Here it is warm and lovely and sunny, and I had a bit of a lie-in. LAST to attack a lovely day. Taking my sister for lunch; it is her 56th birthday today. May follow that up by taking Luce to the old guy's for a swim, as we didn't get up early enough for the beach this a.m. (Well, she was up and willing, I'm sure, but not me...)
 
It is chilly and fall-like here today. I saw this on Facebook. It says it best.

Okay I can't post the picture itself. It says "Can't decide if I need a hug, an XL coffee, a new pile of yarn or two weeks sleep"
 
Chilly here too, although I don't think we had frost overnight (tomatoes are covered as it was probably a bit too cool for them). Thermostat was turned on last night but I didn't hear the heat kick in - tempted to turn it up. As the ACs are still set up things are a bit cooler than they would be if the windows were completely shut.

Most people with epilepsy have something they call an aura ChemGal. Some people before having a seizure will actually hear music, or smell a particular smell. My aura is just a sense, an inner sensation that a seizure is about to occur. It's a warning sign that I should sit/lie down and prepare myself for what's about to occur.

I'm just surprised to hear your doctor doesn't want you around sharp knives if you consistently get auras. I guess there's always the risk of not getting one or recognizing it in enough time. I know my HAE prodromes (aura that occurs beforehand would also fit prodrome definition) aren't consistent - differ in time, extremity and symptoms, and some of the exhaustion I get may be masked thanks to the fatigue I'm having from other problems. Not sure if I even get them all the time or if it's just I didn't identify one that did occur.

ETA Google tells me I'm wrong. Auras are actually part of the seizures, epileptic prodromes are something else. I can understand that better now, if the auras are actually initial phases of seizures and not just warning signs it does seem much riskier to rely on them.
 
Knitting needles are not sharp knives, however, which is where this discussion started. While a knitting needle could conceivably be used as weapon it is hard to imagine an unintentional injury with one of them. Knives are a different story - - you could easily hurt yourself with a sharp knife if one were in your hand when you experienced a seizure.

On a related note, when on jury duty a few years ago we were not allowed to take knitting needles into the courthouse. This seemed pretty silly to me. A pen or a pencil could also be used to inflict harm, right?

I got the returns switched from warm to cold and cleared the summer programs from the thermostat on the weekend so we are all ready for turning on the furnace. Naturally, London is getting a warm spell this week:D.

My great grandma had a knitting needle go far into her knee as a kid. She was told she would never be able to walk. While she defied the doctor it did cause her life long issues with walking. If unable to be around sharp knives, I also understand the need to be away from knitting needles, unless they have rounded tips.
 
Bamboo needles have tips that aren't as sharp as metal needles.

They were created so people could knit in church without making the clackity clack noise. :)
 
I have tried bamboo needles and found them very "sticky". Someone told me they are wonderful for slippery yarns such as silk.
 
I like bamboo for the finer yarns too. They are definitely better for silk lace weight when you want a bit of sticky. I like wooden for socks. They have the right amount of sticky and slippery. :)

Disagree. Knitting needles are long and pointy. Real damage could be done with them. Imagine if they hit someone's eye or something.
 
It's de roll thing to disagree with everything ... that's god motive ! Then there are the de vile thinkers ... somewhat veiled due to need to stay out of sight of blind Gods ... thus the dirt to form horizons where the light parts can bend around it ... the dark fixations? Well they're just instituted like Murphy and Ratchets law ... cranked wrenches ...
 
"Can't decide if I need a hug, an XL coffee, a new pile of yarn or two weeks sleep"
All the above except the coffee. Rain off and on as we traveled and delivered papers. I'm totally confused - papers arrived today with the correct date yet the PDF - which I sent to the Advocate and what the papers were printed from - has the wrong date.
 
LAST, as I consider a (small) dinner, having feasted mightily on sushi for lunch, even topping it off with a fried banana and a red bean ice cream. Might be poached eggs with some tomatoes from the backyard...

Well, knitting needles likely won't be hitting anyone's eye unless there is intent to cause harm. Ditto for a pen or pencil.
