What a generous person you are.  Your post opens our eyes to some of the "hidden" issues that are out there.  Plus-sized clothing is most certainly needed and probably not often thought of.  I think I will just have to do some shopping today with that in mind. 

Thank you. 

You're such a good person, 13bodies. I know the people who recieve your donation will really appreciate your kindness. 

What a great post.  I certainly hadn't even thought in that direction and it's so important ... thank you ...g

I went to my semi-local Hobby Lobby on Friday and was pleasantly surprised to find a decent selection of crochet books.  Finally.    I was beginning to feel marginalized, and I'd hate to think my carpal tunnel syndrome was developed in vain. 

Hair:  Yesterday I experimented with Khrome's braided bun variant.  I don't have the hair she does, so I folded the tassel up a little, then folded the whole braid in half, lifted the mass up against my head and slid my tortie Ficcare behind it to fasten it up.  It looked nice but it slid slowly down the back of my head all day long.  The Ficcare ended up at the nape of my neck, but the style still looked good, so I rate it as a winner.     Today it's my basic ear to ear lace braid and simple bun.  I'm wearing my fob to decorate it.

Cats:  Last night I was unpacking a box that had packing peanuts in it and Bogie was sitting on the TV tray watching me.  I put a peanut by his foot and he knocked it off the tray.  I gave him another one and plop!  He knocked off 17 styrofoam peanuts in a row, then when I gave him the 18th, he gave me an exasperated look that said "That is so-o-o-o-o 10 seconds ago." 

Rumpole has decided the best sleeping place in the entire house is up against my pillow.  Where I sleep.  He stares at me reproachfully all night long since I'm hogging his bed.  Ha-ha on him!  After 6 years of being bullied by cats I'm immune to reproachful stares.   8)

Agatha isn't eating again, but she isn't any lighter.  We played with her feather-and-polar-fleece on a stick and she's still pouting because I won't let her jump up on the ironing board.  The fact that she nearly dumped the whole thing over on my head is not a good reason to restrict her movements and she feels that I'm being stubborn simply to annoy her.

Gorey has a bit of an infection behind his left ear, but the skin is in decent shape.  His nose is still cold, his paws are dry and he nearly ate my fingers this morning in his anxiety to reach his food.  I have some Pulvex veternary ointment that I'll try to put on the area this evening.

BPAL:  La Belle au Bois Dormant (plumeria and white pear, Damascus rose, tuberose, magnolia and evening dew)  I'm not a big plumeria fan and I probably wouldn't have bought this, but I got it in a swap.  It's very pretty, floral with a faint fruity background but not too sweet or light.  It lasts reasonably well; I re-applied at noon and I still smell nice now.  I'll try it again, but this seems to be a very strong contender with Alice for my springtime fragrance.

Guess I had a bad day and misread your post. I thought that you HAD TO HAVE this county info and all this other stuff....Sorry

My cat - Smokey - 11 year old grey tiger, sleeps on my pillow with his little paws wrapped around me. Sometimes he claws in my scalp when he's dreaming about big juicy mice. And yes, I do know those stares only 2 well. Hehehe

Aah yes, I saw that LHC thread.  I'm an INTJ.  I think it's actually good to be uncategorized - if you don't fall to either side of the bars, then that means you're  balanced in most areas, and use all those traits when making decisions.

We called UPS to send out the seven boxes of clothes today.  They want the size (height, length and depth) and weight of each box.  The boxes are big and heavy so we estimated them and the nice lady at UPS told us it would cost $700 to send.  So we dragged a scale back here and did what we should have done to begin with and it was $147.22.  Big difference, and that's actually less that I expected.  A couple of my co-workers said they'd kick in to help with shipping, too.  I will be so glad to see the boxes go bye-bye.  Last night I dreamed I was folding a mountain of slippery white blouses and I woke up exhausted.

Simple bun today held with my Winter Sunset Geishastick.  I have a nasty clog in my tub (do ya think it might be hair?  Huh?  Do ya?) and I have to go get some declogger.  My new sticks arrived!  Yay!  I ordered the Meadow Roses FantasyStix and the Rose Frappe DecoStix.  The Meadow Roses have those lentil lampwork beads that I love and the roses are only on one side--the other side is plain green with 3 white dots.  They're reversible!  How cool is that?  I've been fascinated by the Rose Frappe sticks since they were listed and since I had my 10% discount for bidding on the auction I decided it was time to reel those suckers in.  They are GORGEOUS!!  The picture doesn't begin to do them justice.  I loves them, I do.

The cats are in the vanguard of the Evil Army of the Night.  I'm sure they aren't the only ones.  You have been warned.   8)

BPAL:  Jabberwocky (pine, eucalyptus and orange. )  Sharp and cough drop-like at first, then the orange came out and it was a nice piney orange.  Not really me, but pleasant.  Then the pine and eucalyptus killed the orange and aaarrrggghh!!!  Getitoffgetitoffgetitoff!!!  I was already late for work and I didn't have time to wash it off so I slathered on the 2,5, and 7 and the drunken roses slayed the Jabberwock by noon.  My chemistry did terrible things to Jabberwocky; shame too--I love that poem.

took the short test: ENFJ for me. Guess it's somewhat right.

I wouldn't worry to much about this test: you are you 
That's it
