I was having all these happy thoughts about your book and bag and knitshare and wincing at your arthritis when my eyes got all cartoon big with "Are you YOU KNOW WHAT kidding me?!?"

I've actually had elderly men tell me to smile at the grocery store! Usually I ignore them, but once, I turned to one who made the suggestion and said, "Why are you looking at me?" in a slightly raised voice. <br /><br />That took care of that.<br /><br />Love the knitty bag!Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-75691565625489822832017-08-17T12:16:39.793-04:002017-08-17T12:16:39.793-04:00Sounds like your company is operating in the dark ...Sounds like your company is operating in the dark ages...not just this example, but others you have provided that would actually be very funny if they were not real.

Steve taught those (and ethics training) for years. Maybe he could catch her up to the fact that it is now 2017 and women are no longer sweet little objects.<br /><br />Solar is a GREAT pattern.
