Should I Give Comedy a Try?

After reading a Yahoo headline about some YouTube users making $100,000+ maybe I should.  Is anyone ready for comedy dripping in sarcasm, satire, and cynism?  My humor may be just what what you are looking for.  The down side, I won't be caught on camera.  Yes, I'm camera shy.

War

Polititcs are not my usual commentary fodder, but tonight is special.  U.S. troops pull out of Iraq.  Did you know that according to some research as many as 90% of war verterans will return home with psychological damage, yet the Army says prior to 2005 they made no mistakes in discharging soldiers with supposed "personality disorders".  This discharge nullifies a soldiers claim to medical treatment.  A change in policy after 2007 caused that number of discharges to drop by 75%....hmmm.  

Total loss of life due to the war in Iraq at last count (as stated on MSNBC) is just of 4,400.  That number would populate the town I grew up in almost ten times.

Just food for thought.

My thoughts and condolences go out to all families who have suffered from a war casualty.

Rehoming Vintage Patterns

Hi All

Over the next few days I will be posting photos of some of my vintage patterns that need to be rehomed.  I would love to keep them all, but I am out of room.  For patterns you may be interested in, email me.  I will not be asking astronomical prices for these patterns just enough to cover my time and shipping.  I do have a paypal account you can send money to or you can email a USPS money order for payment.  All of the patterns will be shipped through the U.S. Post Office by first class mail.  If you wish to have a delivery confirmation added it will be an extra $1.85 to cover the fee.  I will check my email daily so be assured if you send a message, I will get it!  Have a GREAT DAY, I hope to hear from you soon!
