Questionnaire

Why do people go through other people's phones?  Has anything good ever come of that?

How could someone ask if Animal Farm was based on a true story?*

Is it possible for numb fingers to hurt?  Asking for a friend.

Remember me telling you about cross-stitch designer Sally King?  Look at the cover of the latest Stitchery:

Pretty, huh?  She's quite remarkable.  Possibly my favorite design is "Along the Riverbank":

It's my favorite, I think, because of the ingenious use of the water bird as the heel.  (I spent far too much time online trying to figure out if that's a heron or an egret.  I landed on egrets in my own mind, but decided to use "water bird" so as not to offend or show my ignorance.)  King also has a sewing-themed shoe with a stack of spools of

 thread as the heel.  Amazing imagination. 

Why don't I have any gray boots?  

*All of you --- no matter where you are --- most likely heard me shouting " YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!," hands covering my face, when I saw that question.  Tap bolted awake and started a serious Warning Bark.  We take ridiculousness very seriously in this house.
