Wordless Wednesday shhhh. Yarn porn… 🫠🥰

Music Monday: Dancing Queen: ABBA

All good things must come to an end. 

Really sorry to have to say this... but, since the new owners want their money's worth out of of YouTube. the site has turned a corner into the land of the money grubbing Internet back streets.  

Here’s the HYPERLINK. .... https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=VftR8INEaoIDy6u4&v=xFrGuyw1V8s&feature=youtu.be.  

There won't be any more Music Mondays unless, or until, I can figure out how to present it here as I used to be able to. 

💔 Love and Kisses..  💔

Sometimes you just need a change.

LET ME KNOW ?  Signed: Clueless in San Diego. 

Three on Thursday

 1.  Finally on the way to  conquering Sciatica, and I’ve successfully found a few of my patterns for short fingered gloves.  I’m still trying to find an old site that may have gone TOE UP but it’s a knitting site that I love SO I’m not giving up!  Suggestions are welcome!  🤗 

2.  It is horribly hot 🥵…. 95* F… Even thinking about knitting is insane and NUTZO, 

3.  Come ON OCTOBER!  In California we have two seasons…like Australia. …..

 “The Wet” and “THE Dry.”

…………..

That’s my three.  I’ll come see yours …asap.  Need me some ❄️⛄️❄️🥶

New “two act play” at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts??

All while our  *Ship of State*  drifts closer and closer to the Putanic Shoals?  

Music Monday: "Hotel California"

This weekly post may become a thing of the past.  

It's gotten difficult for me because I don't like the way that EVERY thing has been monetized by Monster Corporations that just must ABSOLUTELY  suck every penny out of what was a wonderful promo site for new music and new musicians. If I'm wrong just tell me.....

I'm trying to find something to put here:  The is one of my favorite songs of The Eagles - a classic.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=dLl4PZtxia8&list=OLAK5uy_lOdasVXNcleJ5OV1vf0kX3H89X7E4etyA

See if this works....  You will likely run into an AD first before you are blessed to hear one of the most popular of all the songs by The Eagles... 

May you have a good rest of your day.  

Free Range Friday : I'm tring to stop markking mistrakes in my blog entr'es.

 

Exactly So!

Ahhhh... 
The pleasures of watching Miss Marple solve crimes, while I am knitting mitts. and sometimes a hat or socks.  

The last of the replacement needles arrived…But I’m catching DH.s cold.  🥶🧯🐦‍🔥❤️‍🔥 So…… all the freaking changes that Google’s made in the use of Blogger and photo uploading are FREAKING ME OUT!

Dear Three On Thursday groupies..... *wink*

I'm still trying to find my way around what I thought to be a brand new MEME for me.....so I'll be visiting and leaving a proper comment ASAP.  

From what there is in my "way back machine", this was once a meme that I've been a party to.  And then.... many broken bones and a couple of falls had knocked  that memory right out of my head!  Glad to be somewhat, sort of... back!  It's fun!  Just what this Old Gal needed!  

Never forget…

 

I will never stop using my voice for MY People.  This is OUR country.  IT is OURS!  

Three on Thursday

 It's Thursday already!?!   Gah! 😕

1. The last set of sock needle replacements come today.  I expect any day now to open a a random drawer in a highly unlikely place and find the originals.  

2. I'm not going back to (anti) Social Media for a good long time.... not ruling it out for ever but just as long as I need to recover from the Post Traumatic Stress Delusional Disorder (PTSDD}it has given me.  Hopefully I will have the good sense to know when that actually is.  Like NEVER, probably?   

Here I sit trying to auto-locate the mouse but keep getting hold of the banana that's for my lunch!   

 3.  If there is a MEME somewhere on which I can read other Three's On Thursday, I'll post it 

RIGHT HERE 

..... can't find any so far but several sites had my malicious Warning Site Screaming... "Get Out NOW!" 

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

Music Monday

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=A_6nmZ-exVY&si=k-UoHoZL9b5qhIsq

Luke Brindley playing , “ Faithfully” by Journey… sorry Luke!  MI autocorrect …the cur!  Corrected! 

PS.  The MOMENT the song is over.. HIT THE GET OUT BUTTON!  

To all our brave service people … thank you for your service.  We owe our freedom of thought, word and  movement to all of you.  Thank you. 🙏 

   

NOT A HAPPY READ..BE WARNED.

New York Times article about a mother’s struggle to recover from a brutal arrest that left her son, a U.S. CITIZEN, dead…Think this can’t happen anywhere in the U.S. now?  Think again.

New La Niña… they are all female in summer- .

AT LEAST ON THE WEST COAST that is……that BIG RED BAND s scary, 🫣 😱 Holy Moly!

 iPads are LOUSY LITTLE DEVILS  for updating blogs.. 

Lookie Lookie little Sleuths and other BAD*SS Young ACE REPORTERS!

The effect of an underlying and world wide oligarchy 

The credit for this is in the top in the back area.  No Wonder the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION  WENT AFTER PBS! 

Three on Thursday

 1. I’m reading several books 📚…some for an antidote for the non fiction I tend to read.  One of the fun books is by my present favorite female writer, Jane Smiley.  I’ve read just about everything of hers that’s been published. The book is titled, “The All True Travels and Adventurers of Lidie Newton”.   There’s two books in the series and I have them both.  Yippie!  

2. I love watermelon 🍉 with a PASSION but haven’t eaten any in years.  

3.  I don’t watch the news anymore because it just makes me alternately 🥺 or 🤬 😡😠😢😔

NOTE: I believe the originator of this meme is https://caroleknits.net/2026/04/30/three-on-thursday-272/ at the CaroleKints blog.  Go have a look see.  If I’m wrong I think 🤔 that I’ll learn quickly what it is to 🫏 sooom (assume) anything. 

Wordless Wednesday… a day late!

 

This is a foto taken by one of my daughters who is ALWAYS up at the crack of dawn.  

Monday Music: Police: "I'll Be Watching You"

 It's gone unless I can figure out how to use a copy of the code the site now generates. Things have changed, as they always do.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OMOGaugKpzs?si=CIP8GAHzimmPzqGI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Anyway, it's a beatuful song that always takes my breath away when I hear it.  Thanks to some billionaire who now owns it, the share feature isn't working for lowly little bloggers.  Venmo?  I'll try that next.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOGaugKpzs&list=RDOMOGaugKpzs&start_radio=1

This takes you there... but there's an ad.  monitize, monitize, monitize.  Everyone wants to be a trillionaire these days......

Mitts and knitting such n such…

 Have you heard of “in the loop”. It’s a knitting site that has a BAZILLION knitting patterns.  I’ll have to link it later.  I’ve been awake nearly all night.

https://intheloopknitting.com/  It’s a grand place for knitters. 🧶 🧶🧶🧶

Three on Thursday

1.  I've quit Instagram...social media... I've started to hate liars with a passion that borders on insanity, and there is no going back from it.  

2.  This is a better world to be in... The Nether World of Slime and Hate was never going to keep me because so many people are just such jerks, not to me personally, but my daughter knew.  She wanted me to just knit for charity and she was right.  It is the best use of what time I have left on the planet.

3. I want to be happy AND productive for the people like my daughter, who are leaving this place far too soon.  

So, Watch for a new pair of short fingered gloves to pop up here is a couple of weeks.  I’m done with the war mongering world 

Wordless Wednesday.

 

Music Monday... A day late.... Sorry! ''Knockin' on Heaven's Door by "Guns and Roses"

If it stops, just click to make it continue.  I think maybe bloggers have been naughty or something, because YouTube doesn't like to "Play" with us anymore.  

AND:  Sorry, You Tube is now tacking ADS on these... We just endure.  I wonder if they do revenue sharing with the artists now.  That would be cool.  But I doubt it.....

This is all I’ll ever say about the Awful slaughterhouse of Gaza.

First let me explain.  I am a mother, from a dirt poor family where my mother was able to raise meat and eggs, like her mother before her.  She had large gardens.  And a fruit orchard.  So I feel the pain of little hungry children..starving actually, and their mothers.  I identify with them even though I was MUCH better off than they. 

What is happening in Gaza is Genocide.  Little children are suffering far worse than I or my siblings, because this that is happening to them is DELIBERATE.   

HERES THE Quote from the New York article in their opinion columns

“But Trump’s great skill is division, and on Iran, Democrats have made his work easy. Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic leaders in the Senate and House, called for Trump to seek congressional authorization, but their objections to his unilateral actions were couched in procedural complaints. Like many top Democrats, both are stalwart supporters of Israel, seemingly wary of even the slightest criticism of its slaughter in Gaza. Neither offered anything close to a full-throated rejection.” 

Quote from an article in a recent article by mamdami. I’m unable to link it…

Well that went well......MUCH bitchiness ensues.....

 I am sorry.  😕  Crosby Stills Nash and Young line....

 "It's getting the point, where I'm no fun anymore.  I am sorry...."

I need a brain transplant.  Wordless Wednesday is out for repair, as are QUITE a few of my right brain cells; this happened after I fell in the kitchen and broke my shoulder, as well as re-activating a break in the elbow.  

AND on top of all this the same fall has taken away my sense of smell and taste for at least three years so.  THE WORST THING OF ALL IS AT I Can't no longer smell or taste CHOCOLATE!  

So,  I've quit the gym because, DAMNIT!  I hurt enough as it is! 

I'm off now.  Gotta go chase down my rocker! 

Three on Thursday: Trying to get back in the swing of things..

💥 1. Health has been a struggle but things are on the mend.  Especially my MIND!

💥2.  I'm limiting exposure to Instagram because if I haven't already said it, I've got nothing left to add.  Besides, my blood pressure goes up just THINKING about going into that viper pit.

💥3. Having hit my limit of Hurly Burly fistacuffing,  💣💥😆💪 I'm now ready to retire the field and knit before I lose my mind or collapse in UTTER frustration with the war mongering world.  

That's my three!  When I am feeling very ambitious, I'll do Thursday Thirteen again which is Lovely, so please... go give it a look in.  

Though I can do more things, my life is proscribed now by old rattling bones and rheumatism, but the mouth still, unfortunately, works all too well.  I don't need anymore grief.  There's been a shed load of it these past few years.   

3.5. Monday Music is ON as well.   

Wordless Wednesday: Good Eats

 

Can’t access account?

I’ve gotten another terse bit from Gmail about this blog.  Politely terse “corporatespeak”.  So let’s see.  What is today?  Tuesday….  Excellent!  *carves another notch on her cell door.*  And, it’s one more week of the Putini, Trumpty (aka “Satanella” the Clown) Show.  No, I’m not a democrat or a Republican. I do vote though. 🗳️ 

So, I crossed the Rubicon but found the grass was made in a factory and to make things EVEN worse was covered with dead 😵 butterflies.🦋……

I've been away too long...

 Having found that I can hardly even change the text on my blog anymore, so....I've started to claw my way back into Blogging.

I have let it go so long.  But I'll try to get back on track.  I really need to get away from Social Media.  It's depressing, but it's also that I lose hope that we are going to get out of this whole mess created by megalomaniacs who think that the US Treasury is just one great big piggy bank created to satisfy their personal greed.  

I need to escape back into the Knitter's realm, and help keep the hands of cancer victims warm during their Chemo.  My Daughter, who wore the pairs that I'd made for her, told me that their hands get so cold!  

I found a picture of P.J. and I, in ceramics when she came to visit me one year long ago.  I always hold her close in my mind, but I've lost touch with her which is a shame.  I'd forgotten just how beautiful she is!

  

  

Wordless Wednesday: little Scarlet Pimpernel

 

Great article on the origins of the Pueblo people .. specifically the Hopi and other Pueblo tribes. Now I know why my own DNA -17% of it, comes from Hopi and Incan sources.
