Give Us This Day Our Daily Thread

May your God protect the junior school you from a TankTop-knitting Grandma.

Here’s a picture of me when I was about four or five (back in the Revolutionary War era). Looks like I had the bowl haircut too, except that I was never blonde!

I love the idea of this thread and it's clever name @Tricia (I was also raised Catholic!)! And you don't need to ask me twice but you might be sorry you asked what is going on with me today!

Sooooo...I worked till 11pm last night and I've been up since 4:30am because this is the busiest few months at work, and we are short-staffed as usual. I'm doing the job of 3 people, and am super annoyed at all the partners who seem to not do anything but order us around. I am actually trying to take time off for Thanksgiving and people keep piling more stuff on my plate when all I want on my plate is Thanksgiving turkey and tons of stuffing! Grrrr! And speaking of Thanksgiving, I haven't had any time to go to the store and I have a prescription that I should have picked up Sunday but too busy working and I have a dentist appointment today that I can't reschedule because the next available is February and I'm freaking out because I'm sure I have a cavity and yes I'm stressed! LOL!

And on another note - I am SO bummed that I've only been able to attend one Guardians Zoom call! I take care of my niece and nephew every other weekend and they've just happened to fall on those weekends. I might be able to join the one coming up for the first hour. But I'm sad because I greatly enjoyed the first one!

Phew! Thanks for coming to my Ted talk and rant, hahaha.

P.S. Tricia I think you look adorable! I had some seriously awkward kindergarten photos, unlike the kids of today who seem to dress in all the latest cute fashions and have their own skin care and beauty regimes, haha.

Thank you for sharing. We can all relate in some way. Hey, we LOVE kids on the Guardin Zoom call. Keep your camera on and pop in when you can. Let the kids run around and go nuts and we will join them. LOL

YES YES YES​

Love the gas can sitting behind me. That looks safe. ETA: I have no idea why my jump rope is tied to my hula hoop. Perhaps I was hoping to lasso something?

@MrsWatson I love the fact that today cops would be called because you are sitting by a gas can. Back then...eh no big deal. LOL I think your hula hoop looks very trendy with the attachment.

I should learn to do muliple quotes in one post but hey I only manage this joint. I don't know everything.

And my hair is short to this day, although I don’t have a bowl cut anymore lol.

I was so lucky. One of my grandmother's was an excellent seamstress and very fashionable. She made me some amazing outfits that my parents could never have afforded to buy me. God Bless grandma Donna.

She made the little tennis themed outfit I am wearing here (pictured: me at left, some cousins and my little brother at right)

WOW, TLCYA, you do look like the fashionista of the neighborhood. Glad you had a talented seamstress/grandma in your life. That is so cool.

Adorable!

My and my sisters suits that my seamstress grandmother made were exquisite and very cute.
Amazing intricate work.

But there was I almost a teenager and having to wear the exact same thing as my seven year old sister.

I am glad my mother never mentioned it again and just packed it away out of site.

Actually I think Mum packed away my sisters too
Neither of is wore them again.

Even though I went to Catholic school for 12 years, luckily there was no wardrobe trauma because all the girls wore uniforms and the boys wore dress pants and shirts.

I’m no longer Catholic lol.

I went to a private religious school for part of my school years and I always wish we had uniforms. It would have made things a lot more simple!

 

[arielilane]

Fantastic thread idea, @Tricia.
Raised Catholic too, but Im over that. lol
I actually love your cool outfit, Tricia. Am a big fan of tartan, it never goes out of style.


@MrsWatson, I loved my hula hoop, but it didnt love me back. I sucked at it.

 

[Spy Versus Spy]

I still love my Hula-Hoops

It did for me and my parents, that’s for sure!

Hey Everyone.
We are starting a new Websleuths Daily Thread. I took the title from my Catholic upbringing.
The Daily Thread will start on December 1st.
Years ago, I was a member of a forum called Justice Watch. It was great. It focused on the JonBenet case.
Justice Watch had a huge daily thread where everyone checked in every single day and talked about all kinds of things. It made us all feel like we were a team.
I hope you will join me on the Daily Thread.
Each month will have its own thread starting December 1st. Each day, I will start a new post under the Daily Thread. I'm up past midnight working anyway, so I'll title the post with the current date and then post about something in my life. After you realize how boring my life is, you will be grateful. Trust me. Heh.
On the last day of each month, I'll lock the thread and start a new one for the next month.
It's going to take a while to get it going, but I am not going to give up. It may be me babbling to myself for a while, but that's OK. I do that around the house all the time anyway. Ha.
It will be here in this forum Today on Websleuths. It will be public.
You can talk about anything. I hope we stay away from politics, but if we go down that road, we will deal with it when it happens.
The rules of Websleuths still apply. The biggest rule?
DON'T BE A JERK.
Sorry, didn't mean to yell.
What are your thoughts on the Daily Thread? Post them here, please.
See you on December 1st.
Tricia
PS. Here I am in all my dorky glory.
OMG WHO DRESSED ME???? I was 6 years old here. Plaid skirt, and I have no idea what that design is on my shirt. No wonder I stay in my house 24/7 and talk to myself. I was traumatized by my clothes.

I’ve never seen these before. Are they crisps? I don’t think they sell them on this side of the pond.
