Re doilies: My Norwegian grandmother was expert at making those. Elaborate, big ones. Using nothing more than cotton thread & a crochet hook. Arrived USA as a kid in the 1880s. I inherited a drawerful of them. Too bad they’ve all turned yellow.
I think what Adam was confusing a doily with was a trivet, for putting very hot dishes or pots, onto serving tables. These were often made from some carved wood, like Teak. Newer trivets are ceramic or a high temperature plastic.
I beleive it was a dowel (dowel rod). They are round sticks used for arts and crafts.
Use some blueing in the wash to get rid of that yellowing. 🙂
The 200 Nigerian girls live in a tent city, do they? What does it cost daily to feed them in a third-world backwater? Do they have a makeshift kitchen facility set up? Do they truck in big tanks of water? How much did their tent city cost & what do they sleep on there? Where do they poop? How do they bathe? How do they wash their clothes? Who provides them with toothpaste & tampoons? What does it all cost per day? Where does the money come from? So many questions …
The girls live at a crummy military “facility” & it sucks. Food is in short supply. Big tanks of clean water? Don’t make me laugh. They sleep on the ground. They poop wherever. Bathing, a spare outfit, laundry facilities, toothpaste & tampoons are 1st world luxuries & are not available. This is assuming that any of the scenario is real.
There, I answered my own dumb questions. >hic<
And it is a good thing you answered your own question, because many people in here needed that. Half of them tho, are still in denial.
Sorry — I laugh every time I hear it on the news; these 200+ girls, where could they be hiding, we’ll find them eventually. Har! Google knows where they are, but isn’t saying.
We (the US) seem to cherry-pick who we feel obligated to come to the defense to. We ignored the plight of the Nepalese, when Red China invaded and came that country as it’s own territory. Displacing the Buddhist equivalent of the Vatican court, when their religious leaders had to flee for their lives. As the Chinese surely would have imprisoned or killed them all. Millions more of the Nepalese people have forcibly subjugated to Chinese rule. How forcibly, we can only guess at. Especially since the news media choose never to cover this. Or our government kept them from telling us. All we know is it happened, “get over it”.
But now we have this small band of Nigerian rebels, kidnapping a relatively tiny number of its citizens. And we choose to make a big deal about this. Far more than an enemy nation, having conquered a friendly and revered neighboring nation. Who apparently just doesn’t matter much, because it lacked any oil or other mineral resources, we value. This concern over some Nigerian girls is all politics. The closest movie simile might be “Wag the Dog”. And the closest previous simile would be the Iranian Hostage situation of 1978-80. Which helped swing the US Presidential election. Coincidence?
I’ve pricked the ears of community development. Tell the lawn-manicuring, poison-spurting lemmingbeings that I still think they’re all fucks. I fucking hate groupthink.
The scrutiny. It burns.
****ejaculated Tim,****I fucking hate groupthink.*******
Still, I betcha vote R/D and accept AGW as your lord ZOD and saviour just like bobbo. And may no one rend you asunder.
Actually, the only time I voted in my life was the 2008 and 2012 primaries for Dr. Ron Paul; He whom cured my apathy.
As it stands now, I can’t chat… the grass police are staging outside — funny, that. A couple curly-headed faggoty looking feds outside with tag 723-BUE — They know I saw them… gettin’ hot.
Danger passed. They were only military CID — you can tell by all the AZT injections lying around with the cigarette butts…
Its amusing to me that you think you know politics well enough to opine there is some magical characteristics of Third Party Candidates versus D’s and R’s.
The truth is: they are ALL more the same than they are different.
Most TP candidates are nut cases. Paul is a text book example of the problem with them: ideologues on important social issues, taking money under the table just like everyone else.
Asshats all===just as those who support them.
You all are looking for “SAVIORS” in your political overlords. Fact is, they are the worst shit stains. They should be elected and jailed only as the necessary evils they are. Pull your head out of their asses for all that is good and holy!!!!
VOTE ALL INCUMBENTS OUT OF OFFICE….. and once out of office, don’t let them Back In.
In at least this one instance, I agree with you. And probably many others do to. When I first heard of the Tea Party. I couldn’t help remembering the Green Party, which diverted votes and funding from the Democrats. Helping the Republicans to win that Presidential election. As if that matters any. Then nothing more was heard from them, they were dissolved.
The TP did the same in 2008 and perhaps 2012 too. Helping the Democrats win the election, by dividing the votes and funding on the Republican side. Again, as if it really matters which party’s leader is in office to rubber-stamp what the corporate insiders want.
Eventually the TP and its leaders will be as forgotten as the Green Party’s Ralph Nader. But perhaps another diversionary party will be dreamed up, to make the oppose party’s votes stronger. Thus, easier and more believable than fixing voting machines. And fooling the voting public that their vote counts.
But not for real, if only one diversionary 3rd party is allowed at one time, that sides in some way with one of the primary two political parties. So it gets a chunk of the votes of one, but not the other party. Heaven help us to have four or more, serious, unique, and independent, political parties. Allied to none of the traditional two.
I predict this future diversionary party will have something to do with Global Warming. Either denying it, or supporting it. Failing that, either a pro or con Immigration party. Whatever it says it’s about. It will be something to keep us busy, while the wool gets pulled over our eyes, again.

Umm. I didn’t realize you’d never seen anything i’ve ever posted, these last years.
Personna management software slipping?? Cell towers ramping up {presumably to compensate for atmospheric ducting} at 3:00 am busting you out of REM sleep??
opps. I meant the Dawn Chorus, not ducting.

So the ice might melt of part of the South Pole. I have a feeling that’s been happening for millions of years. It wasn’t, the snow and ice would accumulate to be miles high. And all of those times it happened before, I’m pretty sure humans had no hand in causing it. Just as they’ll have no significant hand in stopping or preventing it. But I’ve haven’t heard a damn thing from the UN scientists about any natural forces being beyond our control or influence. They seem to thunk that everything is caused by human existance. And everything is solvable with enough money thrown at it. Naturally, they’ll get a percentage of that money, put towards these follies. Since they’ve put themselves in the position of being the only authorities on knowing how to spend the loot. This isn’t about being paid by any Oil corporations, or Nuclear corporations, to deceive the world. It’s about creating lucrative careers and positions, for middle men of the near future. Who are experts at nothing, but creating and preserving their own plush jobs. The Emperor’s New Clothes tailors, if you will. Fitting a near naked and half starving world with their Invisible Climate Protection wardrobe. Keep warm.
Glenn: The FACT of AGW is SCIENCE!!!!!!
How everyone wants to corrupt it, seize power from it, make money off of it is POLITICS!!!
Stop confusing the two.

So the ice might melt of part of the South Pole. I have a feeling that’s been happening for millions of years. It wasn’t, the snow and ice would accumulate to be miles high. /// Yes, of course thats true. Not an issue, even after you bring it up.
And all of those times it happened before, I’m pretty sure humans had no hand in causing it. /// Correct. Thats what makes THIS TIME so different. Your presentation of this issue is like saying: “Humans have always died, so there is no issue if you shoot me with your gun.”
Just as they’ll have no significant hand in stopping or preventing it. //// They have feet and hands, and machines, and entire civilizations DIRECTLY CAUSING IT. aka–buring coal and oil creating co2, changing the chemistry of the atmosphere and heating it up. Can’t you follow a bright light in a dark room?
But I’ve haven’t heard a damn thing from the UN scientists about any natural forces being beyond our control or influence. /// The Sun’s output and the Earths tilt and orbit around the Sun forms the heart/baseline of the model used to assess the impact of co2 pollution. You can’t assess human impact without establishing the natural non-human elements first.
They seem to thunk that everything is caused by human existance. /// Expressly and logically not the case.
And everything is solvable with enough money thrown at it. /// That used to be true. Sadly THE POINT is that we are moving past the tipping points where “anything” (sic) will be possible to do to prevent calamity.
Naturally, they’ll get a percentage of that money, put towards these follies. //// So what?
Since they’ve put themselves in the position of being the only authorities on knowing how to spend the loot. /// Horrible conflation here. Most of the IPCC scientists don’t address the possible solutions. That comes from Algore and other Hucksters.
This isn’t about being paid by any Oil corporations, or Nuclear corporations, to deceive the world. /// The part that is exactly that is exactly that. USA lags the world in accepting the SCIENCE of AGW. Why is that??—vested Oil and Gas interests against it. Nuclear still trying to find a lie that Nuke is clean and doesn’t create poisonous waste products.
It’s about creating lucrative careers and positions, for middle men of the near future. /// Nope, we will all be either underwater or fighting with one another over whats left of civilization above the water line.
Who are experts at nothing, but creating and preserving their own plush jobs. The Emperor’s New Clothes tailors, if you will. Fitting a near naked and half starving world with their Invisible Climate Protection wardrobe. Keep warm. /// You are all over the place on this free floating nonsense.
Interesting to read where the Anti-AGW nonsense finally ends up….. Hallucinating. Amusing if so many others weren’t too similarly infected. Pedro==is this a contact disease or can you get it by reading the conspiracy and never the Science???
Silly Hoomans.
You have the GALL to claim someone else us a silly human, and you refuse to look at the pictures you paint. Is your real name Dorian Gray?
When you deny Science… you are a silly hooman Being.
When you deny everything else, you are talking to Pedro.
Easy.
