SHQ Show & Tell, second toe done, Janice's yellow brick road

Grocery costs = higher

Homeowner Insurance = higher

Electronics = higher

Energy costs = higher

Toys = higher

Net worth of billionaires = higher

But the guy who picks the blueberries is the problem.

There is only one party banning books, banning the teaching of history, banning the teaching of black history, banning museum exhibits, censoring speech, threatening broadcasters, and forcing religious iconography on children. It is the Republican Party and they have no respect for our Constitution, our country’s founding principles, or your freedoms.

Wednesday morning (9/17) Michael took the dog for a walk while I video chatted with Janice.  Marvella swung by after that to drop off a new quilt…and take home half a loaf of fresh baked (still slightly warm) bread :~): 

Then I spent an hour on the computer, since once again my AMAZON account has been breached and someone is trying to order a gift card.  This happened just a few months ago and I changed my password….of course, you’re dealing with AI on the chat….so you can’t get an answer to the question ‘’how does this keep happening’’. 

I changed my password yet again…and found out that my computer has apparently sent out EVITE EMAILS again!!!  It’s a virus….can’t get rid of it…I heard from 2 people…one hadn’t opened it and was questioning whether I really sent it…one had opened it, which means their computer is infected as well now  :~(.  My computer guy explained....I don't have the virus anymore, but when it first infected my computer...they captured ALL of my email contact addresses and kept them....so they can continue to send out emails :~(. That led to a pretty depressing day. 

I got binding made for the brown curvy rectangles and started the quilting on my baby quilt:

before joining my honey for dinner and TV.

*********************************

I had surgery on my other big toe Thursday morning (9/18):

before heading off to quilting.  I’m sure I was like a drill sergeant for some of the time as I had 2 students from my chandelier class that just didn’t seem to be making any progress…luckily, I think they were both well on their way to finished quilt tops by the time I left :~).  We had some good show and tell:

I spent the afternoon with my foot propped up, reading in the living room, and Michael and I finally celebrated his return home from Kiawah Island with champagne and puffy things:

and the finale of THE GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW for season 12.  Can’t wait to start the new season…but we might wait until all of the episodes are out there.

***************************************

I spent most of Friday morning (9/19) on my computer…cleaning up all manner of things.  My honey brought me a smurfy breakfast:

before heading out to lunch with the guys, and then the library, CVS, the grocery store and to work out.  After I got done with my computer work, I picked up another UFO that has been cluttering up my sewing tables: 

This just needs to be measured and labeled, and have a binding made….and that got done! 

I was working on that while XENA was quilting the rest of my baby quilt: 

After that, I got the label done on a second quilt:

and got it loaded on the longarm:

By then, my honey had made halushki’s for dinner:

and I hurried upstairs to share with him :~).

And Janice has finished a lovely YELLOW BRICK ROAD top:

And 10 years ago....

MALE OR FEMALE?

You might not have known this, but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female. Here are some examples:

FREEZER BAGS:

They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

PHOTOCOPIERS:

These are female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong buttons.

TIRES :

Tires are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated.

HOT AIR BALLOONS:

Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under their butt.

SPONGES:

These are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain water.

WEB PAGES:

Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on.

TRAINS:

Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for picking up people.

EGG TIMERS:

Egg timers are female because, over time, all the weight shifts to the bottom.

HAMMERS :

Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at all, and are occasionally handy to have around.

THE REMOTE CONTROL:

Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male, but consider this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying.
