Apparently we do, because people vote for politicians who only offer "thoughts and prayers" instead of real solutions.

What do you do with the wool from this gang?

This is a "vintage inspired" machine, not even close to vintage!
Description is metal body but doesn't say what the gears are made of. Might be fine. I just sold a Singer Heavy Duty from about 10 years ago; not a bad machine but nothing like sewing on my vintage Singer 201-2, and others.

Does the new baby have a name yet?

Agreed. Speculation: IV furosemide which is given for heart failure. Would explain the "cankles".

Dialysis requires a large catheter with two access ports. It would be concealed under his shirt.

Thank you for this! A wonderful idea! A shift in focus from acquisition of "things" to tending to relationships with other beings would be a good start in calming the storms around us.

HOLD THE LINE!! Please Please do not give in to the republicans and certainly don't trust them to negotiate honestly. A "future vote" on "healthcare" won't materialize.
We are counting on you!!!

I couldn't have said it better. There will be no forgiveness if you cave to the republicans about this.

I have been following your posts and as a fellow Wisconsinite, understand some of your background. I wanted to say I am so glad you returned safely! As we head into winter and you head into summer, I look forward to hearing about and seeing photos of your beautiful farm and animals ❤️

Not going to give NYT any money. nope.

Oh! I forgot to add that the access plate for my 66 is ornate; it came with a single blackside bobbin... I can check the motor number soon and update.

Here's the photo:

I have a Singer 66 Crinkle finish: Model AG669668 from April 8, 1946. 15000 were made. I think this is a 66-14. It is not a 66-16 as it has a spoked wheel. And was clearly originally a treadle.
Took the motor/motor boss and light off; wiring was crumbling. back into a treadle; it works great!

Yep. Born 1955. Parents made sure we got all the vaccines as they came out. I did the same for my kids, so they never got chicken pox, HPV, Hepatitis B, and of course all the other vaccine preventable illnesses.

And cool to get a pinking attachment; I’ve never seen one of those. The reason my 66 wouldn’t turn was the nest of thread around the bobbin case. So satisfying to removes those things!!

lol cellar spiders. I did get one of those cute little kenmore 158.10301 with the rose case once with a *live* spider in the case. Filthy too but now sews nicely.
