Kiddie Whorehouse Child's Play
It doesn't take much stress to get me cussing hard enough to send bars full of Marines running for the safety of their preachers. My curses tend to be even meaner when I succeed in keeping all taboo words out of the curses. Trust me, Preacher, the Bible has plenty of graphic imagary I can play off of while under the influence of psychosis. The taboo words keep it far cleaner than forcing me to express my frustrations in socially acceptable vernacular. Let a father fuck be a father fuck. Shame on you if you have a socially acceptable vocabulary set for that one. I didn't *choose* the need to deal with the psychopations of father fucking, but here I am with no desire to wrap ^it^ in ribbons and bows. That's my father's avocation. I doesn't want the inheritance.
I made a robe for Hubs yesterday. He is suffering a truly miserable rash which is being aggravated by even the softest of waistbands and inseams. He is a BIG dude, even without the steak belly, and buying clothes off the rack is somewhere between impossible and outrageously expensive. In today's market, homemade clothes are far more expensive for average sized people, such as myself. In his case, we save honest money when I make his clothes and he has the rare treat of clothes that actually fit his unique shapes comfortably. He hasn't had a robe that fit him comfortably since Junior High School. That fact had escaped notice from either one of us until this rash started plaguing him.
We discussed YS's moving dilemma, along with the rest of the Middle-Aged Child drama at the Urban Homestead while I sewed. Yup, you guessed it. The compulsive curses kept popping out quicker than a needle through fabric. Hubs looked more than a bit disconcerted at the combination of crude curses over a stigmatically feminine passtime. It was a first for him, but he's had 38 years to adapt to my creative psycho-ticks.
As I watch the red fade from the sunrise outside my window and wonder where all this is going, I find myself thinking I want to improve on the design of the robe I made yesterday. Despite the clear blue sky surrounding the red glow, it's too cold to continue the caulking on the honey barn. Hubs has volunteered to field the yaddahs of YS's eviction drama. We see what grows and sews.

Cuss, cuss, cuss...… the miserable bastards...… Fuck, fuck fuck.... I'm with you sweetie..... Huge hug
I'm sorry that your husband has a rash.... I had Shingles a few years ago.... Not nice
It's cool that you can sew.... I never learned …. That would be a great skill to learn.....I hope that your hubby enjoys his new robe
Big squishy hug....xo
I consider sewing to be my first engineering discipline and a far more detailed skill set than any of the engineering disciplines I've worked in. My early exposure was from being hemmed in by maternal legs beneath a quilting frame. The frequency with which I introduce sewing tricks to construction sites and engineering rooms has made it to where I've taught more men to sew than women.
I kinda breaks my heart to be watching that skill set in its death throes. It is an immensely valuable skill set.
That's so cool Arf….. My Grandmother was great at sewing and my Grandpa was a tailor and owned a high end men's clothing store.... I should have learned
I could kick myself now.... xo
Never too late, Jan. Arts and crafts stores are always my first stop in shopping for lessons. I've also spotted them in Continuing Ed catalogs. Yea, I'm qualified to teach, but it's MUCH more fun to be a student and there are always new tricks to learn.
Churches and other community centers are where I shop for sewing/crafting circles. The Meet-up pages could be worth a surf. Those can be a smashing social activity when the chemistry mix is good. Beginners are always welcome.
Thanx for the great ideas!!
