Ah, you have proof? (I should perhaps clarify that I don’t drink it at this time, although I have considered it. I’m not yet convinced that it is right for me. But I have found little or nothing that convinces me that it is bad for you, as long as proper procedures of cleanliness and temperature protection are followed.)

Raw milk is much more dangerous. Fewer people drink it, but more people get sick from it. Milk is pasteurized for a reason.

I have come to the conclusion that some folks are just Against. They are against God, against Christ, against the Bible, against Christians. Truth and logic have nothing to do with it so that in the end, it’s all a mind game to them.

This monthly exercise is interesting because it seems like a useful record for you. Sounds like you had a really good visit with your Mom.

I wanted to tell you that I just found a master recipe for “cream of” soups. She starts off with the basic sauce and then variations. I’ve got it bookmarked and wanted to come pass it on to you. – http://www.milehimama.com/2010/08/23/how-to-make-cream-of-chicken-soup/

Oh! I haven’t tried the dehydrated Swiss chard yet, but probably will soon because we had a hard freeze last night!

I envy you both the family vacation and the creative endeavors. Bummer about the roof and especially about the roof repair. We’ve had roof issues too, so in know how frustrating this can be. Even more frustrating these days, is finding someone to do quality work on a big house project like that.

Comment on Why scrapbook by bibliotecaria2

I look forward to this new episode that’s coming. Maybe one of the topics that could be addressed one day is that the average scrapbooker is a myth!

I would be interested in your response to my thoughts about the creativity aspect affecting your way of doing things. When I heard you say one time that if you didn’t work on a page for two hours or so, then you felt unfulfilled, I knew that we were fundamentally different. If I spent that amount of time on one layout, I would feel like I had wasted my time! But that’s because it doesn’t feed that creative urge, I suspect.

Thanks so much for checking me out, Tensy. I went to your blog and read some of your posts. I hadn’t seen the report on boys vs. girls, so I was interested to read it.

And don’t give up on the Week in the Life. Maybe you can rework it to find a way to make it work for you. I’ve been dabbling in it to see what I can do, because it is right up the alley of what I am liking about scrapbooking more and more, the ability to journal the ordinary events of my life.

Now I find this interesting…your description of an average scrapbooker. So many people have emailed me their own description or definition and so far I don’t think I have found any two that match!

And what’s funny is that I have scrapbooked with a lot of people around my town in Mesa. And the average scrapbooker out here who has never had any participation in the industry at almost the opposite of your definition. They seem to me to be all about the decorating of the page and put very little information on them (except that they do scrapbook chronologically –that part is the same).

I think the real reason we have chosen not to define the average scrapbooker is not because we don’t understand or remember but because there isn’t one. They/we are all so different. But I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts after we release this week’s show! Thank you for adding to the discussion and reminding us that we’re all very different.

Comment on How I approach scrapbooking by noell

Hello! I’ve been thinking about your questions to the PRT and I wanted you to know I’ve been mulling it over. Before you made your topic request, someone else had requested that we talk about why we DON’T scrapbook chronologically and how we make that work. I’m going to try and wrap your own request into the discussion as well, so hopefully we’ll have time to cover both. And hopefully our thoughts will be helpful!

I love the channels that the internet weaves you in and out of…I linked to your blog through a comment on Will Manley’s blog and started browsing your posts. I found Will when I read his column about hating mysteries (which I also dislike.) Then I scrolled your blog a bit further and find out you are a librarian (I am too) and that you like to scrapbook and knit, which are my other two greatest passions after reading and movies. I am much older than you, but started scrapbooking just about 4 years ago and I have been doing it backwards ever since. My kids are in college and beyond and now I have more time to devote to it. Each child has his or her own set of albums and I have been going through the photo albums selecting the best for these scrapbooks. When they officially leave home the scrapbooks will go with them. When I was a child we left Cuba in a hurry and my Mom was only able to take 3 small albums with her. I treasure that album and wonder what I would do in the same situation since I have at least 4 albums for each kid and a variety of theme albums (sports, trips, etc.) I even did one theme album where I took pictures of each room of the house (kids rooms as is, with clothes everywhere) and journaled about the stuff in their closets. I love Ali Edward’s week in the life albums, but I don’t really have THAT much time!
