For a minute I thought the boy's shirt said "Nice Hat" and I was rolling.
I can't wait till I have kids so I can watch them do things like this to take pictures of and give my friends a good laugh

They did it all by themselves...they came down to my room last night and said they had something to show me, and then opened the door and stood there looking at me. I about wet my pants laughing!!!
Tinfoil hat technology is soooooo 1998. It's crude but effective, though. So when marks started wearing them at the poker tables a few years back it really put a damper on my earn. Fortunately, I got a black market beta of the following product:
A new Israeli invention called “Voice Analysis Eyeglasses” has created a new brand of lie detectors that make the need for wires and electrodes absolute. In fact, the new lie detector developed in Israel is so inconspicuous that one may not even know they are being monitored. The glasses provide lie detection analysis on the inside of their lenses about whoever is speaking at the time, claims Nemesysco, the Israeli company which developed the new technology. Mathematician Amir Lieberman at Nemesysco’s headquarters in the town of Zuran, developed the glasses for military, insurance claim, and law enforcement use. The technology...

Even better: The "I Want A Peanut" detector:
A computer program which can read silently spoken words by analysing nerve signals in our mouths and throats, has been developed by NASA.Preliminary results show that using button-sized sensors, which attach under the chin and on the side of the Adam's apple, it is possible to pick up and recognise nerve signals and patterns from the tongue and vocal cords that correspond to specific words."Biological signals arise when reading or speaking to oneself with or without actual lip or facial movement," says Chuck Jorgensen, a neuroengineer at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, in charge of the research. Just the slightest movements in the voice box and tongue is all it needs to work, he says. Link
Hope this helps,

....I am cracking up....this is SO something my girls would do. I'll have to share this pic with them, see if it leads to anything. Today they warmed and bent crayons into letter shapes to make plaques for me and Barry that say MOM and DAD.
| You have weird kids. |
Yes I do, and I'm very proud of them!
| Keep up the good work |
With me for their mom...well, the poor little buggers don't stand a chance of 'normality'!
| You have weird kids. Keep up the good work. |
And this surprises you WHY exactly? ....Karen, you know I love you, right? And weird can be a GOOD thing...at least that's what I keep telling my kids when they tell me that I am weird!!
| Karen, you know I love you, right? |
Yes, and the feeling is entirely mutual....and weird is great as far as they're concerned. They have been raised in a...ahem...non traditional household. They're actually kind of proud of our familial 'strangeness'.
And wearing tin foil on your head is weird how? Except for tuesdays....tuesday is canteloupe day.......cool pic, cute kids.
Dharma,
Your kids are just as silly and funny as mine!
good thing I went to the bathroom before I saw that, got no depends left. ;()

Why, thank you! Good to see you here....!
Their brother, who chose not to partake in the tinfoil hattery, has asked me to post this picture of him to show that he's "weird" too:

How many and how old? Got any stories?!
15 and 11,
They went whale watching out of bar harbor Maine when my sister went to visit last month.
Rough, rough water but they saw alot of whales up close and personal.
Eldest spent his time chatting up tourist girls, but the quote of the day is:
11 YO: "It was worth 2 upchucks to look that whale right in the eye! I had a great time!"
I am impressed with their adaptability, they live 2100 miles away but never doubt how much thay are loved.

Okay, it's official...they are all three weird...and wonderful!

That obviously has a lot to do with YOU and how you show them they are loved....my older two, 18 and 14, live only 250 miles from their father, yet haven't seen him in 10 months or heard from him in two and a half. So I applaud you for making sure that your children feel the love.
| That obviously has a lot to do with YOU and how you show them they are loved |
I'll second that notion.
No matter what happens, my kids know that their Dad and I love them...it sounds like yours are the same way.
i almost missed this, too. dharma, how are you going on changing world time ? 
i love this. dharma, you should find out how to knit one. your fortune is made !!!

Actually, I have a pattern for what I call 'Umbilical Cord' hats for infants and preemies that has the little 'stalk' on the top of it....it wouldn't take much adaptation to make bigger, and I can get metallic silver yarn....wow, I may be able to corner the market for those! Just imagine...no more wearing scratchy tin foil hats, Dharma's knitted silver hats work just was well and they're softer and more durable too!
That is awesome, it reminds me of a million photos my mom has of me that she pulls out to embarass me.
Awww....cute kids Dharma! They remind me of what I still am today. The tinfoil hats are so totally awesome!! 
And yes I can see where they get their weirdness from! But who says it's a bad thing?

you truly are a woman with everything, karen !. i take my hat off to you (pardon the pun). i think your hat business has potential (i'm not being silly, either, you have real talent).

It's not a bad thing, really...I always said that I wanted to raise independent, free thinking kids who weren't afraid to be 'different'...and that's exactly what they're turning out to be.
Miggy: I've been thinking for a while about starting to sell these hats but I just never had an outlet for them. Now that we're moving to a more metropolitan and boemian area I might be able to find a market for them..and if I can't, then there's always eBay!

i say go for it, dharma!. i think it would be difficult to see your workmanship on ebay, though. moving to a bohemian area sounds like just the thing. i'm seeing more and more hand knitting in australia, it's a great old tradition made new again. i wish i'd stuck by learning to knit !.

You're absolutely right, which is why I haven't listed any of my items on there before now. I think I'm going give knitted items as gifts for Christmas this year - hopefully word of mouth will get me some orders.
I think I'm going to limit myself to hats, mittens, scarves and bags. Sweaters take too damn long and are a pain in the ass.
