  • 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.

  • 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.

    Angie has menopause....how much colder can the spell get?

    What in the world could be nicer than a sewing machine? We already have a nice toaster.

    Seriously, if I got her one she would be more 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......

  • That you Lenore?
    "For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore"

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