Well...ok I will admit it-I am a newby! And I picked a piece based on my love of the item and not the complex design and what it would entail with my lack of skills. I just figured that there would be someone out there to guide me along my journey of finding myself again in my creativity venture of needlepoint. I love it! <br />Have a wonderful day!<br /><br />DebbieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858404698616913896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-12127233197201388852009-09-02T17:55:44.068-04:002009-09-02T17:55:44.068-04:00Sister Mary I just found your blog today - what a ...Sister Mary I just found your blog today - what a great post and I support you 1000% Just yesterday while filling my tank at the gas station I had to listen to someone in the next aisle explaining divorce details on a cell phone yack yack yack. Why do people have to talk so LOUD on cell phones?? As I was driving away I yelled out the window "WE DON'T CARE!!" I just couldn't resist.....you go girl!<br />P.S. My DH and I rarely go to the movies because of all the issues you mentioned - we prefer being in our own family room just annoying each other.....Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377306162699247372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-88750435241041287542009-08-30T19:07:28.837-04:002009-08-30T19:07:28.837-04:00Just wanted to chime in with my thoughts.

And I have found it is not just the young...but evidently the young at heart who are rude! The stories I could tell! SME, you have your work cut out!

But unfortunately it isn't something new. 14 years and a bit ago I was a young mum with a 6 yr old and a 3 yr old and 9 months pregnant. We took the train out to Heathrow to meet my mil's plane (she was coming to help with the new baby. Silly me thought the boys would enjoy the adventure and we could save on the cab fare there.... I ended up having to stand the whole slamming jolting way there. Not one person thought to offer me a seat. Had my baby the next day.

But the REST of the time I reside in NYC, and if you think there is rudeness in IN, you MUST come visit me in the big apple! There we deal with not so much the citizens, but the tourists. They literally clog the sidewalks (stopping in the middle) and because they are trying to get that camera shot just right, they won't move over so you can pass with your grocery bags or whatever...we don't drive to the shops because there is no where to put a car! And besides the Taxi cabs would run us down!<br />I will set up the ground work for you, and check the costume rental, or even the older churches to see if they have any extra habits.Edyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09891231764552459663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-32709907608198519192009-08-27T11:19:39.330-04:002009-08-27T11:19:39.330-04:00Coni,

I have become ADDICTED to your Blog !!! You have such a lovely way with words, and your photos are great, and of course Stewie is great too. I am in awe of your stitching prowess !

However, I have a little story about how easy it is to make someone's day (bear with me!)<br /><br />Husband comes to mall to meet me after work (he's in his biker outfit, never judge someone by how they look!). He's early (like a good husband!) and goes in to get a coffee. On his way out, in front of him is a 'mature' woman and in front of her, two young men (20's). The young men go through the doors but....this is good.....hold the doors for the mature woman and my husband. The mature woman says "oh two nice gentlemen!". So my husband, not to be outdone, rushes ahead and holds open the next set of doors, smiles big and holds up three fingers saying "three nice gentlemen" (he's a bit cocky).<br /><br />Well as he's sipping his coffee sitting on his bike (waiting so patiently for his wonderful wife) who comes around the corner but the very same mature woman and behind her a shop employee carrying a tv. My husband catches her eye, holds up four fingers and says "four nice gentlemen". The mature woman laughs and says "yes, and all so handsome!".<br /><br />I did mention that my husband is a bit cocky? Without hesitation and with a big grin, he says "That's because you still got what it takes!".<br /><br />I think he just made her day!<br /><br />Wouldn't the world be more wonderful if everyone had fun with manners!

On its own, it's a delightful movie. Everyone was very quiet when we went to see it on a slow Tuesday morning. <br /><br />Though I am considering buying some sidewinder missiles to mount in my car to be used on those that don't use their turn signals or those that pull in front of you at 60 mph when there is less than a car's length between you and the car in front of you. As for the rest...I try to do as much shopping on the internet as I can.

And people who let their kids run wild in the stores? Or the old guy who verbally attacked me in the parking lot because he said I didn't drive an American vehicle? I'll admit to being quite rude right back to him, for all that he was at least 20 years older than me. (I drive a Hyundai, made in the good ole U.
