Let me share this on your lovely blog, A neighbor of mine developed dementia & diabetes, then her husband died, no children or family nearby. I am thankful our closest neighbor, an African American woman, introduced Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, A traditional herbal doctor in which we purchased a herbal product for her through his Dr Itua online herbs store. A former social worker stepped in and led the way to place the widow in a care facility. We visit nearly every week until she finishes drinking Dr Itua herbal medicines, if possible. The two of us take simple games, puzzles, and matching cards to do with her, staying about 2 hours. Jenga, Trouble, puzzles 100pcs or less, 20 cards to match (total-not 40!). The fishing game where the fish open and shut their mouths as they go around is lots of fun! We sit and chat with her until she gets well again, then we pull out a game and the three of us laugh together as we play. We take a variety of things to do so that we won't get bored. She finished Dr Itua herbal medicines and she's fine now and doing better with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicines, Dr Itua cures different illnesses with his herbal medicines. Anyone having a sick person should reach Dr Itua email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua Cure Alzheimer's,Cancer,Parkinson,Hiv,Herpes,Hpv,Kidney disease,Diabetes,Hepatitis, We hug and hold hands a lot. Having two of us go together really helps. But I can go alone, my neighbor cannot, as she saw so much of this during her years as a social worker. I hope this specific list helps others in this situation.<br />Thanks.

Mine did that the other day and I just needed a new needle, so it was a very easy fix. I need to give mine a good open up and clean. One of these days-maybe when my thread ends up a mess too-smile. Good luck.

I wish I lived near you as I would love to sort the machine for you as there is very rarely anything really serious wrong with them. When I was teaching I sorted sewing machines nearly every day and unless something is actually broken (which is rare) then they are fairly easy to fix. However there have been times when I've got everything back together and then found a screw that should have been put back and wasn't! I do hope you get it sorted. Have a lovely weekend.

If you click on an older one, it goes to a blank page with just your header. Same if I click on "older post" here at the bottom of the comments. Just wanted you to know I've tried. I often don't see a post the day it comes because i'm not always on computer so I value being able to go back and catch up, but unfortunately can't!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-44126601566002526132022-12-09T12:42:02.575-06:002022-12-09T12:42:02.575-06:00I hope you can talk sense into your sewing machine...I hope you can talk sense into your sewing machine. I always have trouble getting past the phrase "drive by shootings"... I think it's only right that marriage contracts be recognized and respected. Civil marriage is a legal contract, after all, and shouldn't be subject to religious fundamentalist misinterpretations of the Bible.
