ORIGINAL: tsatske crafts cover a multitude of sins I tried that once. Went to the hardware store (a good-sized local place, not a chain store), and walked up to the service desk with an armful of rolls of webbing, and every welded D-ring they had in the bins. I was picking up supplies for someone who makes gear but doesn't have quite as good a selection of webbing in colors as we do in my town. So the guy starts measuring and cutting the lengths of webbing, and he says, "so, what are you making?"... and I said, "uhhhhh, crafts." He looks up from measuring and pauses and says, "crafts?? Ohhhhhhhhh, CRAFTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and smiles that knowing smile and yes I blushed. So another customer walks up behind me, and he's waiting for his turn, and he sees all the webbing, and he says, "whatcha making?" and the dude behind the counter says, with much enthusiasm, "She's making CRAFTS!!!!!" And the other guy looks puzzled and says, "crafts?" and the dude says, again with wayyyy too much enthusiasm, "YES!!!! She's making CRAFTS!!!!!!!!!" Sigh. Then when he was finished cutting and preparing my purchases, he says, "now when you need more supplies for those CRAFTS, make sure you come back and see me!" Cali
