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.

The heron or egret dilemma comes up all the time here. I see one or the other out in the water, want to point it out but don’t want to give my ignorance away so just call it a big bird.

Those are truly beautiful cross stitch designs!!! I believe the bird is a Snowy Egret but I think she took a bit of artistic license with it, too, which make for the confusion!

How can you not have grey boots? Shouldn't this be rectified STAT?
