Learn Crochet and Knitting Stitches and techniques with videos

 Special
Jun 072011
 
Okay…so I know the basics of both crocheting and knitting…but ask me anything other than that and I couldn’t begin to help you.  Well in my emails…I came across this website:  New Stitch a Day.  The site is set up blog style, and it looks like they are in the making of updating how they bring you info.  Videos are included for each technique shown and you can “Request A Stitch,” if it’s not on their site.

So…there may be hope for me after all.  Someday, I would love to crochet a rug out of plastic bags like my Grandma used to make.  She made one from bread wrappers from all fifty states that I now have.  Unfortunately, I can’t use it as a rug any longer as it was beginning to come apart…so I have stored it for now and will frame it some day.  It’s something that I will always treasure.  She also made me a crochet tablecloth for my wedding…which she didn’t live to see.  She began the tablecloth, was hospitalized and all she could think about was finishing this tablecloth.  My mom had to fight with the hospital staff to allow my grandma to have her crochet hook.  When they finally allowed this…she finished it just before she passed. Another treasure I will always have and will pass on to my daughter.

Did you hear me scream from NH?

So…my day started out not so good.  I had plans to go to Sam’s Club, and hopefully, fishing in different brooks with my daughter and her grandfather.  Well…my day turned upside down when I was told by the Home Health Agency that I had no one coming today for my son.  I was a bit peeved I didn’t get a call saying the LNA who has been coming Sundays, wouldn’t be coming today, before I had to call to find out where she was. 
So…good enough, I revamped my day while moaning about it over my coffee.  I then did what I needed for my son, my brother and his girlfriend stopped by, and then my in laws stopped over.  I was cleaning up the dinner mess and thought about taking a nap.  That is exactly what I should have done! Instead asked my FIL if he wanted to go throw our lines in the brook in the center of town.  
Off we go…dog is not happy…she couldn’t go. {Read more here}

Old Navy Groupon…$10 for $20 worth of clothing

I am thrilled with this offer.  My daughter thought she found two pair of shorts she liked at Old Navy Sunday…but ended up being we have to take one back b/c she doesn’t like the fit.  So now, she can get two more pair of the shorts she does like.  She’s at the age where it’s hard to please her…so I’ll please my wallet instead 🙂

Cell phone Use and Cancer…What are your thoughts in light of New finding?

 Medical Monday
Jun 012011
 
So…what now?  Do we have a whole lot of choices in today’s world? We all want the newest technologies…we all want the conveniences. I’d love to hear your take on all this :-).


It’s all over the news…The World Health Organization is now categorizing cell phones as being in the same “carcinogenic hazard” category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform due to the radiation (non-ionizing) they emit. “What that means is they found some evidence of increase in glioma and acoustic neuroma brain cancer for mobile phone users, but have not been able to draw conclusions for other types of cancers.”


What are your thoughts on cell phones and brain cancer?  Are you concerned for your children (those who use cell phones) in developing brain cancer where their skin and skulls aren’t as thick as adults? Will you be going more hands free?  Holding the phone further from the head when talking? Using the speaker phone?  What about how the kids use cell phones?


Even though it’s stated it could take decades to develop a brain cancer…I do not completely buy that.  My brother in law (31 yrs. at the time) died a few years back from a type of glioma (fast growing cancerous brain tumor) that manifested so fast that we were told even if he had been diagnosed prior to finding him dead…they wouldn’t have been able to do anything because these types of brain tumors grow at such a fast rate.  


Here’s the timeline he experienced symptoms…it shows you how fast a brain tumor can kill.  About 3 weeks before his death…he began to complain of  headaches.  Then he started to complain of heartburn and was downing milk to ease the symptoms.   A couple of his friends noted him wandering off by himself during this time…which was not like him, but nothing was ever said to his family.  Next thing…he was found by his brother dead in his bed.  The tumor had brought on a grand-mal seizure, seizure caused a heart attack and it was fatal.  


So knowing what I do know about gliomas…I am not convinced it takes decades for them to erupt. And, sure there are other brain tumors and they aren’t as fast growing as the gliomas.  In fact, my son still has a piece of one (choroid plexus papilloma) in his brain…it’s never grown in 27 yrs.  And as far as acoustic neuroma brain cancer…I have no idea what these are about…but I will be researching these for sure.  


It’s a scary world we live in today.  I have said for a long time that it’s our environment killing us. All these new products we use to cook with.  All of the chemicals we use.  Our drinking water…drinking water in Maine was said to be the cause of two children from the same area having a type of leukemia back when my son was at Children’s Hospital in Boston when he was 3 weeks old…they both died.  I ran into a woman a few years back…she told me she was a breast cancer survivor…she told me the doctors told her it was her drinking water that caused it.  How do we trust anything being safe for us today?
