Pipeliner Note on Rowing Out
Hi Paula,
Thanks for adding me to your friend list.
I have enjoyed watching your Piper Extras and also listening to your audios. However,,,watching the episode where you talked about rowing out was an eye opener…I have knitted for as long as I can remember and never knew I was doing that. How does one knit and not see???
I happened to be working on the back of a sweater for my seven month old granddaughter while watching and thinking,”I don’t row out” and then really saw the back that I was knitting and thought: I do row out!!!
For me to fix it was a matter of where the yarn was on the needle for the knit stitch and the purl stitch. I noticed I knit on the needles and purl on the tip. I am aware of this now and am trying to get in the habit which means I have to think more about what I’m doing while knitting and purling.
Happy New Year!
Sandra

Nature Notes
Here in Central Illinois we are coming out of a very cold spell. We had about ½ “of snow and it was so cold that the snow didn’t melt until last night. Our creek had a lot of ice on it though still running—it doesn’t freeze over. When the temperature is so low—in the negative’s F—the birds have their tricks of staying warm. One technique is puffing out their feathers. One morning a tufted titmouse sat on a branch outside my office window with his feather’s sticking out all over so he looked like a gray and white pompom. So when you put on your fluffiest, puffiest coat in very cold weather, you are mimicking the birds. Some birds also group together more during the winter months so they can huddle together for warmth at night. We see flocks of cardinals in the late afternoon which is always a treat. On Sunday I counted roughly 30 juncos bopping and hopping along the ground under the feeders, picking up the fallen seed. The suet was so cold that the birds seemed to have a hard time while pecking away at it. I’m sure it was frozen solid.

We took down our Christmas tree this past weekend, on January 6th. We didn’t put it up until December 23 so it was still fairly fresh. Bob plsaced it outside, leaning up against our honey locust, and topped it with an evergreen wreath. This provides some shelter for birds during these cold days. We’re going to hang some suet and fruit on it. Our woods in central Illnois do not have native pines so this is Christmas tree is like an oasis for the birds and gives us one more reason to bring a live tree into our house with all the mess it brings along with it. Today is very windy and rainy, not nearly as cold. When we went to bed last night the wind was howling and it was good to know we didn’t have snow coming along with it.
Nature has many scenes to exhibit, and constantly draws a curtain over this part or that. She is constantly repainting the landscape and all surfaces, dressing up some scene for our entertainment. Lately we had a leafy wilderness; now bare twigs begin to prevail, and soon she will surprise us with a mantle of snow. Some green she thinks so good for our eyes that, like blue, she never banishes it entirely from our eyes, but has created evergreens. ~Henry David Thoreau, Nov. 8, 1858

I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
