How many nights of non-stop spousal coughing does one actually have to endure before being perfectly justified in picking up something heavy and bludgeoning the Cougher with it?

Bad Madame. Bad...

Actually everyone is disgusting sickums here. The entire office was either hacking or absent last week. Even the cat is breathing noisily. The cat and I are not speaking.



These are the angora booties I knitted for T'Oly (still experimenting with those nicknames). This setup is my ideal knitting situation. The coffee has a teaspoon of raw sugar in it. The 2 quart coffee mothership is out of camera range.


Still in a state of angora lust? Here's a close up.


This is the latest edition on the wheel, mid creation. Silk, it's original state can be found here. Fabulous stuff. Wicked shiny and it squeeks when spun.

Those are just adorable!!! That is one lucky niece. If my babes had those, I'd save them after they had outgrown them and put them on the Christmas tree every year.
I made a big pot-o-coffee this morning. When I returned to the kitchen I thought "Hey, where's all the coffee, and why are my feet wet?" Turns out the carafe had a large hole in it. Disaster ensued.

To answer your first question, I'll let my spouse, Curt, answer:

The answer is: not even one night. Make coughing spouse go to guest room or couch.

Pink angora booties. Do they come in size 14?

Oh! I forgot to answer your question. You boot him/her out! If I'm up coughing I don't waste any time and head straight for the couch or guest bed.
Now snoring on the other hand has become a real menace in our marriage.

The booties are most fantastic!

As for the other problem...you just need to come up with your own issue that is more annoying to him so he will move- why should you have to give up the bed? I think some high pitched groaning with every exhale might do the trick. Or clear your throat in a dramatic fashion every minute or so.

8,000 handknit free scarves needed for SuperBowl Volunteers. Horrors. I've just sent an unnecessary post card to these people. " You must be kidding. I'll put this in my knitting queue... right behind every premature infant, the low income families in need, the homeless (domestic and international), the chemo patients and... every child for the next twenty years in the Oakland and San Francisco Childrens' Hospitals. In a word: No. " The Indianapolis and NFL wants my labor and yarn? Gah...

I got mugged in a nicer part of town than my own after knitting group. I am not hurt (other than re-twisting an ankle trying to chase the bum down. Do not ever ever run in clogs. Should not have been carrying a 50 pound knitting bag either. Or I should have handed that one over instead.) but am cashless cardless keyless bus/BARTpassless librarycardless phoneless id-less and really really pissed off. Yelling really loudly helped at the time. I had a dozen nice people around me and calling the very nice cops and getting water and handing me dogs to cuddle. They'll never catch the bastard and I'm aware of that. It's just the way it is. Like most everybody else I live paycheck to paycheck and at the end of the month when I am really paying attention to the last trickle I have to use, I get tense. Now some asshat has relieved me of that trickle and the last photo id that doesn't make me look like a complete aging old hag. And my cute new phone, just when I got the layout r...

Up all night.

I went round and round on a topic last Saturday with someone: sexual preferences: sources, outcomes, society. Tiresomely 'round and 'round the assumption mulberry bush. Then there was a general discussion of prey . Why are the abused mostly women and children? Because, on the whole, they are smaller and thought to be easier to intimidate. Ask any woman. Ask anyone who has been a child what intimidation is. Why bother feigning shock? The whole discussion is bothering me enough to keep me up for a couple of nights. The spinning is going well, for the most part. I've been working on a couple "Orphan" skeins using bits and pieces from dyers (most pieces only a couple grams in some wild colorways) and then Navajo plying them all together. It's quite the experiment. In the end the studio will be less cluttered, I will have more bobbins/less wool and the cat will have to find another soft place to sleep. At the moment the most recent prepared wool is a mystery: it...
