Did Anyone get their watch crystals?

Making one laugh and giving out hugs is very much needed Kathy.

My DH is very useful, can do woodwork he makes thimble and tassel moulds
for me. He does metal work. He does all the repairs to this house. Made
the new windows, fitted a new kitchen. Just recently painted the
outside of the house. Can garden and look after a green house. He
vacuums and cleans the bathroom.
Very handy man to have


Mine makes me laugh. :-)

I'm really good at sleeping, reading, beading and a few other craft type
things. I can cook (but I'm usually to busy chasing after my rugrats to
do
a really good job) Don't see what use a former truck driver would be (can
you say ROAD TRIP? I know where all the good truck stops are. Have my
passenger endorsement so I guess we could have a tour bus and do a beady
tour - for those in need) Oh, and I can do quite a bit of heavy lifting
and
furniture rearrangement for those that want it. Let's see, what else....
been a caregiver for someone going through chemo so I know how to use a
pump
and flush a hickman......worked a motel so I know a few "short-cuts" (just
don't get a chance to use them much)....worked delivering pizza (got my
own
"secret" recipe that involves ranch dressing instead of pizza
sauce)......I
think that's about it for now.

Later,

Helen C

Not for me. I need more privacy, usually.

]Give me a big ol' industrial sized kitchen with a few helpers (teenagers
]work well) and I'll do my best to cook for everyone

you're on!

a communal kitchen would make it easier, yes?

Great! And from reading another thread here this morning I see that there
are a few people who don't like to clean very much. Well, I'm a neat freak,
so I could clean all your houses! So when do we move? :-)

This is something I've thought about for a LOOOONG time. Closest I've come to
it are the polymer clay retreat we did here in the Rockies last year, and
GuitarCraft. I didn''t play, I just ran the kitchen, and my dh took the
courses. We took our kids---I've done GC courses with infinks at the breast and
toddlers who are now 6'3". We were the only ones to come "en famille" but then
its my thought (and the Fearless Leader agreed, he's a wonderful person as well
as musician) that a Life In Music had best include the "Life" part, or you'd
lose out eventually. We're still married--a lot of guys who left their wives
and kids at home, did just that-- left.

Do you do ironing because I hate it. Mainly because after I had my heart
bypass they seem to have trapped a nerve in my spine with spragging my
chest open. I only have to do three things and I am in agony that I
could cry.

This is the mindset that would have to shift for community to really
work. I think lots of people are ready for it, but don't know how we
can successfully establish it in the midst of the commercial /
competetive model.

owww, Shirley!!!!!! No I hate ironing too, only do it when I'm
sewing/constructing with fabric, or setting fabric paint, after its made, it
never sees the iron again if I have my way.

How about if we all just love you wrinkley?
