I learn how to set grommets

I practice grommet setting

I practice grommet setting

I learned a lot about grommet insertion this weekend. Despite practice, I couldn’t do them correctly. I read online and followed the instructions. I bought and tried several grommet setting tools and read reviews of who’d had problems with which ones. I spent an afternoon trying to find a benchtop hand press, which I thought was the answer.  I learned new terminology and Googled eyelet vs. grommet, driver, anvil, grommet inserter, hand press, bench press  I learned about the sizes and that I needed size 000 also known as 5/32″ aka 3.9mm, and size 00 aka 3/16″ aka 4.7mm. I watched YouTube videos and did what they did. I thought. Then I watched more closely. I had the right tools but I’d not been holding the driver, the pounder piece, correctly, and I was being too heavy handed with the hammer.  I went to the workbench and tried again. I tried with several size grommets using my different tools. Success!! Why grommets? Airholes in the hats — a must in Florida — and also for those lace up corsets Benny likes to wear.

Tie Up Loose Ends

Two clients are miffed to see pics of their husbands on the new girlfriends’ Instagram announcing upcoming weddings. Both wouldn’t mind a divorce so they could get the marital debt assigned but it’s good to tie up loose ends before tying another knot. Every area of your life is related, all of it. When you don’t tie up loose ends, you’re leaving a tangled mess to wade through before everyone can get to their Happy Now.

What “Just Joking ” Really Means

jason steed twitterHere’s why Trump’s 2nd Amendment ‘joke’ has an impact, whether he meant it or not. An excellent Twitter thread  – @5thCircAppeals  And while plenty of people were appalled that the Republican presidential candidate would “joke” about political violence, none explained why Trump’s comment was dangerous quite like lawyer and former English professor Jason Steed.

“I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here’s the thing about “just joking.” You’re never “just joking.” Nobody is ever “just joking.” Humor is a social act that performs a social function (always). To say humor is social act is to say it is always in social context; we don’t joke alone. Humor is a way we relate/interact with others.Which is to say, humor is a way we construct identity – who we are in relation to others.    Continue reading

Kiki Smith: “Just do your work. And if the world needs your work it will come and get you. And if it doesn’t, do your work anyway. You can have fantasies about having control over the world, but I know I can barely control my kitchen sink. That is the grace I’m given. Because when one can control things, one is limited to one’s own vision.
