HippieChick58 comments on Dec 31, 2020:
I did a king size once, that is just too big and bulky to do easily. I've done a few queens, even those are challenging. I don't forsee anything large in the near future, I'm concentrating on smaller pieces now just to use up some of the fabric stash. Your quilt is gorgeous, those colors pop so much...
HippieChick58 replies on Jan 1, 2021:
@Gwendolyn2018 I made a quilt about 10 years ago, it was a generous queen size. It was made for a relationship that I was in that was supposed to be long term. The man was supposed to move to Nebraska, he found all sorts of reasons he couldn't. The quilt ended up in my guest bedroom, and then when I started working from home the desk was put in the guest room and I knew the quilt had to go, so the lap quilt I had started grew into a full size quilt and was put on the bed. The old quilt was sent to some friends who admired it. Throw quilts and lap quilts are very welcome at nursing homes and senior centers. Right now I'm working on small projects, I have made some pot holders and have placemats in process. I'm not planning to start another big project any time soon. And you know what they say about the best laid plans...

Eidetic memory is the term used today for what used to be called "photographic memory"
HippieChick58 replies on Dec 29, 2020:
Eidetic memory (/aɪˈdɛtɪk/ eye-DET-ik; more commonly called photographic memory) is the ability to recall an image from memory with high precision for a brief period after seeing it only once,[1] and without using a mnemonic device.[2] Although the terms eidetic memory and photographic memory are popularly used interchangeably,[1] they are also distinguished, with eidetic memory referring to the ability to see an object for a few minutes after it is no longer present[2][3] and photographic memory referring to the ability to recall pages of text or numbers, or similar, in great detail.[4][5] When the concepts are distinguished, eidetic memory is reported to occur in a small number of children and generally not found in adults,[2][6] while true photographic memory has never been demonstrated to exist.[5][7] The word eidetic comes from the Greek word εἶδος (pronounced [êːdos], eidos) "visible form".[8]

HippieChick58 replies on Dec 25, 2020:
@dave1459 The Obama administration had placed experts in China to monitor the situations there, the Trump administration pulled them out. We would have known about it earlier if not for Donnie Dumpsterfire. Also the Trump administration downplayed the virus for months, and even now continues to downplay it. The current administration has NEVER studied history, this is the most ignorant, ill informed, biased, and oblivious president in the history of the world. Speaking of coolaid, you have obviously drunk of the coolaid of the outgoing administration which most thinking people have decided is the worst in the world. Oh how the mighty have fallen. The US is no longer the greatest nation, we're the greatest laughingstock in history.

Yes, the virus may have started in China, but the actions, and the inactions of the US government, and the willful ignorance of so many citizens have allowed it to spread and disrupt life in a way that has been unprecedented in US history.

HippieChick58 replies on Dec 17, 2020:
It is Acadian, or Cajun. They're essentially the same thing. I lived in Louisiana for almost 2 years (totally too long) and I did learn some of the history. From Wikipedia: In Louisiana, Acadian and Cajun are often used as broad cultural terms without reference to actual descent from the deported Acadians. ... Historically, Louisianians of Acadian descent were also considered to be Louisiana Creoles, although Cajun and Creole are often portrayed as separate identities today. http://www.acadian-cajun.com/acadiancajun.htm And if you want a semi interesting story, read about the Evangeline Oak. https://explorepartsunknown.com/southern-louisiana/a-cajun-myth-an-oak-tree-and-a-search-for-meaning/ I was fascinated by it because of some health information that came to light. Many Acadians are having babies with a disease usually found among the Jewish population, Tay Sachs disease. It is suggested that the Jews that were removed from Jerusalem during the diaspora settled in France and became absorbed into the population. That population then were among those that went to Canada then Louisiana. And yes, I am a Geek.

Fortunately my dad stopped that. She hated any mention of our mother. My mom died 6 months before she married my dad. She would talk shit about how my mother did so much stuff wrong.

Literally, that was the first question. So I changed to another doc, and second appointment with that doc she did not even mention my 30 pound weight loss. I changed insurance and had to change docs, and I like my new doc, I think I might have found a keeper.

That said, I wish I knew about long arm quilting machines long ago. I might have put one on the ex's credit card before the divorce got started.

linxminx comments on Nov 27, 2020:
Really, really beautiful!! Do you have your own quilting machine?
HippieChick58 replies on Nov 27, 2020:
No, I take the quilt to a shop that has several long arm machines, and I let them do it for me. They are in the city limits, so they have to obey the mask requirement, but they are not real strict about it, so I don't want to spend more time in there than what I have to. I had thought that after I retire I may take the classes so I can do my own longarming. Long arm machines are really expensive and take up bunches of space. I don't have the space, and I can't afford it.

Turkeys are murdered in the name of tradition, which is something the Brits excel at. Our Christmas "dinner" can be whatever we want it to be, Thanksgiving in the US there is usually a choice of Ham or Turkey. I had my Thanksgiving dinner last Saturday with some of the family, today I have been home...
HippieChick58 replies on Nov 27, 2020:
@James121 I'm pretty sure farmed turkeys are some of the dumbest creatures ever born. Wild turkeys are damn hard to hunt so I'm absolutely positive they're constantly on edge and alert for the predators.
I was busy today.

Great work! I am jealous.
HippieChick58 replies on Nov 27, 2020:
To make quilts you have to have great tolerance for tedium. It is a lot of cut, sew, press, and repeat infinitely.

I loved art and crafts, I have carpel tunnel though. My hands bother me just using silverware. I really screwed them up making chain mail in my 20s.
HippieChick58 replies on Nov 26, 2020:
I have dealt with carpal tunnel in the past, I never needed surgery and it has not bothered me in years. I do have arthritis in my L thumb, and it bothers me when I knit or crochet. I have to be careful when opening doors or bottles with my left hand. Other than that, I know arthritis and carpal tunnel can be debilitating. I am grateful to be able to use my hands as I do. I've been sewing for over 50 years.
Don't bother me, I'm recharging. 😂

Is this your kitty? I am curious if you have noticed the speck in it's right eye? I had a cat with a congenital eye condition which is why I noticed it.
HippieChick58 replies on Nov 26, 2020:
@Kynlei Miss Millie, my heart cat was fine when she was little, but about age 4 the vet noticed an eye condition, I no longer remember what it was called. We kept it under control for many years, but when she was about 11 it was out of control and she lost her eyes. She lived well for another four years as a blind kitty. She always found the litter box, and found me, she loved to cuddle.

@James121 I am of the opinion that celebrating people is a good thing. Christmas I don't give a darn about, but I was delighted to meet my grandchild and celebrations of her birth are quite in order. If not celebrating birthdays gives you satisfaction go for it, the rest of us will be over here at the party having a good time. Just a point of reference, I "celebrated" my 19th birthday in USArmy basic training by going to gas chamber training. It is hard to have a suckier birthday. My mom died when she was 45, and each year past 45 for me has been a celebration that I'm still here. My mom never got to know any of her grandchildren, and my children never got to know her which is a tragic loss. Passing 45 was a milestone for me, and every birthday past that is a celebration.
I expected to be stoned by villagers. Pre-Thanksgiving grocery shopping.

Now either one of my older daughters would be an amazing president, they will be the right age, and they're definitely smart enough. But I really don't want either of them moving to DC. One of them lived in DC for a few years so I am familiar with the city, but I don't want her to move her children away from me.
