Biography

Chronic reader, creative dreamer, a LOT of hand skills to make things real, intense health issues that limit my activity, but not my creativity or dreams. Moved to southern Missouri with enough tools and junk to build a life that might work well with my health. One of god’s gigglers, I punctuate with smiley faces and exclamation points when I type, and smile and laugh a lot in real life. (Often at things no one else understands.) And I both curtsy at people (even when wearing grubby work clothes) and purr when hugged, both online and in real life. “Normal” is not a word that has ever been used for me.
Been organic gardening all my life, and bought 4 acres that I have designed from the ground up. Making it happen is being the most fun I have ever had in my life, the best 3D jigsaw puzzle ever! Reading Mollison’s Designer’s Manual was like coming home, ah, THERE I am! A reality where I can use all of my multifaceted talents and skills!
Dumpster diver, recycler, second hand store shopper, I tell people I am attracted to rust and lace. I have violated every warranty I have ever met, I’m a tool using animal, and I use my tools to modify everything in my world. And it only gets weirder...
Bricolage: something constructed or created from a diverse range of available things. Adding ier to a french word means one who does that activity. I am a bricolagier, the things I do are all made of a wide range of things that I have acquired from diverse places.

Hahaha POINTS for you!! I DO have one! Or did.... I tried it for my severe neck pain.  I'll look and see if I still have it!

I'd have NEVER figured that out, THANK YOU!!  :D
Putting a label on it before I forget what it is again!  

EDIT:
Labeled!!
And I looked up where my pillows are, without getting a stool I can't check for sure, But I think it's up there.

Hm.... I came up with a sort of idea for the blue thing, maybe it'll trigger a better thought in others...



See the pale part there used as a connector? I would not put it past mom to say "I don't need this whole breathing thing, this is the only relevant part" and tossing the rest.  She broke her leg hard, and was in the hospital and rehab etc, then in a rental that was wheelchair accessible while I was packing houses so we could move, maybe she got it someplace in all that and moved it so she could exercise her breathing with it?

Weird one here, EVERYONE watch the sky EVERYWHERE for a few days! Comet PanSTARRS has looped around the sun, and the tail of the comet is impacting the Earth. Neat looking aurora type displays in Hawaii already. Check both day and night, there may be meteorites and interesting colors in the sky!

Of course it's reasonable! People have been making down coats for a long time :D  
It's not complex, basically just a puff quilt. There are patterns online for those, and I suspect for down fill coats too.  
I want to see pics when you do it!  :D

I got a job at at Indian restaurant! They have excellent food, and keep their recipes, especially for their flatbread, secret.
I had to sign a paper before they'd hire me, I did, it was just their standard naan disclosure statement.

Do not have one. Wish I did. Threads are weird too

Just checked, doesn't fit my hot water bottles/enema bags either. Drat. That was a good idea :D

Hmm... don't think so. The mouth is too small, I'd make the whole funnel bigger if I was using it for 55s. The thing I use for them is much larger.

Don't think so.
Funnel of some sort? But why are the threads where they are, and what's the bar for?

I'm puzzled... No GUESS what this is. It was in a drawer under the bathroom sink, which really doesn't mean a lot, there was some odd stuff in there.
Plastic. Looks like it's well designed.... to do something....?  No guess.
What is this thing?? (And why was it under the sink, for bonus points!)
