Update on Trial
Comments (9)I spoke to Stephen last night. He is thrilled that the criminal trail is over but says its bitter sweet as there were no winners. He and Charles will forever face challenges as a result of the accident but in addition now there is a family who will be without there son in their lives for 2 years and his life will never be the same either, this conviction will follow him thru life. I was at 2 other hearing and I was really profoundly touched by the DDs mother. It really broke my heart to see the pain in her eyes. Yep no winners at all. It may take several more months for the civil trial to begin. PEACE! Susie...See MoreTrunk room--what happened, what to do?
Comments (37)You were refueling. Gardenweb is one of my favorite places to refuel before I plunge into whatever I'm trying to accomplish. Unfortunately, the more I read about here, the longer the list grows :-). Update on the room: I got the plaster bonding agent. I ended up getting Silpro Weld-o-bond because it was available locally, and it is labeled for bonding old plaster to gypsum materials. If you are in the greater Boston area this may be easier to find than Link or Plasterweld. I tried spraying it but I wimped out on the mess. Plus it was beading and dripping off the plaster, not soaking in. I ended up brushing it into the cracks with a small (1 1/4") Purdy brush. I had to make multiple passes as the first pass would apply, second would break surface tension, and subsequent ones would provide more liquid to absorb. I also thinned it nearly 50/50 with water per label instructions. It is fantastic! No more crispy crumblies! I can run my finger down a crack, and it does not rain sand down on me. I wish I'd known about this before; it is great stuff. At $12/gallon, it's a cheap lifetime supply. Today I am moving some cabinets around in my kitchen so that the refrigerator can open fully (it has been flush to a side wall since we moved in 2 years ago). Wish I'd thought of this before. Of course, the cabinets are 50 years old and nailed in 50 different ways, so it's a bear to get them out. I'll be using screws to put them back :-). Hopefully I will finish that today and then it's back to the trunk room....See MoreLindsay Lohan
Comments (30)THANK YOU Gazania. The ignorance of mental illness abounds. I get so sick of the rehab mantra everyone chants. Rehab will not work unless the underlying cause is addressed first. That underlying cause is generally mental illness. The drugs, the drinking are self medication. The other horrible behaviors are manic and compulsive. Until we treat mental illness the same way we treat cancer the vicious cycle will continue. I know a lot of so called recovered alcoholics and drug users who are still mentally ill and still exhibiting irrational behaviors. Ever hear of a dry drunk? I'm sick of the courts sending these people to rehab over and over when what they do need is a good medical and psychological work-up followed by proper treatment. But rehab is a money maker plus it makes society "feel" better. People prefer the bandaid approach rather than talk about the huge elephant in the room. Maybe even their own room....See MoreUpper Thread will not pick up Bobbin Thread.
Comments (44)I've had this problem as well...didn't even realize that the bobbin thread not rising up was the cause. After a bit of focused experimenting a few minutes ago I realized there is no inherent tension in the bobbin thread area (despite the design of the machine!). So with the bobbin cover removed and the presser foot UP if I set the bobbin as normal and held the end of the thread off to the side AND applied a bit of tension to it I could get the needle to pick it up perfectly. Tested it and sewing was normal! Maybe the needle needing to be changed contributes to jams but I have run that scenario of changing it and everything else in complete frustration over this problem until I saw what was really happening...which tends to occur out of the blue...knowing I can manually get the machine to pick up the thread allows me to continue using a needle that is still serviceable. Tip: I read that some people remove the presser foot to get access to the threads but I use a small plastic tool that is shaped like a crochet hook to grab the thread back after getting it- safer and time saving for when this happens. Hope it helps others to know....See More- last month
