It's ok, sweetie. You can't help it. Whoever thought up the job titles at your work should probably be punched in the face by Batman, though.

Gingher pinking shears forever. No, really. They last a lifetime...

Also: I am not kidding when I say take a dress or a top that fits you and trace it. I've been doing it for years. Call me, I'll walk you through the general stuff. It's way less intimidating than a pattern when you're getting started, if you ask me.

That is a wonderful tribute, Mercedes. Sounds a lot like my relationship with my (similarly creative and awesome dad). xoxo

What about Arabella Proffer? Seriously, the Establishment doesn't know what the hell to think about her work (in my opinion because they clearly don't have the breadth of knowledge to appreciate her paintings for what they are, and instead mislabel them as some kind of camp or kitsch...), and she's got far too many technical chops to masquerade as an "outsider" artist, so...what then?

Newsflash: it's always chop wood, carry water. Unless you're a Cleveland politician, in which case it's "lay off the people who chop wood, tell everyone else how they should carry their own water."

One small factual correction: MetaFilter is an online community, not a commenting service. (Disqus, which is used on this site, *is* a commenting service).

Commenting services don't typically have community guidelines which can be violated or -- as happened with MetaFilter -- stomped all over, since they're used across many thousands of different blogs and websites, all of which have their own standards for discourse.

I've been a MetaFilter member since 2004, and it truly is an online *community,* with its own personality and overall, agreed-upon standards for both discussion and moderation. Adams continually uses the "high-level reading skills" of his site's readers to excuse his sloppy arguments. Perhaps he might recognize that entering a community with different norms than his own with the sole purpose of disrupting a conversation already in progress is not only rude, but also counterproductive? Had he engaged in good faith, under his own name, he would have had a very different result at MetaFilter (albeit not the echo chamber he's clearly accustomed to at home).

Looking at your grandma's blanket reminds me, Kim -- I should photograph my Grandma Fern's granny square masterpieces...she used an awful lot of black, they're pretty awesome!

Oh, that IS ridiculous. I am a sucker for toasty cheese of all kinds. Speaking of which, they've got that bread cheese stuff at my grocery store now... I think I need to get some!

Here's another Greek-style tomato sauce recipe I just found... http://greekfood.about.com/...

You could probably get rid of a LOT of summer veg doing this...tomatoes, or for those of us under a zucchini alert, same general concept of stacking them with stuff in between and baking would work nicely.
