Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Beej, I would call a sewing machine shop and see if they can help you track something down. They may have resources that we don't.
Thanks vw. I think that is the way I will have to go. I found a plastic case at allbrands but I want to see one in the flesh before I commit to anything.
And I'm with ya Sparky. This featherweight will be my end of days sewing machine. I've given up two others in this lifetime. The current one is a keeper.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I like to know, too. I was thrilled to get my surgery report. It even had pictures of my insides! Out on a table! Cool!

Cindy, is gmail not delivering your e-mail? Because I'm expecting some e-mails that I don't have. Humph.
I just got a very nice comment from my adviser. I asked him why I'm always finding myself on the edge of what's actually allowed in a project. He said it's because I actually want to learn.
Awwww....I want to learn! Who knew? He said some other nice stuff, but that one warmed my heart.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think that's the bestest possible answer to that question....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
That is a great answer to your question, vw.

And, yay for NICE professors! (glares in the direction of mine)

Very cool. I do realize that pictures aren't for everyone, but grilling the doctor about what is going on is second nature to me. I'm the suspicious type.
Yay for good profs, vw! Not only do you want to learn, it sounds like the prof is thrilled to teach someone who wants to learn.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I both grill the doctor and do massive amounts of research. I have to *know.* The idea that people wouldn't tell me what was going on is kind of appalling to me.

Because books.
Skipped a bit to send all kinds of ~ma to P-C's grandfather.
Also, don't the doctors have an ethical obligation to tell him his diagnosis so he can make his own decisions about care?
When my great-grandmother developed leukemia, she was never told what she had. She was born and raised in rural West Virginia, and her kids believed the word "cancer" would kill her quicker than the actual disease. They told she simply had a problem with nosebleeds, and she was perfectly happy and unworried until she died. Unethical maybe, but knowing Gram, probably better for her in the end.
