Saint Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is only two weeks away. It's more a holiday for women than men, or so it seems to me, but today I found an interesting post that might change that at least a little bit.

First of all, here's a card for everyone that reads this blog--but don't take it too much to heart if you're a guy. I'm just sayin...

Now that we have the card givin' out of the way we can get to the blog post that caught my eye a few hours ago. It's from a craft blog--I bet that got the guys fingers twitching towards the back button--from Mia, a woman located in Perth Australia, who runs a website named One Hour Craft. She's also got a blog called Mia's Cloud.

Now it's quite true that for the most part crafty blogs are totally oriented towards the fairer sex but in the case of this one post--not so much. You see Mia posted about making Valentine's Day string panties a few days ago. Now that's a present it'd be great to unwrap--or simply gaze upon for a while before unwrapping. LOL

You can see an example over there on the left of the panties. Aren't they pretty?

I have to admit that Mia really runs a great blog and she obviously knows what's important about this holiday.

Well, I can tell you put a lot of thought and your whole heart into the card design...and it is so sentimental I could almost cry...almost. As for the panties? You're right, I would have never taken you for a craft kind of guy...see what a nice surprise. Good laugh

I'm afraid I've never been a fan of St Valentines Day. Like Christmas it is way too commercial.

So are you starting a production line then? :-)

What guy would not want these on any holiday or day of the week. They are cute, though.

Utenzi, I must say, you do find the most interesting blogs! So, the burning question I have...are you going to make a pair of these panties for the girlfriend??????

Thanks for the faithful readership btw, despite my slacker ways!

Rosemary, "whole heart" LOL It does take the right thing to make me feel "crafty" and panties are definitely on that short list.

Judy, I don't know about a 12 year old but remember--the panties aren't supposed to be hiding much.

Teresa, just how much larger???

Michelle, it's just a heart!

B-K, it is totally commercial which is the not-so-subtle attraction of the holiday. I do have a sewing machine but I'm not very good with it. No production line here. Sorry!

Nancy, you're so right.

Sassy, since meeting Joseph you have been rather quiet on your blog--but it's good that you have other things to do! LOL

that heart picture reminds me of the Mary Tyler Moore episode when she was dating a doctor and he gave her a heart pin and it was shaped like a human heart. LOL

Happy Valentine's Day, Utenzi! And I mean that from the bottom of my left ventricle.

Yeah, making Valentines panties is just for the women. You Fellas never get any enjoyment out of that.
right?
I mean it's not like you just admitted that you liked looking at them or anything.
Good thing huh., otherwise you might look silly.

I can't say I'd enjoy making them, Cravey. As for looking at them, I don't feel silly liking that at all.

Kristi, I try to be well rounded and look at all sorts of websites.

Nitroflex at home

I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

dogs and cancer

Like the old commercials for Fruit Loops, a Kelloggs' breakfast cereal , would say: "A nose, it always knows". While that commercial was referring to Toucan Sam, I'm just using this as a lead in to talk about how sensitive dog noses are and how they can be used, perhaps, to detect cancer. There have been a number of mentions of this in the media recently. Here's two items from CBC news this year. One story that ran on 60 Minutes and another from the Early Show . Both of these stories refer to a study run by Dr. Bob Gordon of the Scripts Clinic in La Jolla which used urine samples of cancer patients and healthy people to determine how well dogs could detect differences in odor between the two. That study resulted in the conclusion that a trained dog could detect cancer to a degree that was 3 times greater than could be accounted for by mere chance. Pretty good but not great. A much more interesting study has been just released: In the small world of people who tra...

I spent Thanksgiving at my girlfriend's parents' house. It was just the four of us and her brother & sister-in-law. Oh, and Barney. T hat's him over there on the left. I took a few pictures of him but the best two are represented here. Which one do you like better? Ears up or down? LOL W omen can be really funny about how their hair looks but Barney seemed pretty willing to have his ears do anything they pleased. If only women were so compliant... I'd have some VERY interesting pictures since hair can be even funnier than ears. I f you're wondering why Barney looks so vigilent, it was partially due to the strong scent of turkey and pork in the air--and of course because he's a very friendly fellow and always willing to put on a show for a little attention. And man can that dog jump! H e looks a lot more serious with his ears down, doesn't he? And those serious soulful eyes!
