, but I am sure you could find something awesome in there

I am waiting for this stuff to show up on the Pinterest, You Are Drunk Blog.

Cool! I will check that out this weekend!

Loved Birdemic. I don't recall Nightmare at Noon. The safety films they do are awesome. My dad was a shops teacher and Shake Hands with Danger had tears coming out of his eyes because he has shown that film to his students so many times. The Harry Potter ones absolutely slay me. (I LOVE Harry Potter, but the…

I'm going to wait for the Rifftrax commentary. It made part 1 HILARIOUS. Hubs and I thought we'd just watch five minutes and get tired of it but darn it, those guys made us sit for the whole thing.

My MIL gives me random cosmetics and bubble bath from the dollar store every year for Christmas. It's horrid. I'd rather she just not bother at all.

I have started giving The Inlaws Who Have Everything photobooks I make at shutterfly or blurb. They always want pictures of their grandchildren and in the age of digital they hardly get any. If you don't have kids or pets to fill a photobook with I recommend a living gift from 10,000 Villages or World Vision. They…
