Not for me. I don't like re-watching of old films, but I do re-read old favourite books. For me, it's a mental equivalent of comfort food. I know what will happen, so I expect to experience the same (or at least similar) emotions, which had been pleasant and left pleasant memories. At the same time, I may notice something interesting/entertaining I missed on the first go around, so that's enough to keep me going. Retelling old miseries over and over... The reason is directly opposite. I don't want to bring the old feelings back; by retelling the bad stories I exorcise them, bit by bit. Eventually, they lose their power and I can then forget them and move on. So I always appreciate people who let me vent (whether they listen or not g). But I also try not to do it too often and try not to tell the same story to the same person more than once. Would hate to loose my venting outlets by trying their patience too much :) -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace-chat] Question on familiarity
I re-read/re-watch books/movies because I enjoy them. Like Tamara, I know what to expect and can play along with the story. There is also frequently something new to discover no matter how many times I redo these. There is also some character in the things I redo that I can identify with or that reminds me of a loved one. I do NOT, however, want to relive trauma. I never understood the mentality that luxuriates in this kind of thing. I've lived through some terrible things and would just as soon never think about them again, thank you. Just like there are many different genres of books and movies, there are many different types of people to enjoy each.

My sister says that softer dough makes better bread, but she had been kneading in as much flour as humanly possible. I find that kettle-baked bread needs stiffer dough than oven-baked bread, presumably because it's steamed a bit. Not to mention that the kettle-baked dough has to support itself, while the oven-baked dough goes into a loaf pan. Kettle baking is over for the season. I'd put a pot of bean soup on, if I could find ham hocks or smoked pork necks. (Good reason to make the expedition to Marsh.) I spray my oven-baked bread with a fine mist of water before baking, and it seems to improve it -- as does baking something else in the same oven at the same time. I was in some gimcrack store Saturday and saw an oil-spray bottle exactly like mine, with a different brand name printed on it. My bottle was totally useless for oil, because the oil oxidized in uncleanable channels and it quickly began to spit drops instead of spraying mist, but after running a little detergent through it to get out the oil, it sprayed water just fine, and I've been using my cheap oil-spray bottle as a laundry sprinkler, plant mister, and bread fogger for several years with no sign of failure. But it's nice to know that I can replace it if necessary. Would be nicer if I could remember what sort of gimcrack shop I was in, but it's likely to be in a different gimcrack shop by the time my current bottle gives up. -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange http://www.timeswrsw.com/craig/cam/ (local weather) west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where the roads are slick and church was canceled.
