It always amazes me too what pops up when you use a search engine. I always feel I have to sit with my kids if they g**gle anything, who knows what they may click on.

My ex-boyfriend’s cat used to sit on top of the monitor and hang his head off the front, watching the screen. And my cat just lays under my desk light, soaking up the meager warmth. It’s got a compact fluorescent bulb in it, so she’s not getting much, poor thing.

I think we need a picture of Zoe in front of the computer. And she is trying to get you to pay attention to you. I will try and get you a photo of my living storage solution for my sock stash.

Here’s my nomination for strangest search engine phrase (and why they got directed to the site from it, I have no idea, but here goes):

“ducks with syphilis in California”

??!! I didn’t even know there was such a thing! I was in the fetal position for about 2 hours after I read that.

I’m still trying to figure out what this: What pan size do you use for St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake, has to do with knitting and the Loopy Ewe.

Thanks for my Loopy Kisses today - much needed after the weekend travel

lol….isn’t the internet a strange place at times. OK, I have to admit that this one has me giggling and scratching my head: “how to put perm rods in your husband’s hair”. My hubby shaves his head since he’s already half bald but I still couldn’t imagine him letting me put perm rods in his hair even when he still had hair long enough to do it. He claims it saves him money on the hair cuts. Although when I was a kid I use to brush my grandpa’s hair and put barrettes in it. It was a favorite for all us grandkids. We have tons of pictures of a 6 ft, gruff, white hair man with about 30+ barrettes and clips of every shape and color in his hair.
I found you by doing a g**gle search but it took me awhile to come back and buy something. I”m glad I came back out here to your site.

AHAHA!! One of those is MINE! (The search for “how many shots in a venti starbucks”…..I was reading your post about something Starbucks related, and I thought I could swear a venti had three shots, not two - or two shots, not three…I can’t remember now and it seems terribly unimportant, so why on earth I was doing this in the first place escapes me - and so I started searching for it, and then just ended up back here when I couldn’t seem to settle on anything.)

Hee.

I guess we should all stop commenting about trying to perm our husbands’ hair.

And the answer to #4 — Not enough.

I didn’t find you through Google; I found you through Wendy and Miriam. But I have found a lot of wonderful stuff through those search engines. Need to know how to pick up double wraps in a short row heel? Need to look for yarn reviews? What’s a turkish cast on and is it easier than that blasted Figure 8? It truly is a wonder to be able to type in any phrase and in less than 5 seconds have the answer you’re looking for.

Ooh, more Apple Laine. I just started knitting my “Blueberry” up and it is wonderful stuff! (Of course, I haven’t quite found a sock yarn that I didn’t like yet. I’m sure there is one, but I haven’t found it.)
