QUESTION FOR Y’ALL: Now that Pete knows how to post the Grudge as a post, not a comment, do you want me to discontinue the Daily Path or keep posting so we have at least one open blog a day on those admittedly rare and so sad occasions when Pete is off-line for any of a variety of reasons we all experience ourselves and are ever so sympathetic about even though we miss him. Wait … did that run on sentence still have a question in it? I need coffee. I hope this t-shirt doesn’t offend anyone. I think it’s hysterical.

PJTV: Where is the line between comedy and hatred?
Klavan says we can tell the difference between a distasteful remark (e.g., Obama’s joke about his bowling being Special Olympics quality) and remarks that are genuinely and intentionally filled with hate (e.g., Wonkette’s birthday “tribute” to Trig Palin).
Best quote: “Liberals try to get Conservatives to shut up and Conservatives try to get Liberals to keep talking.”

Not so GORGEOUS as Ting’s garden!! … but I just finished this and I’m SO proud of it that I just have to toot my little horn!
Mama Buzz wanted to get Lil Buzz (he’s gotten too big to call Baby any more!) one of those “fastener” dollies so he could practice buttoning and snapping and zipping etc. They were kinda pricey and she has this über crafty mama, so she naturally passed the challenge on to moi.
I love nothing better than a project for which there’s no pattern! LOL Seriously. It’s so fun to figure it all out! I started with a photo of a Humpty Dumpty doll I saw on-line and my stash of quilting fabrics, ribbons, yarns, multi-colored threads, fiber fill and fasteners.
Dearest hit the stores for snaps, eyelets and laces. Mama Buzz wanted Velcro also, but the stuff gives me a rash, so Lil Buzz can learn that on his sneakers.
I also found a buckle and two buttons in Grandmother’s Sewing Box that were perfect. Marci was Dearest’s grandmother, which makes those buttons and buckle FIFTH generation to Lil Buzz!
As I worked along, I kept getting Big Ideas until the simple egg shaped doll with a few fasteners turned into a two-faced, zip up tote! It even has a fat little stuffed bottom so it doubles as a nap-time pillow for the car. :o))

John 21: 4-6 [NIV]:
Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”
“No,” they answered.
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.”
When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
