Without Colors

People who are totally forbidden from spelling lily wrong: Americans (especially you fucks in Oregon. I know you're sending your Mardu entites), Canadians, English, Australians. People who are clueless. People who get mad at you for not talking to them and then get mad at you when you try to talk to them, no matter how Slovenian, Romanian, or Japanese they are. Navel-less non people. Modest chair people painted gray who don't want to be anything but chairs for others to sit in. People writing summaries... read more

On my recent trip to the East Coast, I had the opportunity to visit New Hampshire and marvel at all of the beautiful fall colors. Unbeknownst to me, there are actually several covered bridges along the Vermont/New Hampshire border, near Interstate 91. (Just like "Bridges of Madison County'" which is on our list of top 10 Romantic Movies of All Time. Sigh!) I reserved an economy car from Hertz, but for some unknown reason, I ended up with a black Mustang! Driving the Mustang was...

I love the mornings when I'm able to get up that is. It seems to be the only me time I get or late at night after everyone goes to bed. This morning is so pretty seeing the sun rises here in the south in he fall. I first thought it was going to rain today, but that’s because there was so much dew in the air it looked like it was going to be one of those yukky I want to go back to bed days and just watch TV or sleep. Thankfully I didn't, because watching the sun arise this morning was so pretty...

Hi, I'm trying to knit a scarf flat as I don't want it doubly thick, however, when I change colors I keep getting a little bar of color (the wrong color) at the very end of the row.  I hope I'm explaining that properly.  I remember slipping a stitch before changing colors at the beginning of the row to prevent this when knitting in the round.  Do I do the same thing when knitting flat?   The little bar is driving me nuts. Thanks! :)

Sometime during the bad word series, a member suggested doing another series for colors. This seemed like a really good idea to me and I decided making my way through old ROY G. BIV would be an efficient way to go about doing this. So, without further ado, here is the first word in our new series: red, n. & adj.
