i've converted another. i was at my local library and there is a woman that has worked there for all the years that i've been going there, she's always been nice and helpful to me. she looked different somehow to me that day and in speaking with her she told me that her husband passed away recently after a terribly long illness, she was feeling sadness and relief at the same time. I expressed my sympathy to her and we walked together to her office. When we got there she had a large sign on the front of her desk that said, I NEED YARN ! weirdorama. so the next week i went to the library and i brought her one of my extra copies of empty pockets together with some choc chip cookies. she's totally hooked and wants more, more, more and she's keeping her sign up, even if she does get enough YARN donations !
so is this 'off topic' or 'on topic', i couldn't decide ;)
