No Story Again

I have no story to post again this week, as I spent all my free time trying to get my blogs reinstated after being flagged and locked down for having inappropriate content. That would be all of my blogs, which is about a dozen over the twenty years. I still have no idea why. I feel like if I get anymore G-rated Disney will start courting my content.

Here's the really strange part: the one blog they didn't lock down was PBW, on which I did use the eff word at least once and posted all those John & Marcia satires, which did have some spicy parody.

The post that seemed to trigger the lockdown (or was flagged by someone as inappropriate was the one I wrote about finishing the spool project. So there you go.

On the even more depressing front, one of Kat's friends passed away this week; she was only 23 years old and a T1 diabetic. I don't have any details other than that, but it breaks my heart. My kid will be flying home on Sunday for the funeral, so we're getting ready to see her through all this.

I am so very sorry on the loss of Kat's friend. Never something one wants to have happen at any time but at such a young age, it's especially tragic. :(

Sorry too about the blogs. I don't understand AI. They program it to find all the wrong things. And if someone, anyone, reports a blog, they either shut everything down and ask questions later or don't bother to shut anything down and tell the person reporting it that they're wrong. Generally, the shut down is for the wrong reasons and the legitimate report is ignored. Go figure. I'm glad you got them back.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Kat's friend. Death is tough at any age, but 23...that's just wrong. I especially feel for the young woman's family. I can't imagine losing a child so young.

re: blogs
I've given up trying to figure out what makes their algorithms tick. But most likely someone thought they were doing humanity a service protecting them from unsafe spooling. LOL!

At least you're back.

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...

Progress

My guy is back home safe, sound and exhausted. I think he just realized he's over seventy now. :) I didn't finish a sewing project while he was gone, but I did make some progress on the beach bag. I've tacked down all the fabric elements on top of the old backing fabric I quilted. Time to break out the embroidery thread box and have some fun.
