3:52 pm
rururocks
Garbage bag matts?
3:56 pm
aebmusica
Yes ...you take a plastic bag(used to hold groceries) snip off the bottom and the handles. You cut open the bottom and the you cut five or six strips from each bag. Now you have a round oval and you connect each oval(Like the paper chains for xmas trees)> Then you crochet the strips as you would yarn except that you are crocheting with double threads.
3:57 pm
Betsy Ross
sorry, so engrossed in board! I dont knit but love to crochet granny afghans...I also do plastic canvass. Garbage bag mats how interesting. Never heard of them before.

*hugs zooz* Hello, dear man! How are you doing? Is your mother any better? And how is your father holding up?
4:51 pm
zoozzoom
No mother is the same. Father is plodding along lol. how are you keeping?
4:52 pm
sprite
I am pretty well, thanks. Very busy, and throwing out all built-up clutter is quite the process. Brings up so many old memories, and not all of the pleasant kind. But it cleans out, not just the house, but also our minds... which is a good thing.
4:53 pm
zoozzoom
Oh I have been doing those stretch exercises. for my legs and it has not worked yet. But giving it a good go :-)
4:54 pm
zoozzoom
De-cluttering is a good thing. Although i could not get rid of any of my books..or music. Old clothes is easy enough.
4:54 pm
sprite
might take a while for it to work. But if it doesn't, please consult your gp. It would be silly to continue to have issues, while there might be an easy fix.
4:54 pm
zoozzoom
Glad you are geting rid of things that remind you are bad times though, Sprite! Good for you.
4:55 pm
sprite
we are decluttering everything. From eating utensils to books and music and ... what is the english word... the written music that you play your instrument from.
4:55 pm
zoozzoom
Shame we can not do the same with our horrible dreams we have.
4:55 pm

4:55 pm

too true. I had a doozy, two nights ago. When I woke up, I felt like I would never ever want to go back to sleep again.
4:56 pm
sprite
sheet music! That is it, thanks Gemini and zooz
4:56 pm
zoozzoom
Oh I hate those ones. I also get ones where I wake up and am in such a panic my heart is racing.
4:57 pm
zoozzoom
Athough my blood was boiling last nigh not from dreams but from next door being ruddy noisy untill 5:45AM!
4:57 pm
sprite
oh yeah. Am sorry you suffer from them too, zooz. It can be rather nasty.
4:58 pm
sprite
wth! That is so antisocial! Weren't you inclined to call the police?
4:59 pm
zoozzoom
No not really, Sprite. I think I would have a panic attack if I did that. But I did slam my atlas book hard against the wall but that did nothing to them. The walls here are very very thin. But they did not seem to care.
5:01 pm
sprite
ring their doorbell tomorrow morning at 6 am :D
5:01 pm
zoozzoom
Also if I called the police they most certainly would not come out for anything like that. They do not go out for burglaries hardly anymore. They just give you a crime number so you can claim from your insurance. Country has gone down hill.
5:01 pm
sprite
and tell them: Thank you so much for sharing your evening and night with me. I want to return the favour by sharing my morning with you.
5:02 pm
sprite
wow, that is lousy. Here, they still come if we call.
5:02 pm
zoozzoom
What I did do was get up at 8:am had my bath and around 9:AM I went to slam my doors but they were already up laughing and chatting then they went out. I could not believe it. i would of been dead to the world. Oh to be young again lol
5:03 pm
zoozzoom
Would love to do that, Sprite. But I know my panic attacks would kick in.
5:03 pm
sprite
no thanks, lolllll. I feel like I have never been happier than I am now. I do not long back to the days of yore, grinnnnn.
5:04 pm
sprite
just kidding, I wouldn't do that either. But the thought is nice, isn't it?
5:04 pm
zoozzoom
LOL true true.
5:05 pm
zoozzoom
My dad said just bang on their door and when they answer the door smash them over the head with a baseball bat. Funny thing is he would of done that back in the days.
5:06 pm

also a lovely thought, lol.
