I know that the allegory is an often disparaged form of argument, but for me it is almost essential. The allegory creates a visual picture in the mind of an often ethereal concept, and creates a connection that allows many of us to better recall the details of the argument itself. I’m all [...]
I am on the third “odor-destroying” product on the family room carpet. It didn’t seem like it was the carpet was the only culprit, because the cat pee smell in the room was still strong, but not over by the treated area as much as the rest of the room. I had already [...]
OK, I’ve been really busy lately, not so interested in posting after I’m done with this – just reading and responding to other blogs, wouldn’t ya know. . . but I’m going to show you a couple of things I’ve been using that I think are marvelous.
I’ve been doing some sewing, but my [...]
that when the kids have sleepovers, I end up more tired than they are? Geez Louise.
In other news, alisonsews.com is now on wordpress, so I’m finally going to be able to build it right. Many thanks and smoochies to Mr. Hubby Dude. I’ll be moving posts and pictures, then playing with the [...]
I’ve just launched AlisonSews, where all my sewing stuff will eventually be. The tutorials have been moved, I’m working on a couple more, and the pictures will be moved and enhanced with descriptions of techniques, materials, and pattern hints.

This is the costume Carolyn wants me to make. I’ve made the pants. The shirt and top underneath are made as a single piece, and our color motto here is “close enough.” Still have to do the overshirt, hat, and boots.
All night last night, it was going a mile a minute. I have so many ideas. Problem is actually doing something about them when I’m awake, because I’ve been up all night thinking and am too sleep deprived to actually feel like doing anything then. I have an idea for a sewing video, now that [...]
I found two videos by a well-fed and poorly dressed fundie explaining 1. that the word dinosaur comes from “dyna”, like dynamite, “to explode” and “saur”, meaning “lizard”. This explains that the dinosaurs disappeared because they exploded. 2. that the continents did not drift, and that plate tectonics is a lie – [...]
I woke up this morning thinking that the allergies were just worse than usual. Oh, heavens, no! I’m all sploogy and red and raw and sore now, and of course, can’t take anything for it. I looked all over to see if I could find the Vicks Vapo-Rub. It burns when [...]
