I really should just stick to posting in my own threads. I posted in that thread about weird people, and I think that was ok, but I was worried for a while that it was going to be locked down. In one thread asking about what your job is, I posted that I was a "Big, dumb bunny..." That thread got locked down because there was another thread about the same thing. I think I should have written "big, dumb, gardening bunny,"and that would have made a little more sense because I also put that I am an artiste. I hope I wasn't the reason it got locked down because my post is the last post before Mike1 posted that the thread was locked and go to the other thread... But now I'm the big, dumb bunny... Guess that's ok, please don't pick me up by the ears.

It's kind of cold and rainy today. At least it was raining all night and early this morning. It kind of makes things depressing outside...

Hi String, I went and found that thread and my post. Here it is:

I'm sure they have you covered on the patern in the following posts; I don't know anything about knitting. Um... String.

That link should take you to that thread.

I think I will go to the grocery store this weekend. I want to get those giant oatmeal cookies, and I am almost out of honey. Bee milk... Still eating several citrus fruit each day. It rained on and off all day, so I wasn't much of a garden bunny.

Ya, that's what I'll do, go to the store this weekend. Get some oatmeal cookies, and some more honey. I was making a bunch of bear sculptures last year, and I would look at the different styles of honey squeez bears at the stor as models. I have a collection of empty squeeze bears in my studio now.

BTW, my family has always called me "Bear," so I guess it all fits together somehow.

They locked down the weird people thread... I don't think I caused that though.

I doubt it

Thanks for posting, String. I think I'll wait to go to the store until tomorrow or Monday.

I have been posting in the "Marmite" thread. Kind of just thinking through what I would put marmite on... I might try to find a jar; it's not that bad on stuff. Someone suggested oatcakes, and I thought that sounded like a good plan.

I've been reorganizing all the recipes on my computer, and I did see a recipe for snicker doodles. It's always nice to think about snicker doodles... Or giant oatmeal cookies with marmalade or any number of yummy things on them. Or even just plain.

It's funny, I saw a thread on thick kilt hose just a few minutes ago, and I almost posted, but it was like, why bother. I like thick hose, but I wear sandals, no hose, in the summer. In fact, I kind of like extra thick hose, or for casual, extra thick knee high socks, scrunched or un-scrunched. The thick ones are like woolly lam's legs. I don't wear the pure white hose, but go with the cream and that kind. I plan on getting brown, also gray, and a few other colors. I like wearing the kind of sandals that have straps around the ankles with my kilts, but other kinds are ok too. I try to keep things nice... not falling apart or ratty looking. I guess it all depends on the theme of the outfit and event. Kind of glad I didn't post anything there.

Yeti likes tall boot socks more than anything.

I've never had marmite, sounds like something I wouldn't like from what I've heard of it.

**Bugbear** · 16th February 08, 06:27 PM

Yes, boot socks would work pretty well. Like I said, I like woolly lamb leg hose, but also knee high extra thick socks.

Marmite!

A sheep wearing a kilt...

I got all my cooking files and recipes organized, so I hope that will help.

Somehow, I managed to avoid posting in the hose thread... I do have my own hose thread though. It was the hose to wear for gardening thread that ended up indirectly leading to this thread. Actuly, this thread came streight out of the marmalade thread now that I think about it...

It's funny, I can't read those smily things in someone's post unles I reply to the post, and look at the quote from the post. It just doesn't show up. I'm probably missing a bit of the meaning of a lot of the posts...

Okay Ted, I'm hoping this is not a sensitive question to ask, but it's something I've been wondering about, so forgive my curiosity.

Are you totally blind or partial?
I ask because you seem to have a real good grasp of colors etc for someone who's blind. Hence my curiosity.

Again please forgive me if my question is a wee bit sensitive.
(& yes, I used smilies )

That's no big deal. I'm totally blind. I had normal vision until I was twelve, so I've seen and know colors. The other side of that is that I am an "ARTISTE" and have to know about colors and important technical stuff like that. Um... pictures and things pop up in my imagination as we talk about them oras I think about things, so there's always pictures going on in my mind.

Hmm, I can yous a smily, like that, but still cant see it in the post until I edit it... Oh well, it's kind of funny.

I chose a while back to educate myself on the seasonal skin tone color types that I keep talking about. I happen to be a pail summer skin tone type, so I have to avoid oranges, purples, and yellows, as well as, most reds. Thos are mostly fall and spring skin tone types. I found out the hard way because in school on up into highschool, my mother kept slipping bright orange and yellow colored shirts in my pile because she likes the colors bright orange and yellow. She still doesn't quite understand that just because she likes those colors and looks alright in them, doesn't mean that everyone looks good or likes them.

Thanks Ted
