Dear Yahoo,
Your messenger program has been crashing or freezing up my computer on startup about 75% of the time. Therefore, I have EXORCISED YOU FROM MY LAPTOP! BEGONE! THE POWER OF GATES COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF GATES COMPELS YOU!!!
Sincerely,
Me
OK, so…I’m off chat for now. Does anyone have a nice, easy to use FREE chat service that I can use my yahooID and friends list with? kthx. Until then, I won’t be able to provide entertainment for various friends bored at work or home. I provide a quality service for my friends. OK, trillian installed and I’m back online. If trillian pisses me off, I’ll try meebo.
OK, now to some pleasantness. Some OMG AMAZING YARN PRON!
Click the pic for descriptions. I bought this yarn off ebay from ebay seller foiled48. I believe he’s going out of business soon, so if you want some, snatch it up quick. It’s 100% New Zealand wool, and that there is a total of about 9 lbs of a DK 2-ply (about 3000 yards of each color), so if I want sweaters I’ll probably have to double it up. Boohoo…IT’S 9 FRIGGIN POUNDS!
And how much did I spend on this bounty? You might want to sit down.
Are you sitting?
UNDER $50, INCLUDING SHIPPING.
Yes. I will give you a moment. Perhaps you would like a paper bag to breath in? An inhaler? Yes. It will be OK. You still have time to get your own.
Now, this is wool. WOOL wool. Not merino. Not a cashmere blend. It’s WOOL. So it’s a bit scratchy. It will probably soften up a bit in the wash (oh yes, I will be doing swatches), but I think it would work very nicely for a cardigan (I’m thinking the coffee color for that).

Oooh, pretty! And I love the cardigan pattern. Preeeety.
Trillian?
-R
Yes, Trillian. Install it right now!
Can’t believe you left me without entertainment as we move toward a long holiday weekend
Nope. Screw Trillian. Meebo.com no download needed and you can have your yahoo, msn and gmail and AOL all on one screen. And it’s free.
Looks like you’ll be chatting in gmail and on myspace for a while, eh?
Holy crap! Thanks for the link! That’s some great stuff. With a deal like that, I might (someday) get up the gumption to make an actual sweater. Maybe.
Trillian!
(I know, you already installed it. But I really like Trillian. The only reason I’m not on it now is because they don’t have a Mac version.)
well sheesh, since just about everyone else already said trillian, i’ll just go off and buy some flipping yarn. *huff!*
What’re you making on your blog’s banner?
The wool looks very nice, but my eye goes toward something I can eat…
Not sure – the header varies. what picture are you looking at?
mmmm pie
congrats on the wool. =)
Ooh! I know I pimped Trillian, but being at work, I can’t download anything and have been limping along with yahoo’s webmessenger (which I hate) and had long abandoned the craptastic online aimexpress. Go, turtlegirl!
Sorry, I don’t play with chat programs as I think they’re not secure. I don’t open my firewall to just anyone you know.
Congrats on the yarn. Sounds like you got a great deal!
Meebo.com is so much better. And! tricky. I like tricky.
thats a sweet deal! i think…
