The visual of you getting chased around the kitchen by the scorpion just made me laugh...thanks for the story!
Ha! Brat, put me in the summer pile please! I just found my table runner pattern on the internet! Now I'm in limbo again . . . waiting on my partner to get colors. Machine is still in the garage. Looking like we're hitting 100 degrees on Monday. I'll be sewing EARLY in the morning (garage is still cool). Trying to get my gd home where she belongs . . . and get my sewing room back (with AC).
Found my first hairy desert scorpion just strolling through my kitchen like he owned it. Tried to schew him out the door with an envelope and the stinker chased me all around the kitchen. Every time i pushed him with the envelope he came back at me. Have to start wearing bigger shoes. Just had my flip flops on and he was too big to squish with wimpy shoes. He's gone now though.

(any of you not agreeing with this shush now I am talking first!).. please? por favor? I would hate to have to do a sewing theme or like airplanes or flying machines or something.. so whip on over and raise those numbers. The silly woman has ok'd this AND she wont let me vote 50 times like American Idol does. Or I would

The very first swap I participated in was a Santa block swap. All the blocks had to have Santa on them. Some were pieced Santa faces, and some of blocks were using Santa fabrics. The blocks made a cute quilt. Got me hooked for sure. I voted seasonal.

I agree! The buzzer in & out of the facility is very important if you have a senior who wanders. Where my dad's mom lived, they had someone stationed at a desk in the main sitting room at the front door. They had to buzz you in & out. Where mom's mom was, there was no danger of her wandering off, so that wasn't an issue. Where my boyfriend's grandmother was, until she died at 103, you could get in, but you had to be buzzed out.
SO, when they decided to keep him overnight, they put him on a geriatric floor (nurses who can lift) and put a bed alarm under him so the alarms would go off if he got up again.
Talking about being buzzed in & out of facilities made me think of being buzzed in and out of your own bed to pee.

It worked until Doogie passed out again ON the Dr, they both fell backwards and the Dr ended up ripping the "oh sh!t" handle off the wall with his back.

They ended up letting him go early, too early in my opinion, because he wouldn't behave and pitched such a fit about it all.
