How nice to read your thoughts, Nilly! FYI, the different colors on the scripts represent each time I made a revision. We insert a different color page for each new set of revisions to keep track.

I don't think anyone really cares as long as it works.
Each time I finish the finale, I can't stop obsessing about what's next for Rebecca. And how would the Rebecca/Paul angst finally play out?
I find that I'm rewatching the Inside more than Wonderfalls and Firefly combined. Every single piece clicked for me. It's extremely rare that I get along so well with television, especially a FOX show.
Thanks Tim.

so I did none of those crafts projects I mentioned earlier. I did however start frogging an old sweater, only to find out that I think it was machine knitted and yarn was twisted throughout to eliminate fraying. It is not so much an unraveling job as an unweaving maze.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oooh. msbelle, my mom wants a new sewing machine for mother's day, and my dad, brother, and SIL said they'd pitch in with me to buy one.
Her old machine was a relic passed down from her mom, and it finally kicked the bucket.
Any suggestions?

Allyson I do not know anything about new machines. Mine are both old. I can ask my mom though.

The new Singers at Target look like toys. My mom's old machine weighed about the same as a Jetta.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Folks on the sewing lists I'm on generally recommend good old machines over the new stuff. Singer Featherweights and others are tanks that will keep going for a really long time. No cheap plastic parts to break, no computerized stuff that can only be repaired certain places. Mine is a Sears Kenmore from 1965 or 66. Very basic, but indestructable.
What does your mom want out of a new machine? That's the place to start.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Allyson, when I was looking to buy my sewing machine, a friend of mine - rocket scientist for the Navy, whose real calling in life is sewing and designing clothes - said that Brother manufactures the mechanisms for many of the top-dollar brands, and when the mechanisms go through quality control testing, the best ones get put in machines with the Brother name. So there is a thought, if you go with a new machine.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Bernina is popular in costume shops and with quilters. I have a really old Singer and a newish Singer. I always pull out the old one when I need to sew something.
