Chronically Awesome: DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH... →
jewles: I had a credit card with Capital One. I paid off the small balance I had and closed the account on June 8th, 2010. Or I thought I did. I got a letter YESTERDAY that said I owed them $194.00 and that I was five payments behind. Obviously this made me confused, since I CALLED THEM IN JUNE 2010 AND… Not surprised, since my $200 credit limit card grew to me owing $1100 because of...

“(Jesus) healed the sick without a government health care system. He feed [sic]...”

I have a Jewish friend still trying to figure out if this is anti-semitic because, as she said, all the Jewish...

The Artorialist: Doilies on the street and afghans... →
theartorialist: Crystal Gregory uses the the female arts to install art on city scenes —chain-link fences, bricks, razor wire. She says these sculptures “challenge gender roles” by juxtaposing hard and soft, industrial and comfort. That seems weak. These are fantastic installations and make a big… Ah, inspiration for my knitting group’s planned yarnboming.

The Foggy Dew →
swampcrone: Sinead O’Connor & the Chieftains- The Foggy Dew (via Cerridwen) It’s difficult for us to remember that the Republic of Ireland is less than 100 years old. The battle sung about here was a turning point, in 1916.

Since I got Lacey. Much has happened. She can finally pee and poop on a leash, but is still a little “speshul snoflayke” about when and where. It’s progress. She has taken and passed an obedience…
