20 Minutes of Eva Longoria Sewing, While Talking About Sewing
I'm mildly ashamed to admit that I know what a serger is. I blame a woman. And society.
Bookworm on the Death of her Mother
We are responsible for our own happiness. A point I've hammered home relentlessly every time I've spent extended time with my Mom is that we are responsible for our own happiness. My mother, bless her heart, wanted me to be responsible for her happiness, and I couldn't do that. I could give to her and be there for her up to a point. After that point, though, my time was used up and my emotional well was dry.Faced with the burden of "you're the only thing that makes me happy," I too often ran away. That meant that I didn't have that lunch with her or take her on the shopping trips she loved so much. I knew then that I'd feel guilty when she died, and I do feel guilty, but the reality was that I kept drawing lines lest I get sucked into her overwhelming unhappiness.
My mother certainly had reason to be unhappy. Her parents had a miserable marriage and, when they divorced, left her to raise her sister in a home with minimal money. She and her sister spent almost four years in a Japanese concentration camp. After surviving WWII, they were pitched into the Israeli War of Independence. Then, when life was settling down, my Dad got restless and dragged her to America, when she would have been perfectly happy staying in Israel.
Despite spending the largest part of her life in America, Mom always felt like a foreigner. My Dad, a good man, wasn't a good breadwinner, and my mother chafed endlessly under the restrictions of genteel poverty and, as she got older, the fear of a truly penurious old age. The fact that, when old age came it was not penurious but, thanks to her scrimping and saving, comfortable (though not lavish) couldn't assuage those deep fears. A mixture of serious health problems and acute hypochondria magnified her fears. No wonder my Mom was always miserable. . . .
Except that . . . Mom could have seen her life through a very different prism. It was a life of epic adventures, triumph over adversity, the love of family and friends, and a financially pretty-darn-secure old age, with the best medical care available in a country that offers the best medical care in the world. Yes, bad things happened, and yes, she had pain, but she always landed on her feet to great applause.
Mom was born in the age of Flappers and died in the time of smart phones. She lived in Europe, America, and the Far East. She saw empires rise and fall. She had a knack for making friends. She had children and grandchildren who loved and respected her. If only she could have appreciated the happiness spread before her.

I really haven't watched much of the campaign--I've followed it closely on the 'intertubes', but not on TV. Every time I see Donald Trump, I got a little better idea of the groups he was used to speaking to, and working around, and serving as an outside leader for (because you start out with what worked out in the past). Two weeks or so, when I really started watching, I figured out at least some of the groups he talks to.
He doesn't just mob-coddle.
My view, right now, is that it is best to blow up the ship this fall, to prevent the infection to spreading to all of conservatism--to the only significant movement that says the rules are important in and of themselves, that the law is a lovely thing in and of itself, and if the man gets elected, maintaining a dignified independence, because he actually is stupid enough to think he will get away with stuff.

Just put a 15 qt. pot of chicken soup in the fridge, it's been simmering 'bout since 4 pm.
Second heating tomorrow, it promises to be a helluva good batch.
Gotta ask the assembled wisdom of y'all here though.... I was able to skim off nearly a pint of perfectly yellow, clean and tasty chicken fat, after I'd simmered the carcasses down yesterday.
I'd like to use it towards making a good chicken stock to buttress the store-bought paste stock on hand.
Any recipes or recommendations? Thanks!

And the meta-selfie, with another photographer recording the moment....priceless.

Chicken fat is not a component of chicken stock. Stock is made from the bones and connective tissue, and has the consistency of gelatin when cooled.
Fat is just, well, fat. You can melt it again and evaporate some of the water, salt it and use it as a spread...then it's called schmaltz. It can also be used to make potato pancakes or matzo balls.

Alas, in the making of the soup, I toss in a pair of roasted chicken carcasses, as well as all of the pan drippings from their having been roasted.
By time they go through a six to eight hour low simmer, I'm able to pretty much take the bones down to bare calcium....all the good stuff goes into the soup.
I'd have to dedicate a future carcass or two in order to have the bones and connective on hand to reduce to stock, and I'd rather have the soup.
So, store bought (commercial, actually) paste, it is. Bullion cubes are for folks that don't know where to buy a good paste stock.
Only reason I'd like to make my own, is to make it less salty. Not for "health" reasons, but so I can more fully control the flavor profile as I build up the soup in the pot.
The fifteen quart is my small batch. I can scale it up to a sixty quart batch, but that's a lot easier in a commercial kitchen than on a home range.
Damn good stuff though. Enough seasoning to make a Cajun smile, but not so much as to be a heat-fest.
Cheap as hell to make, too. That pot will be meals for two, for nearly a week, all for about $5 cost above the chickens, which were actually full meals on their own in the preceding weeks.

Roasted chicken carcasses are great for making very flavorful broth/soup. To make stock, uncooked bones are best.
If you spatchcock your chickens before roasting them, take the backbones and freeze them. When you have 4-6 of those, throw in some raw chicken wings and then do your multi-hour simmer. You will wind up with a very thick stock, which you can freeze in small batches to use in stews and gravies. Before Thanksgiving I do that with turkey wings, which is why we never run out of gravy.
I definitely agree with you about keeping salt to a minimum. You want a little just to help as a preservative, but it is better to have the flexiblity to salt to taste later, when preparing the final dish.

Amen. My mother and her older sister were a lot like Bookworm's mother in that they demanded that other family members "make them happy." They didn't have half the hardships that Bookworm's mother survived, but they nonetheless expected others to cater to their every whim while being at the same time relentlessly critical of those of us who did try to please them. It took me years to figure it out, but I finally came to understand that they didn't really want to be pleased, they simply used their unhappiness as a tool to manipulate and control the rest of the extended family. That insight finally freed me from their head games.

I suspect that two significant restrictions are: (1) it is easy to pronounce with the family's native phonetics system; and (2) it is unambiguous under the family's native phonetics system. If "Susie" can mean "dog", I doubt it would be a favored 'American' name.

Am I too late with the car/stripper name?
When I was seriously younger, I went to a strip club in Tulsa once - well, not really a strip club because the laws said you couldn't disrobe, so they'd dance, duck behind a curtain, come back out with less on. Also, they never got nude because nipples and the triangle had to be covered.
But, anyway, there was this dancer I got to talking to who was kinda farm-gal muscular and had too many tattoos. Found out her name was International Harvester Travelall.
Downed my beer, skeedaddled out, and never entered a gentleman's joint again.

The phone guys are supposed to be doing phone work overnight to get things to work together, so she's going in at 6 AM tomorrow so that there will be a manager on duty to ensure that things happen for tech support. Nobody asked her to do this; nobody thought this might be an issue; nobody else has the contacts to get fixers to what breaks.

Don't fret, garbage has been taken out and now it's back to its customary
4% Catshit
5% Rubio
28% Cruz
and the rest...

And others are now seeing the bot votes taken out and screaming that Drudge is screwing Cruz out of votes.

There is a Luap Nor effect there with the Trump votes, so I just leave them out and look at the relative values of the tail end. About ten on-line polls, throwing out the outliers*:
3% Catshit
5% Rubio
9% Cruz
and the rest...
*A few outliers did show that some Cruz fans are getting their Luap Nor on. Other than that, a pretty tight group for a bunch of folks with no lives up too late.

I did extensive research and developed a shortlist -- whereupon the fiancee didn't want to talk about it. From memory, this included the NC Triad, eastern and central TN, Georgia a sufficient distance from Atlanta, parts of TX that I shared with Carol when she was talking about it [so probably includes Marble Falls], and certain parts of AZ (this may not be exhaustive).
With her business connection to the Triad and unwillingness to discuss the issue head-on, it's become the favorite. I'd slightly prefer TN. But compared to NY, Chicago, or the Califuckitya in which I currently reside, I can be flexible.

When we went to the oral surgeon for the consult, he did mention that could be a long term result if it wasn't fixed... that and his teeth would wear out really quickly and they would never be able to put in crowns (or fit dentures) with his jaw like that.
So basically, it needed to be done if son2 wanted to be able to chew food when he was middle aged.

Instead of having the first stage make a tricky thrust-controlled landing on a small barge, why not have a barge with extendable arms that would deploy a large net, say 50 yards in diameter? First stage descends, hovers maybe 30 feet above the net, checks are made to ensure it is on-target, and cut the engines. Plop into the net it goes.

Haha. Don't worry, I have 2 full weeks here before I have to pack up and head North. I figured I was going to get several dozen studs in place for my framing project. Job One was to place the doubled-up 2X6 studs for the door frame. Uh-oh! Door isn't hung in a frame. Rush out, buy some 1X6, cut pieces to make door frame. Uh-oh, need to rout recesses for hinges. Call friend, "yeah, I have a router you can use. Give me half an hour, and you can come over." Well, might as well replace the blown exhaust flange gasket on the Suburban. Five-minute job, doncha know? Crawl under, get the flange undone, 5-minute job. Fit up new gasket from Rock Auto. "Shit! It's an inch too small. Spend a half-hour on phone with guy from local Autozone. Both of us in front of computers. We determine that my '97 truck uses a flange gasket catalogued as for '98 models. He orders it in to the local store. So I button up the gasket-less flange, got to buddy's place, and rout the hinge recesses. Then it was necessary to have a beer. Went back, assembled the door frame, ticket-boo, and now I had dimensions to frame the studs for the door opening in the wall. Uh-oh! The wall is not square! Have to cut tapered 2X6's to make a plumb opening in a non-plumb wall. Total number of studs actually erected: 2.

Don't know if it's just for the specific kind of bone cancer (CMML) my husband had, but when he got his bone marrow transplant his donor wasn't hacked into, she essentially went through a prolonged blood donation. Then they isolated cells from her blood, performed some adult stem cell voodoo, and transfused it into him.

#345 When I was seriously younger, I went to a strip club in Tulsa once - well, not really a strip club because the laws said you couldn't disrobe, so they'd dance, duck behind a curtain, come back out with less on. Also, they never got nude because nipples and the triangle had to be covered.
I don't frequent them anymore but when I was younger and lived 5 minutes from the Canadian border, this is why we always went to Canadian strip joints.
All of them are FULL strip and most of the girls aren't all tatted up. And lots of incredibly hot Eastern European babes (who are never tatted up.)

Presser ended. Secret Service was clearing a path for Trump. Fields decided she was speshul so she approached Trump, screeching questions. Secret Service doesn't bluff.
Fields and her TDS'er boyfriend (look up his Twitter feed, pre-incident) saw a chance for Fields to get her 15 minutes of victimhood fame.
Yet another smug, preening MFM piece of shit making herself the story.

I have one of the infernal things upstairs. It takes a PhD to thread it. The best part of it is that after you've finished serging whatever it will keep merrily serging away, turning out a thread chain in thin air till the spool runs out.

It's beginning to look like that. No video, in a room full of cameras and smart phones?
Butt the audio does raise questions.

Good Morning Morons. Today is Friday, March 11, 2016. On this day in 1888 the Great Blizzard of 1888 began along the eastern seaboard of the United States, shutting down commerce and killing more than 400 people.

Looks like it was a good choice on my part.

BWW, my gut instinct was to believe her but there's too much that doesn't add up. The audio seems damning at first but really isn't when you listen to it. They seem too intent on getting a description of the "attack" on tape.
Breitbart's making me nervous lately.
