Ok sewing peeps. I need to add a front pouch pocket to my polyester work skorts. I looked to see if there were iron on options and all I’m seeing is teeny shirt front pockets. I realize this is niche . Is there such a thing ? My skorts are old , so it doesn’t have to be fancy . I don’t sew.

And that's just the tip of a busy election month.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

They are so willing to proceed until exposed/apprehended. This is their MO.
So the US was aware that the world thought the document was US endorsed, yet waited until now to clarify that it wasn't?
How could the US have communicated to Ukraine that they had to accept the proposal or lose US support without clarifying that the Russian proposal wasn't actually their proposal?

I’ve been to the one on Snohomish. Really enjoyed it. Love that it’s just down from the other Pie company .
Is it a dive bar or a pie bakery? Why not both? There has been much rejoicing since Pie Dive Bar opened its third location in La Conner this September.

Of course, we all understand what the conservative justices as a whole are likely to do… but his move sets up their turn.
