I'll do that this evening. I think I'm going to take a nap since I only slept about 3 hours. My eyes are feeling really heavy so I'm going to take advantage of that.
What are your interests or crafts?

Blogger Fakes Baby's Death - ParentDish
This is just mean! A woman used a reborn doll to fake the birth of a terminally ill child and blogged about it!
I wonder if Karencg is looking in..she is the one who makes these type of dolls.

What the hell goes thru people's minds? I've known plenty of people that are nutty( And most of them I love dearly because they are nutty ) but that just takes the cake. And to think, she is still getting publicity from it and people are still going to her blog so they can see what she did. She is still making money off of it. I swear the gene pool needs a lot more chlorine.
I knit (beginner), crochet, mostly baby blankets for all the teachers who kept spitting out babies this past school year. quilt(beginner), love to read (JD Robb), needlepoint, basically things to keep my fingers busy so I wouldn't smoke but since i'm vaping I need to pick it up again or I will spend all the money on juice.
Nette, yes! For sure busy hands keep the analogs in their place! At least now when I put a P.V. down it doesn't just burn out in the ash tray making everything smell like burned garbage!
As for nutty people, we are all a bit nuts..
This goes beyond nuts into deranged. I wonder why people just don't find some help rather then make these sick bids for attention.

Sadly, most people like this woman don't even realize just how bad off they are. It isn't until to late that people realize something is seriously wrong. Hopefully this will be a wake up call for her and she will get the help she needs.
Hmmm... will ignore the faked baby chick. Seriously needed attention, that one. Poor thing.
So... crafts. This is where it gets weird. The big one is home improvement. We've lived in our house 9 years in November, and in that time, we've redone all the flooring, put in recessed cabinets (between the studs) in several rooms; I've reno'ed my office (point here -- I'm 33, my partner's 38, we have no kids and won't be unless there's a star in the east) and built in floor to ceiling bookcases and a window-seat with storage beneath. I'm kind of a bibliophile. I remodel furniture to make it suit my needs, including upholstery.
I also sew (this is self-defense -- I'm a) short, b) curvy, c) have really exacting tastes and standards and d) look like heck in all but about 4 colors). I can crochet, but don't; can't figure out knitting to save my life. I could embroider, but I don't.
I build Ball-Jointed Dolls from time to time, including rooting hair, custom face-paint (face-ups in the jargon of THAT community) and clothing. That started because I write novels and wanted to know if the actions I was having my characters take made sense. Now I have my dolls and we sometimes go have photo shoots.
I'm eying my partner's office (not literally: it would make me twitch if I looked at it) and thinking the next time my partner's off on business, I'm going to take that time off and build a computer armoire that looks like the Dr. Who TARDIS for his office.
I'm a huge music and SF&F geek, kinda goth, and an academic with specialties in historical demography and the neurochemistry of psychology. All my interests end up overlapping eventually.

Good grief CZ when do you have time to breath let alone vape! I love to redo and repurpose things. Most of my wooden art is useable art, I like painting on furniture and would love to learn more about upholstery.
The Tardis sounds like fun! Would your partner like that? I always wanted an office like Sherlock Holmes, all the Victorian stuff and of course a small lab table..instead of doing forensic experiments, mine would be for liquids! I guess I would have to have a lady e-pipe and a deerstalker hat hanging on the rack..

I wanted to build a Tardis for an entertainment system, but Hubby said that was too geeky even for him . I have decided that once my son moves out and I can use his room as an art studio I'm going to build a supply cabinet Tardis. I too am a hobby ho. Everything from cross stitch, quilting, polymer clay, beading, watercolors, oils, heat set oils, ceramics, Warhammer miniatures, bobbin lace, and whatever obsession hits me when I hit the art store . I want to give silk painting and dyeing a try, since we live near a lake resort area I think hand dyed silk sarongs would sell well. Eventually I want to also play with glass (torchwork and stained glass). Hubby says I have an art store in the spare room, but it's handy when one of the kids has a project for school, especially since my kids are ones that suddenly remember they have something that has to be done by the next day and town is 50 miles away. Other than that, MMORPG's keep me busy now that we live too far from anyone to do pen and paper gaming. Have played WoW and am currently playing Warhammer Online. Am giving the beta of Aion a try and am really enjoying that, so I am eagerly waiting for it to go live in Sept. I'm also busy obsessively thinking of ways to make my PV pretty and coming up with interesting accessories.

It's The Doctor's space/time traveling machine on Dr. Who. It can look like anything, but his got stuck looking like a blue police phone box from England and he hasn't fixed it cause he likes it. I am such a geek . If you haven't watched Dr. Who give it a try, interesting stories and the past 2 Dr.s have been HOT! Google TARDIS and it shouldn't be hard to find.

Well, I feel as though I can get at least one foot in the Ladies room, being a tomboy..
I enjoy home dec, jewelry making, multi year embroidery projects, floral design and drying flowers, growing pretty and edible and dryable plants. I eat super healthy all natural foods which I enjoy preparing. But this is because...
I'm an all natural, home based body builder.
Doin' pretty good for a 44 year old, but scare guys to death!!! Of course it doesn't help that I really love my miter saw, have pulled an engine out of my 64 Pontiac, can certainly rebuild it since I'm a true class A, programming CNC machinist by trade.
Well. I've plenty of cool tools to make my 901 mods, and lots of pretty jewelry stuff to decorate them with. Am I a mix or what??

And here you sounded like a girly girl! LOL I like my power tools too..too bad I can't reach them! LOL Mike hangs everything up..his clothes he can't find but in the shop he's Monk!
I like weights, I had a boyfriend in high school who lifted. I was his spotter..yeah right like I could lift those dumbells! If he dropped an end, He was so dead..lol

MK, I'm an academic and I have no children and no television. I have SCADS of time. (Kids are a joy, I'm sure -- I like my nieblings -- but they take up 110% of available time). I also have 6 glorious weeks off every summer, and 5 weeks every winter and 2 each spring -- that's for the big projects -- and I'm only in the lab 18 hours a week. The rest of the time, I'm writing either my academic work or my fiction. I'm on summer hiatus right now as it happens. Not having a television really helps -- I only watch TV by iTunes or DVD, and only when I'm on the fershlugginer treadmill or bike or while doing the weight/pilates routine every morning. (TV is my reward for sweating.) Oh... and slightly workaholic and yes, I am an insomniac (have been since 8 when a palmetto bug crawled on my face in my sleep). I get a lot of my paperwork done at night.
My partner would LOVE the TARDIS... we're such geeks. (I'd love it because it would keep him organized, but that's a side issue.) We're often accused of having one anyway because our house looks tiny from the outside, but is very well designed and feels huge once you're in the door. However, he hasn't been traveling much this last year so getting him out of the house so I can do the work is unlikely to happen until the economy recovers, and he gets slightly defensive when I go into Home Improvement mode because I rather suck at delegating...
Hilway -- if you have the time, try Dr Who (and Torchwood). The last four seasons are brilliant (and yes, the Doctor has turned into quite a hottie) and you really don't need to go back to the beginning. They're all available on DVD and from iTunes.

CZ - pardon me - I feel like a dufus sometimes.
By 'academic' - it sounds like you are a teacher. yes/no???

Hilway, I'm a research fellow. I work for a uni, doing research on the psychological effects of psychotropic chemicals on patients in a comprehensive therapy program. Mostly, I do a lot of data analysis, plus face to face assessments of progress every month (other people do the therapy -- I quit being a therapist after it sucked out my soul). I don't have undergrads anymore and I don't teach classes. (Used to, when I was a Teaching Assistant.) The project I've been working on for the past two years is in the Obsessive-Compulsive complex (eating disorders, OCD and self-mutilation), trying to find the neurochemical roots while we treat the behaviors.
Just typically over-educated...

CZ - Very interesting! Sounds like you enjoy what you do.
BTW - I am a bit on the OCD side when it comes to germs! yikes.

Hil won't use the atty or batt ever again if it falls in the potty.

I'll make it easy for you..hubby is a list maker and must follow the list in perfect order even if it means going from one end of the store to the other and back again..ala Monk. It's because his dad did the same thing and made Mike eat spinich! Soooo easy! LOL
Parent+veggie=Nut! (in scientific terms!) Now you can take the rest of the year off.

That is an understatement!
There is a girl in work who does something that drives me up a wall.
When she goes into a stall in the ladies room, she puts her access card on the floor in front of the bowl while she is taking care of business. YUCK!
She then picks that thing up, washes her hands (why I do not know), picks up the filthy access card again and then proceeds to touch the door handle on the way out and every other door in the place. As if that isn't bad enough - today she was having a problem with an application. I had to go over to her desk and use her keyboard. I had to keep talking to myself while doing it, in order not to hyperventilate. When I was done, I flew to the ladies room and scrubbed my hand and then used a paper towel to open the door to get out. Lord help me!!!!!
