Mobile air monitoring has found pollutants that have formed the opposite chemical hormone to oxytocin, nazitocin. It was found at the funeral of a ten year old girl killed in a mass shooting. During the 10 year old's funeral another mass shooting killed 5 of the mourners and another 10 at the funerals of the 10 mourners etc. To date 30,000 have been shot. Gun enthusiasts blame the lack of air fresheners to combat the nazitocin in the air.

I voted myself off of Tweed's Facebook island today - the "Just another monkey fishing with a stick" page was funny until earlier this spring when someone started adding bad apples who were more into porn and racist crap than bawdy humor. There is a distinct difference between bawdy and sexy humor over porn and LGBQT+-bashing memes. The new bad apples brought in their friends. (No restrictions on who added people.) I complained privately, it didn't work; complaining on the page only give them glee. I got tired of blocking the new porn folks and just left the building. Too bad. It was good for a while.

THE WRECK OF THE DONALD TRUMP BIG LIE

The legend lives on from Wikipedia on down
Of the big lie they called Donald's last stand
The race, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of Bull Shit twenty-six thousand tons more
The real Donald Trump campaign spent millions
That good ship Trump truth was a bone to be chewed
When campaigns of November came early
The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some rally in Wisconsin
As the big liars go, HE was bigger than most
With a crew and good Donald well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of firms
When they left fully loaded for Victory
And later that night when votes were counted
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And a wave broke over his railing
And every man knew, as the Donald did too
T'was the witch of November come stealin'
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When campaigns of November came slashin'
When afternoon came votes felt like freezin' rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind
When suppertime came, the old cook came in sayin'
"Fellas, it's too late to feed ya"
At seven PM, the election caved in, he said
"Fellas, it's been good to know ya"
Then Rudy phoned in he had bad news comin' in
And the campaign and crew was in peril
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the Donald J Trump run
Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the truth turns the minutes to hours?
The broadcaster all say if he had more votes that day
If they'd put fifteen more States behind him
They might have split up or they might have capsized
They may have broke deep and went to jail
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters
Internet rolls, television sings
In the rooms of his golf resort mansion
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
And farther below Mason Dixon
Takes in what history sends her
And candidates go as the politicos all know
With campaigns of November remembered
In a musty old hall in old Queens they prayed
In the maritime sailors' cathedral
The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Donald Trump ticket
The legend lives on from Manhatten on down
Of the big lie they called lets play dirty
America, they said, never gives up her dead
When campaigns of November come early

Since the lie detector caught on like wildfire
in the US but not in Europe I shall invent the GW trustometer. It MEASURES a combination of auditing, GSR, Kirlian photography of fingertips, and BP. The higher the reading the more untrustworthy/distrust score. If the Kirlian photo shows lines curling back to the fingers and not radiating outward it is a high score.

It was the sound hoofbeats,
Hoofbeats on the cobbled street
Ringing ever louder
That made the bold Rapaire retreat.

He'd heard the deaths of bandits
Of bandits drawn and quartered
Often glorified in song
And he nearly lost his water.

He put up his sword and pistol
An old pistol, black and long
And he headed for the basement stairs
And dragged his Mom along.

They quarreled down in that basement
The moldy basement, dank and cold
Flinching from those hoofbeats
And feeling frail, and old.

So ends the glorious story
Highwayman's story, rich with lies
Hiding in a dingy basement
From hoofbeats which never quite go by.

OLD AGE

The visible and invisible scars
be they superficial or deep scars
are like stars shining today from a time
far far away

Matters that seemed expedient in the now
have evolved to a wisdom beyond life
beyond memory and speculation
beyond love

Handprints on cave walls or stone monuments
are the footprints left by the people who
belong to the ages, more indelible
than typed posts

Slightly more than print or the digital
magnetism stored in computers or knots in a rope
or clay dents on tablets in sanscrit
that are lost

Reduced to traces and hints forever lost

I think my friend spent around $12,000 on hers 20 years ago? They have never been cheap. She finishes quilts for people as well as doing her own. If you read the instructions on regular sewing machines there is a "darning" setting where you drop the feed dogs that can let you do this kind of work on small pieces.

As you know some long arms have programmable features that are complex but that does not mean it can save prep and sizing time of fabric.
here is a basic link https://thequiltshow.com/see-quilts/featured-quilts/fabulous-welcome-brigitte-villeneuve-diane-cote-doris-boivin#gallery

But I could send personal phone pictures by e-mail that could be manipulated at will. There is an interesting variety as well. Some are not anywhere on the web for whatever reason.

I won't dismiss your cellulitis info (I hope no one here has it) but back to the quilt - thanks for sharing the link, I wasn't finding a way to enlarge the one connected with the museum itself.

When the longarm machine is used (I have a friend with one, but it's out in West Texas so I haven't been by to see how it works) is the whole work programmed or does a person stand by and direct the stitching as it happens? Or both. It seems possible to end up off target and not have the outlines you want unless someone operates it manually?

I'm told those long arm devices are very expensive. My friend bought hers about 20 years ago, and I think it's still going strong. Takes up an entire outbuilding on their property.

Patients with a history of cellulitis, particularly of the lower limbs, have an estimated recurrence rate of 8–20%.12 Patients with recurrent cellulitis should be carefully evaluated for any predisposing factors such as lower limb edema, lymphoedema, dermatitis, tinea pedis, and measures taken to address them. Patients with three to four episodes of cellulitis per year despite addressing predisposing factors could be considered for prophylactic antimicrobial therapy so long as those factors persist. A randomised controlled trial of phenoxymethylpenicillin prophylaxis in patients with a history of recurrent cellulitis showed a reduced rate of recurrence in the treatment group with a hazard ratio of 0.55

The recurrence is due to dozens or hundreds of encapsulated strep or staff that can leak into the surrounding tissue. When those pockets progress deep into the body it can be life-threatening. This reminds me of King Henry the 8th and a usual suspect.
