Subdeacon Joe Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 My wife started crocheting again a few weeks ago. I bought a little twin lamp work light that she can wear on her neck so she can better see her work. I tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we went to the farmers market this morning the temperature was about 37°F which would be a bit chilly on my noggin with my receded hairline. Warm and toasty. The yarn was on a clearance shelf, I saw it and said, "That would make a nice watch hat." She asked if I would wear it. "Sure!" said I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We listen to each other, and she does "guy speak," no mind games of, "You should know what I mean." Oh, we do kid each other, but even with that, it will mostly be kidding on the square. If called on something we will make good on it. Unless it's something like, "Love, will you buy a gold Rolls Royce for me?" "Mere pocket change! Only one?"

Also sometimes my right wrist will pop and it feels like a big electric shock through my whole body, and the wrist aches for hours afterwards. When I try to recreate it for a doctor it doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
