The Happy News thread

[Linda]

Uh, JT, I hope that the twin who does not play soccer does not feel left out? I was thinking of that because Dylan's sister kind of does. Because her long distance boy friend happened to call on the day Dylan got back from the science fair, to say he is breaking up with her. Not a very happy day for poor Imie! Uh, sorry. This is the HAPPY news thread but comments kinda go with the flow.

About a two years ago, one of my boys was going out to a dance and came to me with his suit and asked me to tie his tie. I said, "I still don't know how." He made this exasperated sigh and said, "OK! I'll just have to google it!" I didn't think anymore about it, soon he was dressed. After dropping him off at the dance I went up stairs on the computer and sure enough there on the screen was step-by-step pictoral instructions on how to tie a tie! What an amazing age we live in!

That was one of the first things I "googled" ever...in 1997, I "yahooed" it for Priso, since he was useless, and I tied it loosely, and I think it's still the same knot actually, hanging in the closet today.

This si why they have clip-on ties.

I've done this too!!

I've actually looked it up twice. I found a site that sold videos on how to tie different tie knots , but you can also just get step by step pictorial descriptions.

I'm so glad to hear my husband isn't the only one who ties a knot once and then leaves it in forever because he can't really do it. He has a row of knotted ties on hooks...

Worse, he used to cut off the end of the one in back if it was sticking out.

LOL, tis becoming a lost art, the tying of the tie!

In the darkest days of my miss-spent youth, I veered astray and somehow staggered into a three day jaunt as a salesman. Don't ask me how this horrific situation came to pass, for I do not truly know. I can only conclude that I must have been too hung over one morning to pay attention. Anyway, the manager gathered our bright eager young faces together that first morning and passed out a worksheets on how to tie a necktie, complete with diagrams and step by step illustrations. 'Tis the only thing I took with me from that place on the following Friday other than a sense of relief and a solemn committment never to go back. From that day forward, I knew how to tie one (1) specific type of knot on a necktie. I forgot the name of it. It's either a Windsor knot or something else. I forgot which one and don't give a rodent's buttocks.

I have a job interview on monday.

Congratulations. Knock 'em sideways.

I found a copy of The Vulcan Academy Murders in good shape for 50 cents! I'm not so much a TOS fan, but it's Vulcan. And 50 cents. I was quite pleased.

Finally I was able to sleep!
A bit!
