site news and information
Hi, All
First, for anyone having any problems bringing up the freePatternWizard pattern creation software by using the top drop-down menu, feel free to Take This Link
Our showcase has been updated. If you've previously uploaded a showcase in the past, please check to see if it's been posted; meanwhile, if you want to submit one (or another one, if you've already posted before), feel free to do so!
Also note we now have an additional (optional) assembly page for the freePatternWizard. This is for larger pieces that have multiple pages. Much smaller patterns won't need this.

Thank you so much for responding. I hope that they add the function soon, But I use a MacBook so I'll look for graphics program.
I live permanently on the road in a Matilda Bradstreet motorhome with my beloved spouse. He has given up complaining about the amount of wools and cottons I have stashed. I tend to knit and crochet dishcloths and face cloths as thank-you gifts and for raffle prizes, I make hats for friends and their children and sometimes I even manage to make clothing for myself. We don't like the cold so we tend to stay in tropical areas in Winter. I really need to check out the cotton blends for tee-shirts etc.
Line,
LOL, you're right, that's exactly what kindergarten teachers are doing. But my husband is still in his terrible twos, so he can't be considered a kindergarten teacher.
Wow, I had no idea! Kids are pretty advanced at early ages these days!
I agree...your game plan is nothing short of genius, simply following his inability to wear the hat when the weather gets warmer.
Oh, no!
Hope you get a chance here and there
for a nap, so you can feel refreshed!
Hugs,
Melanie
Debbie,
Wow, if you could make something up to be "adjustable" so to speak, you could pretty much cover everyone's individual taste! Love that idea!
Oh, no, I'm so sorry your headaches are that bad.
I agree that it sounds a bit
suspect...all of a sudden, you're allergic? I know
allergies can happen at anytime, but something with headaches that
severe sounds very strange (though I'm not by any means a medical
professional!).
Ugh, you're not kidding about any of that...the nausea, sensitivity to light, smells, etc. My migraines can get that way, though I
haven't had issues like that recently, thank goodness.
When I did get them that bad, I'd try to stop the headaches before
they got worse. My solution back then was caffeine, which
was awful, as I have debilitating hot flashes, and the caffeine
would work maybe 20-30% of the time if I was lucky, so not
much.
The thing that changed is they gave me medication that really did help. 100%. But it's crazy expensive and I still try to discourage a headache from starting before going for the crazy expensive stuff. The only time I don't bother trying caffeine is if I have a big, busy day ahead. The one day I was going out of town, woke up early in the morning with a horrible headache, took a pill and went back to bed. That really did the trick...well, sort of. I went back to bed because otherwise the meds make me sleepy, but then when I woke up there was a terrible pain in my neck/shoulder, and despite not having a headache, I was absolutely miserable, as I was in a place most of the day where I couldn't leave, couldn't get comfortable...for well over 8 hours.
But at least I didn't have the headache by then, which I absolutely would have had if not for the meds!
What meds did they give you, if you don't mind me asking? (LOL, if it's none of my business, that's okay.) I have something called Sumatriptan,
which is the generic for Imitrex. Even though it's the
generic, it's still crazy expensive. The "real" stuff
used to be $100/pill...the generic is "only" $10/pill.
Now you see why I don't want to take it unless I really, really
need it!
When I'm stuck somewhere that I don't have a pill with me, a headache can be really miserable. If I don't catch it earlier on with either caffeine or a pill, it can last 3 or more days, like yours. Sleeping that way is the worst.
It seems counterproductive to take a pill before going to sleep,
since I'm not doing anything super critical, but then I have a
really miserable night. So I probably should take a pill
if I have a bad headache before going to sleep, as strange as that
seems!
Is it possible your triggers aren't allergy related? I don't know the cause of mine...nobody's ever said, they've just given meds (which thankfully worked), but I've noticed that if I get stressed, clench my jaw, hold my shoulders up, etc, it can lead to a headache. And I know they're migraines because this med is a specific migraine one, so I don't know if it's supposed to work for non-migraines (suspect not), but it's so far worked 100% of the time, whether I took it earlier on with the headache or much later on!
I hope they can find a great solution for you that will help get rid of your migraines. Nobody should have to deal with that kind of awful pain.
Line,
LOL, I'm not sure I would talk about our school system here as "working," if you know what I mean! Seriously, well, our school system
(particularly higher education) needs a complete
overhaul. But I'm guessing it won't ever
happen. It's getting way too expensive to get an
education, so college grads are starting out with tens and hundreds
of thousands in debt. And those loans aren't
forgivable...ever...a student will owe on them until they're paid
off.
February 4th isn't so far away...they don't give you a lot of time, do they? And will you be doing
the project alone? It sounds like you don't save any
trouble or anything if you do the project as a group.
Have you had to do anything like this before?
Yuck, I'm not a big fan of math, either. Wouldn't it be difficult to do as an
oral exam, though? Do you prefer oral exams?
Can't say there was ever an oral exam at either of my
colleges. All were written. Are oral exams more
the norm there?
LOL, no worries...I kind of laugh about it, too.
Though I'm still not
happy with it. I mean, really, the
last bead? It couldn't be a
bead toward the beginning? In the middle?
Somewhere else...Canada, Florida, London, Fiji, Australia,
Hawaii? LOL!
Hugs!
