Serenity Now !! ....

            Ok, that's better.  At least now I have an actual keyboard
in front of me that I can beat on when 'it' makes mistakes.  On the
downside, all of the exciting ideas I had for posts seeped out through
my ears and into my pillow last night while I was sleeping.  Even
though I'm sitting here with an empty brain pan and a bewildered
look on my face I refuse to let that stop me from posting.. In fact
I even feel a bit more natural doing it this way.  Today I just have
a few quick questions (which I could research myself , but this is
so much more fun)

House Dresses...  I'm not sure of the proper name for these sack-like
dresses .  I just remember that that was all my Grandmother ever
wore.  Where did they get them?  Are they still available today?
Not that I want to buy my wife one , I'd just like to know.  And also
aprons.  I've never seen an apron store in the mall.  And they were such
a necessity once upon a time.

Macrame and knitting...  Can someone explain to me how anyone
can get any pleasure what so ever out of knotting cord or tying
yarn into little knots over and over?   I just finished making a sling
for a friend's rifle out of paracord.  Ninety feet of paracord to be
exact.  four hours of tying the same knot over and over in varying
patterns to make a forty six inch sling.  I should have told him to
use a belt  !!   Yes it came out nice and I guess there is a bit of
satisfaction in knowing I accomplished something really unique
*but*  I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed it.

Believing pictures....  I know they say a picture is worth a thousand
words, but if nine hundred of those words are vulgar, is it really
worth it?  I know for a fact my camera lies.  Or better put I guess
I should say my camera can be manipulated.  So is the results that
I get from it to be taken as gospel?  I have taken pictures of so-so
objects and the pictures have came out beautiful.  Much better
than I remember scene in person. (by accident i'm sure)  So how
come when I took some video of myself last week for a project
im playing with, this decrepit, overweight guy showed up on
all of my footage?  He deliberately stuck his head out of the
frame several times and stumbled around like a punch drunk
boxer taking a standing eight count.   Nothing at a  all like the
poised actor I portrayed .  I guess that was just to test my editing
skills.  That's another story, be prepared for another rant............

I guess that's enough for now.  Maybe if I go rest in my recliner
for a while in an upright position I will recover some of the
brilliant ideas I had last night before they were ripped from my
sleeping head by the blog bandits!         Peace & prayers........
