Well, I have now learned not to monkey with my Blogger settings until I know how this thing works! I've been using a computer since my old Dictaphone 5000 in 1980 or so, which used computer language and was NOT user-friendly, but this "newfangled" stuff is tough. I didn't have computer training in school. I learned what I know on the fly.
I talked to Jane today and she said she couldn't post comments on my blog because it didn't accept anonymous comments. I decided to fix that, and did. While I was there--oh, it pains me to remember it--I switched my language to "simple Chinese" just to see what it looked like. It asked if I wanted to save it, and thinking of the joke "Jesus Saves," I chose it automatically. It doesn't look like anything. It's just little boxes. So I tried to go back a screen and change it back to English, and it wasn't there anymore. Just boxes and more boxes and more damned little boxes! It has taken me thirty precious minutes to fix it with instructions from Mishka via someone unnamed.
Yerk.
Life is exciting right now. I have read the first three chapters of a terrible overview text of world religions--very slanted and Americentric/Christianitycentric in slant. However, I'm determined to go ahead and read it, because college students read it and think it's all true. Know the other. That's what my studies are about. The exciting part: Wayne has bought a number of "The Great Courses" on DVD on sale, including the one I'm watching now. I'm on the fourth lecture, and if all the instructors are as good as this one, this is going to be a fantastic year! I'm learning about "Religions of the Axial Age" right now. I didn't even know what the "axial age" was, and I have a Master of Divinity degree (or its equivalent for those without a baccalaureate degree). It's the time period from about 800 B.C.E. to about 200 B.C.E. I'm learning about the origins of Hinduism and Zoroastrianism and where they came from. Cool, huh?
My fiber is finally ready to pick up at Dawn's. Lindsey didn't come for driving today, so maybe she will have another time to drive and she can get some highway experience driving down to Roy. Or I could drive down there tomorrow morning. We'll see. I have a gorgeous fine Romney fleece (dark) and a beautiful Romeldale ewe's current offering (which are new), and that big 2007 silver Romney wether's fleece from Rosedale Romneys. Or Rosewood Romneys. Can't remember at the moment. Anyway, from Patti's flock. We're finally driving up there on Sunday afternoon to see the fiber "on the hoof." The weather was bad this past Sunday.
How many UFO's do you have on needles? I have lots. Wish they were finished. Off to the grocery store.

On needles I don't have any :) Just don't bring up bobbin, yarns that need soaked and blocked, quilting, or beading and I'm ok ;)
Me too, Christie! I have a big basket full of handspun that needs washing and whacking or blocking, an obscene amount of fiber in every stage of preparation--from raw filthy Wensleydale to hand-dyed silk/merino combed top--and I'm studying religions instead of spinning??? Wonder about my sanity! But tomorrow is our Friday fiber group and I think I'm going to spin some beautiful Blue Faced Leicester roving in blues, greens, and lavenders. Happy fibers!
