If a thread fell in the forest and nobody heard would it still make a sound?

Was the thread in a needle at the time it fell ?

Buttonhole thread? Embroidery thread? Quilting thread? Silk or cotton?

Please be more specific!

Are you ladies in my house? Angie is eating breakfast and mentioning how nice the sewing machines on sale are and that hers is 23 years old 'cause that is how old my step-d will be on Saturday....

strange....

Rule 5 - Never, NEVER, NEVER assume that you know a woman well enough to give an appliance as a gift. Just don't. It doesn't sail. You may reach an intense level of intimacy - including that which results in children - buy you can never reach the level that welcomes an appliance as a gift.
. . .





[I'm not saying. I'm just saying.]

For once I agree with Bill. Appliances are not gifts ! They are needed to run our households but never, never, never , never should be given as a gift. Any appliance given as a gift could result in a long ,cold spell.

One Christmas, my ex gave me a set of nutcrackers. I felt like using them on him!
If you do give her a sewing machine, give something nicer along with it.

Gary, just get her the sewing machine but don't call it a gift. Now, a diamond bracelet would be a gift and suitably rewarded.

:) Seriously, if I got her one she would be more :mad: that I wasted $$ on something she wouldn't use too much. She does use it and is on a kick now of making little credit card holders, kids book bags and other stuff for fun...AND...she did mention that when that GRANDbaby is born she may be interested in a new one...IF....she was still on her sewing kick...she knits, she sews, she restores furniture, she makes wine glass markers and other things....

ANYTHING she can to keep herself busy from me ;)

When I need some background "noise' for my afternoon nap, I always put on the Threadkiller.....

snooooze......

"Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' "

Ahh...6th grade...."I spin the bottle then I WHAT?!"

That you Lenore?

"Nameless here forevermore."

Hey, Bill! We sure could bore people quickly at parties. Look how well we do in here! :cheers:

We could charge for our services,We could charge extra if they were to leave and never return since that takes extra effort.

If there is going to be a test I better study......

I wanna be the person in charge of collecting the money

Just don't invite your boring guests to the Hotel California.

They can checkout any time they like,
But they can never leave!

Mutters - Talkin' about boring posts like there's a rule for interesting...

Or the Bates Motel where " You can check in but never check out "

Oooh Bargoo - I like your avatar!

Rule 6 - (aka WebRover's Rule) All posts must be interesting as adjudicated by The Committee at its regular meeting. All rulings are final; there is no appeal. You may checkout of this thread at any time, but you may never leave (Hotel California amendment). Membership on The Committee is by popular vote at regular elections. All are to obey its dictates.

The Hotel California amendment has been superceded by The Bates Motel Amendment.

Should I be afraid to shower?

Yes - Don't Shower, Don't tell is the Bates Motel Amendment, which is, apparently, the current amendment.


But then again, if you have friends, be afraid not to shower also.

Perhaps it is the friends who should be afraid if she doesn't shower.

...

Alright, who passed out the silly? That was for after New Years! :(

Rain, rain, rain.....

I remember that scream in the theater; totally unexpected. If I wasn't pretty young at the time, I'd have had a heart attack.
