For the things that never make any sense! XD

The place for those OT discussions that you just HAVE to share in a doll themed forum.

Too true, too true, but then the sheer size of my friends unopened embroidery kit collection freaks me out. All we freaks get along together better with a big dose of tolerance and " It's not hurting me, why do I care?"ness. :D
That's what I like about our group here. If something freaks us out, we just say "Hi there, that's a freaky doll. Welcome to our group!"

Last night, I dreamed that I went to a craft store to buy a lot of foam boards. Why? To build a 1/6th scale city for a photostory set.

I'm still trying to decide if that would cross the line to "absolutely ridiculous project." :lol:

Actually, I remember a guy doing something like that several years ago. Obviously, it was a series of sets but the over-all effect was pretty convincing.

That could be cool, actually. ^__^

The only dream I remember last night was a bit weird... hubby Wren and I were cats, and every time I would start to say something to him, he'd burst out singing "Stray Cat Strut" at me. :?

I looked at mine, realized that if I did nothing but cross stitch and write, I would not be finished until I was 110. They are going on ebay.

That sounds so cool to me, but then I do have the furniture to fill a multi-bedroom 1:6 scale house. :oops:

I work at a laundromat, as some of you may know. Our prices have not changed since just after Katrina, five years ago and more. The dryers run for five minutes per quarter. There's a big sign on the wall stating this. There are also smaller signs on every dryer stating "DRYERS RUN FOR FIVE MINUTES PER QUARTER".

Now then, I told you all that to ask this one, simple, ironically rhetorical question.

What question do I get asked at least twice a shift?

Yep, that's right. "How long does a dryer run on a quarter"?

...there's a reason Chae-ri is such a great comfort to me.

Hmmm, if you wouldn't mind letting me know how that works out, I would appreciate it. If I offer to help her list them, she might want to sell them.

And how many of those people then insist that "It didn't use ta be that way" or something to that effect?

RE: 1/6th City

I know it'd end up being really awesome if I go through it, but at the same time, I'm afraid it might be too ambitious of a project. That, and I'd have to explain to my parents why there's a tiny city occupying the living room. :lol:
