Quality announcing can make a good match "great" and a great match "epic". Sadly, these days, I don't see too much of that from the WWE product. Mostly it has to do to the absence of Jim Ross, due to health issues. I hope that he'll be a part of Wrestlemania this year. Still, we all knew this day was coming, one day, there would be no more JR as an announcer, at least full time. Yet, WWE has no one to fill his shoes. Yeah, Michael Cole, whose improvement has been minimal over the past fifteen years or however long he has been announcing. And who I am not entirely convinced is not a robot. Todd Grisham has improved ever so slightly, going from horrible to passable, but nothing special. Josh Mathews is fine, but he's just not someone I see being credible enough to move up to the big time. Good for the lesser shows like NXT, and back in the day Velocity and ECW, but not good enough for a RAW or Smackdown. Then on the color commentary side is Jerry Lawler. Who is still fairly good but not as great as he was back in the mid 90s. Then Matt Striker...well let's just say this.... | |

| | Tatting? The Art of Lace Making? Is it A Lost art? | | I started tatting a little bit last year and I love it. It's so easy to do and there's so many different things that you can make with it. Although I'm not very good at it.
Basically it's using crochet thread and a tatting needle or a shuffle. And you can make a lot of different crafts with it. The first thing I make was a butterfly. I really want to get into Celtic Knots but I just haven't mastered it enough to do that.
Have you heard of this art? And do you practice it?Here's some links for tatting that I have found useful:www.handyhandstatting.comwww.geocities.com/tatrasutra/howtotat.html | |
| | Lost Art: Does anyone know how to tat? | | I think tatting is becoming a lost art, or may already be so. Yes you can still buy tatting shuttles in craft stores, but who knows how to do it anymore? I have always wanted to try to make some of the pretty laces that can be made with tatting. Another plus is the small size so that it can be carried with you almost anywhere so you can work on it while stuck waiting in places where waiting would upset you without something to do. I used to have a bone tatting shuttle of my grandmother's. I still have a bone crochet hook, but the tatting shuttle is gone, I think. I have never been able to find anyone who knows how to tat who could teach me. I don't follow written instructions very well. I need the 3D hands on kind of instruction where I can watch and repeat.
Do you tat, or know anyone who does? What kinds of items can be made and used today by tatting? | |
| | Do you believe letter writing is a lost art? | | Remember when writing and receiving letters was a fond way of communicating, and a sentimental way of preserving memories? If you don't remember this, I'm sure you've heard others speak of the topic. Letter writing, to me, is a way of staying connected to the "writer" in me and, in some ways, the "artist" as well. What do you think? When was the last time you've sat down to write a letter? When is the last time you've received a letter? | |
| | Crochet: A Lost Art | | I have been told that crochet is a lost art as I sell handmade crochet blankets on E-Bay and several other websites and the blankets that I sold to other people some of their respones were that crocheting is an lost art. Sometimes the people of today are either too busy to crochet or don't know how but someone in their family was a crocheter I have been crochets since I was 16yrs and finally learned how to make money doing it. I have sent my blankets to far away places as France, London, Japan, etc have a good day | |
| | The Lost Art of Shopping... | | I used to love going shopping. Just browsing the aisles, looking at things and seeing what’s new. I could spend hours in stores just looking. When I lived in Texas, I used to love going to the malls…I’d lose all sense of time in there.Things have changed now. Now I just want to get in and get out as quickly as possible. I make a list, get what’s on it and unless something just jumps right out at me I don’t get anything that isn’t on my list. I’ve gotten so bad that when it comes to birthdays and Christmas, I just hurry through or try to decide what to get before I go shopping. Since I don’t drive and I have an irrational fear of being abandoned at the store, when someone is waiting on me I zip through the store like I’m jet propelled…not easy for a fluffy woman LOLThe only time I really take my time shopping is when my Mom and I go and we do more talking then shopping…in fact theres a lot of times that I have to backtrack to grab things we walked right by b/c we were so busy talking. In fact, going with her is about the only time I like going.Do you rush through the stores or take your time? Do you enjoy shopping time or just want to get it over with? Do you take time... | |

| | The Lost Art; A Compasionate Society | | As I was walking down to my favourite cafe for lunch the other day I noticed a middle aged gentleman lying wth his face against the stone grey concrete, his drool slowly ran downn his chin, collecting in the grungy seams of the sidewalk. His hair, which was matted, greying and filthy clung to his sunken cheeks while the grime caked fingernails clung to a piece of paper that has been torn and creased countless times.The man grunted as I continued to walk past him, oblivious to the world of parents pushing prams, rushed commuters, playful children and wide eyes tourists that bustled around him, and they too remained comepltly ignorant of the unfortunate soul that occupied the ground at their feet. The image of this broken man haunted me as I sat with my latte and salad sandwich. I dropped my napkin onto my plate, barely disguising the fact that I had hardly touched my meal, I walked over to an ATM to withdraw some money. A girl, no older than 15 sat at the base of the cash machine and looked at me with her sad blue/green eyes. Her greying yellow skin had sunken against her bones stretching her features and obscuring the beauty that had once graced her face. Her frail... | |
