He who has the BIGGEST Gun is in CONTROL.<br /><br />That's a hateful message and I won't shop Cabela's again.<br /><br />I was already on the fence before, when CA instituted limits on how much ammo CA residents can purchase over the internet. Cabela's sent me email alerts to stock up before the law went into effect. They weren't gentle reminders. They verged on anti-government rants.<br /><br />I believe that people should be able to hunt responsibly. But I also believe that government should be able to regulate hunting and gun ownership.<br /><br />After these two incidents, I think I will spend my $ with people who don't disseminate such hateful messages.badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-81401178390518452522013-09-06T10:04:09.156-07:002013-09-06T10:04:09.156-07:00that Elle link is frightening.. $165 for a camo t-...that Elle link is frightening.. $165 for a camo t-shirt ? I balked at paying $30 for a high-tech camo hunting t-shirt, got a cotton one for $8 instead. Shop at Cabelas or Gander Mountain for authentic unironic camo, cheaper too.. <br /><br />I asked my highschooler if he'd seen much camo at school, he reported none. Either the fashion has not reached flyover land yet, or he's a boy and doesn't notice clothes much. Hm. He does have some hunting clothes in the closet, so will be ready when it hits. It's hard for a guy to wear camo ironically though. I remember when Castro made camo fashionable the last time, then it was a symbol of rebellion. Now I don't know.

Knitting is very tactile so I want my more involved projects to start with good yarn.badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-478586179072904262013-09-05T13:57:41.865-07:002013-09-05T13:57:41.865-07:00I will try to remember this lesson when the issue ...I will try to remember this lesson when the issue inevitable comes up in my house.

For me that is a time saving of several hours (I'm pretty slow at cutting out). The other way I try to think about time cost is when I'm buying fabric. I try to think about how many hours of washing/cutting/sewing I'm signing up for with the yardage I'm buying.Ms. McCallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190263303526887994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-18626657563656026282013-09-05T08:14:26.957-07:002013-09-05T08:14:26.957-07:00I don't track cutting efficiency but I have th...I don't track cutting efficiency but I have thought about how inefficient my own cutting is.<br /><br />I do recognize a great mom when I see one.
