      I really wish I could find the referenced pg 140. although looks like enough to start construction. My parents had this while I was growing up.... I guess that's why I still have the nasty habit. I just really, really loved playing with that bird. Dam that bird, now I see he was just plain evil.

      Yes it is a nasty habit and you should quit...but nicotine does help with LD so maybe you can use the patch and kill two birds with one stone.

      It may make a great gift for someone in China, where smoking trend seems to be on an up rise, especially among most males as per recent study statistics. I currently do not know anyone from there though.
      Maybe I should revise the craft altogether…make it suit something for today, since it was issued in like 1938. Mmmmm...... wonder what the tar levels for Cigs. were back then. <-yellow teeth (yummy)
      I could look at re-designing this and post an enhanced design…any ideas for improvement?
      I think it should supply something other than cigarettes. The bird needs some revision work too.

      To make it look like this: James Lileks stuff

      type it like this (only without the spaces - I had to put in the spaces so it wouldn&#39;t hyperlink it):
      [ url= www .lileks.com ] James Lileks stuff [ /url ]

      another &#39;vintage&#39; craft that&#39;s coming back in. Knitting&#33; *drool*

      I&#39;m always knitting, even if it&#39;s only a scarf...
      It&#39;s very therapeautic and relaxing, although when you are learning it can be a pain in the butt.

      That&#39;s something I would like to do (someday...). It seems so cool to take yarn and make a sweater or whatever. They have good yarn now it seems like; pretty colors and that furry kind that people make scarves out of. I would also like to be able to sew.

      Or just add http://, e.g.: http://www.google.com. No [url] tags here, but it still works
