I found it,just didn't know what it was.

7:29 am
MollyL
Enable allowing words like sh9 annoys the hell out of me
7:30 am
rururocks
is that because you wear your heart on your sleeve?
7:31 am
MollyL
No, because Enable is so otherwise buttoned-up
7:32 am
rururocks
at least you collared the word
7:33 am
MollyL
It's tucked away on my word list
7:34 am
MollyL
I uncuffered it early in my search
7:35 am

'morning, everyone
9:11 am
hokie carla
my favorite onlines are Surge Fabrics, Cali Fabrics, Fabric Fairy, Amanda's Bundles
9:11 am
welki
ha! there's that pesky re6 that gave you such trouble the other day, carla!
9:11 am
BzznBea
Are they all cotton or are there synthetics as well?
9:12 am
hokie carla
hard to find apparel fabric in stores as they mostly just have quilting fabric, but I found a warehouse an hour away that is open to public one weekened a month.
9:13 am
BzznBea
I've been looking at Mood Fabric deadstock.
9:13 am
hokie carla
Fabric Fairy is mostly swimsuit and board shorts. Amanda is mostly knits (which are usually poly blends), and the other two carry knits and wovens for apparel.
9:13 am
hokie carla
Cali and Surge also have a lot of deadstock
9:14 am
rururocks
Deadstock?
9:14 am
hokie carla
hey welki and champ. welki, I can't even rem. what that was now.
9:14 am
BzznBea
Good to know. Thanks. I want to get back to my sewing machine?
9:14 am
hokie carla
designer fabric that they no longer use, they sell it so it doesn't just go to landfills, ruru.
9:15 am
rururocks
keep us in stitches bea
9:15 am
rururocks
oh .. never heard the term.. thought it was fabric with Jerry Garcia on it
9:16 am
hokie carla
they usually don't tell what designer it's from
9:17 am
hokie carla
but I bought some Under Armor athletic fabric a couple of years ago from Surge and she said that's what it was in the description. Found it last month at the warehouse I was just talking about and an employee walking around told me they aren't allowed to say it's UA but he confirmed since I knew.
9:18 am
hokie carla
So a lot of time on Surge website she will say "deadstock from a well-known yoga pants company" or something like that.

hokie is that a 12 or 14 - I think I have that and it's a 12
11:23 am
hokie carla
hey champ, I still need 7 on that one too. haven't really looked at the other so I still need 16

Sugrraleona
I have all the d's if you need assist
11:27 am
hokie carla
don't know what I"m missing so unless something just stands out as super weird or is longer it could be anything. I have one do6 but everything else I have is 4 or 5.
11:28 am
ChampFit
I need a clue for both the lone E and Q please.
11:28 am
Sugrraleona

Well that was easy! TY
11:29 am
hokie carla
yeah, I just tried it on a whim
11:29 am
hokie carla
the E is a bit hard to clue. as bea said, it ends in muscle spasm.

No...it's related to a piece of clothing.
11:44 am
hokie carla
oh, I rem. that
11:45 am
hokie carla
I believe the root means something like sassy or such, so it's not as dumb as you might think. I've never heard someone described as that though.
11:46 am
hokie carla
ok, per M-W it's chiefly british and means angry or irritated
11:46 am
ChampFit
That's like seain telling me this morning that the fi4 is old english for the creature that lives in water which is the spelling we all use.
11:46 am
hokie carla
lol, I guess I'll get that when I see it
11:47 am
hokie carla
just saying, it is an adj so you can make it a superlative
11:47 am
ChampFit
You know I'm not going to use that word!!!!
11:47 am

it's baffling though that shite isn't included

11:53 am
ChampFit
he's not going along with it either!
11:53 am
hokie carla
he was at the grocery store getting some of the hot food in the deli and saw one of the workers in the back eating something like sesame seeds and just letting them fall out all over everything
11:54 am
ChampFit
Lovely.
11:54 am
welki
oh boy - must have been a shirtstorm
11:54 am
hokie carla
so he probably is hangry since he decided not to get anything. and I texted him about chick fil a and he never responded so he missed out on that.
11:55 am
hokie carla
lol, I like shirtstorm
11:55 am
ChampFit
At least he had his phone. My husband leaves his here most of the time. Super frustrating.
11:56 am
hokie carla
well, he usually takes it everywhere but never responds to a text or call.
11:56 am
hokie carla
so he may as well have left it at home

I read a good recommendation that if you are going to use dubious shopping sites like tweezerhead that you use a credit card you reserve for transactions like that. Never use your debit card.
2:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
my credit rating is in the toilet because i have been broke a lot. I cannot get a real creeidt card, only a debit card
2:56 pm
MollyL
You can get a pre-paid credit card.
2:57 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
funny thing, when i was over 30, my dad sat me down and tried to explain monay stuff to me. might have been helpful if he had done that when i was maybe 16 or so LOL
2:57 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
how do i get a pre-paid cc? and how much will that screw up my credit rating?
2:58 pm
MollyL
It won't. If you use it wisely it will help rebuild your credit. Do a google search on pre-paid credit cards. Your bank may offer one.
2:58 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
use it wisely" clearly i don't know how to do that either lol
2:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hmmm, my bank has been useless in helping me rebuild mt credit
2:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
once you screw this up, there's no coming bacjk, i seems
3:00 pm
MollyL
Well, you can't screw up a prepaid card. It won't authorize transactions on more than the balance you pre-paid.
3:01 pm
MollyL
And yes, you can come back from bad credit rating. I know someone who filed for bankruptcy and years later had five credit cards and a car loan. It takes time.
3:01 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hmm, that sounds good. i don't want to screw up my financial stuff any more than it is all ready
3:01 pm
MollyL
And if your bank can't help you rebuild your credit, get a new bank.
3:02 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
no bank i know od is not freakin' evil in one way or anyhother, which is why i'm in a credit union, not a "bank" except technically it does eveyrhintg a real bank does
3:04 pm

also, i don't want to declare bankruptcy. i know a guy who's a bankruptcy lawyer and he ways the b~ laws were rewritten under (George E. pinhead?) and now they are no good for regular people
3:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
plus, one of the reasons my credit is in the toilet is because somehow a "bankruptcy" got onn my credit report, and the notion that you can appeal that or get it fixed is a JOKE
