Puleeze ~

Just a quick hello before I finish packing for rug camp.  Yes, I leave in just a few hours, but before then am having son and grandson over for lunch.  I guess I will never learn to pack ahead.

Yesterday a hook in was held in Ann Arbor, MI, at the Washtenaw Community College.  Always a top notch event, this year did not disappoint.  But really?  Political correctness has gone too far.  There was a men's restroom and next to it was this restroom which obviously used to be the women's.  At first glance, I thought it was the typical family restroom, but check  it out.  Do I really want to be sharing the restroom with a man?  I think not.  The men had their own and I would like the same.  'Nuff said.

A few pictures of our booth.

Sweet bracelets, some of them made from old suspender buttons.

Necklaces made from the tiniest of quillies.

A sampling of rugs from the show. 

Must get packing.

Thanks so much for stopping.

Pug hugs :)

Baby It's Cold Outside ~

 

This 1944 song is now being pulled from radio stations because it "celebrates sexual assault and domestic violence".  I personally think it's political correctness gone mad.  I found the following on Facebook and I think it is worth sharing.

 

"We feel that these other holiday songs must also be removed as they are offensive as well.

 

1. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus: subjecting minors to softcore porn; infidelity

2. The Christmas Song: Open fire? Pollution. Folks dressed up like Eskimos? Cultural appropriation

3. Holly Jolly Christmas: Kiss her once for me? Unwanted advances. Slavery of women

4. White Christmas? Racist

5. Santa Claus is Coming to Town: Sees you when you’re sleeping? Knows when you’re awake? Peeping Tom. Stalker

6. Most Wonderful Time of the Year: Everyone telling you to be of good cheer? making light of mental illness; forced to hide depression

7. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: Bullying

8. It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas: gender-specific gifts: dolls for Janice and Jen and boots and pistols for Barney and Ben - (a twofer: guns and bigotry)

9. Santa Baby: objectifies women, blackmail

10. Frosty the Snowman: Sexist; why not a snow woman?

11. Do You Hear What I Hear: blatant disregard for the hearing impaired

12. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas: Make the yuletide GAY? Wow, just wow

13. Jingle Bell Rock: Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet: animal abuse

14. Mistletoe and Holly: Overeating, folks stealing a kiss or two? How did this song ever see the light of day?

15. Winter Wonderland: Parson Brown demanding they get married…forced marriage

16. Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer: Come on the name says it all! Reckless driving, attempted murder, elder abuse, disrespect"

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.
