Things that make you go "hmmmm" or Say what???!!!! Pt 6

i just saw that - i have no words.....................

oh man

They are going to start teaching sex ed in K in Chicago! I think they should start with the dangers of gangs first. Nuts.

oh good Lord

email caught in my spam folder "from Oprah Winfrey" uh huh, yeah cause she'd be emailing me, do people actually fall for it?

why do some people add an "R" to the word idea when they're saying it?

That was part of my DH's VT-NH accent.....added or subtracted Rs.....

I've been told by two different sewing machine guys that my 20 yr old Bernette (I think it was $300) is a piece o crap and not worth fixing. Before that I had a hundred dollar Singer bought in the 80's , not working right. This is surely too not worth the repair bill, since new common machines with more stitches can be got for $150 dollars on sale.

Meanwhile I hauled out Mom's Singer, and another old black Singer, from the 1950s, and looked on eBay- BOth are being listed and sold in the 250- 500 dollar range. Built to last forever!

I have an extra Bernina record (from the 70's) sewing machine with every attachment made and a folding table that I need to rehome - if you are looking for a machine.

Nice of you to ask, YankeeCat. At the moment, I am going to put one of these Singers to use, and consider rehabbing/ selling the other. The second one was left under the steps when we bought this house. It weighs about 30 pounds.

I read a long article about the current state of sewing machine making industry- it sounds like anything being made NOW that is under several hundreds or thousands $, is a piece of disposable junk. But there seem to be crafters and seamstresses out there who will buy older quality machines.

Wow....my Mom has a Singer from the 30s.......wonder if that's worth anything......

Robin, I easily came up with a website with a "field guide" to figure out the model number of mine. (sorry didn't bookmark..) Or google images, or ebay, if you can remember what it looks like. The Featherweight has a flip up part on the left and is smaller, comes in a black case. The 201-2 is a very heavy table top model.

(back clicked couple dozen times LOL)

the older machines are worth their weight in gold! they are made with metal parts, not many of the newer ones are- which is why they are junk.

Thanks, Sally....I'll have to get the info off my mother's machine.....

Read another VERY scary stat today. Said 47% of all K-12 teachers in this country graduated in the bottom 1/3rd of their college class!! Hope it's not true.

people are scary!

now victor, you know teaching doesn't pay well enough to attract talent, especially in your area (smirk!)

The video gives me a new perspective on how people BS thru a conversation

amazing

I have no idea what my class ranking was, but teaching is different from hanging out at the student union playing bridge all day...oh, did I do that? College was definitely fun....teaching was nose to the grindstone!

If I were the Vatican chimney guy, I would send up grey smoke to freak everyone out.

Was SO happy to see nanny Bloomy get smacked down. I hate soda myself, but he is just so over the top. And as arrogant as he is, he will keep the fight going, wasting money on appeals.
