Last week I asked you about your favorite travel knitting… 

PAKnitWit:  I generally like simple, relatively mindless projects for travel knitting -- basically nothing that requires a chart. Socks are great, as are simple shawls or even stockinette sweaters. I can usually manage a large project more easily in the car; for the plane, I tend to stick with small things like socks or hats. 

Dianne Scitcher :
For both car and plane knitting, I like projects that are small, light, and easy. I’d rather not have to look at a lot of instructions or a chart. Socks are ok, but I use DPNs, and sometimes they get dropped, which is especially awkward on a plane. I prefer fingering weight projects, because they’re not heavy or bulky. 
Something like a sockhead hat is perfect if I want to have something in my hands, but have my full attention on the scenery and the company. 

Knitnaround Pat from WI:
I do my charity knitting on road trips. I knit baby hats, sweaters, bibs and blankets for local hospitals. They are usually pretty simple patterns and I use washable yarns, nothing too fancy. I don’t fly much, but when I do, I usually just read as I find it too confining in those seats to knit. 

Nature Notes 
 I adore listening to the birds, even when they awaken me at 5 AM. The house wrens are singing most of the day. We hear the melodious song of the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks that come to our feeders. Tufted Titmouse with their clear whistle…Peter, Peter, Peter! Our Phoebe pair has returned again and is building their nest in the same place under the eave. Of course, the Cardinals are singing and claiming their territories and are out to impress the ladies. We are trying to attract Orioles again. We have seen fleeting glimpses of them in previous years. We bought a new feeder that holds two orange halves and has a small container for grape jelly, favorite foods for these birds with a sweet tooth. Other animals will get into these tasty snacks as well so we take the feeder in at night and hang it out in the morning.

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
