Politics

This will be Jon's first contribution to this blog. Here's his story.

While at work I was talking to a friend about the election and she confessed to know little. I told her that I thought we had two of good candidates running for office and that she should do some research to make an informed choice. About ten minutes later I heard her conversing with a nurse, a mid-thirties blonde, about politics. The nurse exclaimed in vehement sincerity several of the following points:

• Did you know every year Hillary Clinton is invited to the meetings of the secret international organization, the Elitists?

• Did you know that Hillary Clinton helped embezzle drug money and that hundreds of her associates are either missing or have been killed in assassination style attacks?

• Did you know that McCain divorced his wife and married a stripper?

• Did you know Barack Obama went to a Muslim school from ages two to twelve?

Now rife with terror my friend asked, “Where can I look this up?”

Confidently the nurse replied “NorthernBorder.com”

Well...check it out. NorthernBorder.com

The kinds of people who shop at Joann's

While perusing fabric on Joann's website, I wondered how it would be used. Some comments read:

I used my fabric to make a medieval reenactment tunic, hood and cape. It has a nice "period" look, without costing an arm and a leg! The fabic has a really nice drape to it. I was very pleased and would love to see this fabric in a bunch of colors!!!!! And LOTS of it, as most medieval costumes take a lot of fabric!

and

I've used this fabric for summer cloaks. It hangs beautifully. It does not look cheap as some broadcloth cloaks do. It is well worth it. It exceeded my expectations.

Really? I don't know if I'm more upset about making a cloak or wearing it in the summer.

Jon and I moved about a month ago, and since we had a party last night it was finally clean and decorated enough for me to take pictures. Enjoy the domesticity of my past month or so.
