Never Easy

Some things never get easier. I used to hate Home-Ec. classes in grade-school. I tried, but was never really good at sewing or even threading the machine at school. One of the presents my Mom got this year was a new Singer sewing machine, and now that it is getting some use, I am kicking myself for not spending the extra twenty to forty dollars on a unit that can self thread, and one that utilizes a drop-in bobbin. Well it's been awhile, and the directions aren't very specific, and the drawings aren't as clear as they could be.

I hate sewing...

Anderson Burning

My Dad's family is from Anderson, Indiana. So, it was kind of weird seeing a ticker-tape style headline on CNN about a Metal recycling plant specializing in Magnesium burning causing harmful by-products to spread into the air, requiring a localized evacuation.

They aren't that good about calling us on the phone. We called, and they seem to be doing fine.

Perspective On Expense

I'm getting my laptop back soon, it only required a O/S tune-up, and a new battery. Then it seemed its preblems were corrected. Such a small thing, but without a regular source of funds, nearly impossible to get.

It shouldn't take long, I'll have to remind my brother to go over and get it for me. My next entry should be from that computer, as should my next website additions.
