So, I have these earrings. They have very thin
mother of pearl inlay, but one cracked and fell out. So I
got this broken watch with mop inlay. How do I
transfer one to the other without also cracking it?
I really love these earrings. I get compliments on
them everytime I wear them. Help!
I've gotten the cast of the musical down to 20 very
(!!) talented people with double and triple and
4/5/6 casting.
They all have to sing, dance and act. Impossible
here, but who knows what might happen to it out in
the wilds?
Actually, we do have women who can belly dance and
Deb Grammel and her ballet students are very talented.
I think yoiu can learn the can-can and I know you can
learn to square dance. I just discovered this guy
who plays the fiddle like crazy and could do the part of
the old timer and play the fiddle for the ho-down.
What is a ho-down, exactly, and how do you spell it?
Hoe down, like put your tools down and relax, or ho
down like...?
[G/ dad]'s up. gotta get to work. Love, Mom
====================================
are the two pieces the same size? I'm having a hard time picturing
what you're trying to do. if the replacement peice is glued to
something metal, try gently heating the metal to soften the glue, and
then prying the mother of pearl up. Or maybe a bit of acetone nail
polish remover? Just go slow & gentle, whatever you do.
I think it's 'hoe down', like put the hoe down and dance. :) I don't
think people started using 'ho' for 'whore' until much later.
sineater's bday is tomorrow. I don't know what to do or say right now.
He's mad at me because of something skye_ds' ex boyfreind did or
said...it's crazy, and I'm pretty sure that if I try to say "look,
you can't hold me responsible for the actions/words of others" it
will somehow just prove my "guilt" in his mind...so I love him, but I
just can't participate in the crazy. I guess it's better for him to
be united with skye_ds in fighting a 'common enemy' than it is for her
to be keeping him up all night screaming at him for imaginary
offenses he's made against her...I just wish I wasn't the 'common
enemy' especially since I didn't have the satisfaction/enjoyment of
actually doing or saying anything against them!
*sigh* other than that, life is good. The play and Halloween on 6th
St. Monday was fun. We had dinner with friends first, yummy home
cooking at Hoover's.

Tuesday [Cousin B] and I went to Krav Maga. I know you don't approve of
violence, but it's really good for him to get his frustrations out
against an inanimate object & to have positive interactions with
adult men (nothing can totally make up for having an absent father,
but he craves approval from father figures & needs male role models,
whether he realizes it or not) and my cardio health & muscle tone has
improved considerably since we started. Plus we get that nice
endorphin rush from working out so hard. Natural antidepressants!
Last night I went to poly dinner at Central Market, had a nice visit
with my friends, and was asked to be the new poly dinner coordinator!
It sounds fancy, but basically it's me taking restaurant suggestions
for the weekly dinner meet-ups from the group. I know my girlfriends
will help me do a good job of picking places from the list of
suggestions that will have enough parking, accomodate a big group,
have facilities for those who are handicapped, and have enough
variety on the menu so the vegetarians and meat eaters can all find
something to eat. Even though I'm hetero/mono, I still really like
spending time with the polys, they're good folks.
