George N. M. Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I used to ask Martha if I bought her 200 pounds of steel wool would she spin and knit me an anvil. "By hammer and hand all arts do stand." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I'll bet you're glad she has a good enough sense of humor to not spin and knit underwear and slip it on while you sleep. We've been out of sheep for years now, I'd have to ask if Deb knows of anybody processing wool. Just because there were 10 years ago doesn't mean anything now. We did buy an old washing machine at a yard sale to process wool without gunking up ours. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Overdue update: Lisa opened the store on April 11, so it's had three full weeks open, concluding with yesterday's Local Yarn Store Day. So far, things have gone extremely well, right up to a couple of our friends stepping forward to cover the store after she tested positive for COVID two days ago. Gross sales in those three weeks were equivalent to her rent for the next year. So, off to a good start. Thank you all for your good wishes.

Frosty Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Congratulations Lisa! Drats, I sent a happy dancing Snoopy GIF a couple hours ago and it didn't post. It wasn't too large I checked and doesn't show in my history. <sigh> Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 That’s funny; I saw it when you first posted it, but I don’t see it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 It's gone again, I guess it violates something and a mod is removing it. Be nice if I knew why, maybe I could do it a different way or stop trying. It messes with my mind I forget things too frequently and if posts, pics, etc. are being removed without notice it's more confusing than ever. Frustration is hard enough for me to deal with but if it creeps into anger I tend to do things I regret, like take it out on someone who doesn't deserve it. Frosty The Lucky.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 8 hours ago, Frosty said: It's gone again I saw it also but think GIF's are frowned upon, especially animated ones. Probably has something to do with excess bandwidth usage. I do love Snoopy dancing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 The mods have contacted me and the animated gif was removed because it as a stop sign as you read the forum demanding that you watch or at least look at the gif. This interrupts the flow of reading. The larger the gif, the larger the stop sign, and the greater the demand to stop. This is also true for colored text. Dark gray, used by moderators, is close to the black color used for the forum text is so there is a small difference in colors, but enough so you can read right on pass the color change. The blue color text is reserved for explanations, if needed. Otherwise you can read the forum at full speed with little or no interruptions. This does not address the issue of the copyright for Snoopy, the copyright by the person doing the animation, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
