Profile Information
- I am an awesome:
- Have 4 children; 2 girls, 2 boys; Retired from the Navy after 20 years. Enjoy being a full time housewife/mom. My real passion is quilting. Love piecing and trying all sorts of patterns but especially love miniatures. My oldest daughter is a nurse and married to a preacher. She has a 2 yr. old boy, cute as a button and so smart. Found out last month she is expecting in March of 2010. My second oldest daughter is an army officer stationed in Stuttgart, Ge. and my oldest son has been in the Marine Corp for a year now.
- My sewing interests are:
- garment, quilting, cross stitch, embroidery
- My sewing machine(s):
- 4 Singers, all usable and a long arm. My favorite machine is the first one I ever bought when I left home. It's over 30 years old and I semi-retired it due to some older parts making a lot of strange noises. My Fashion Mate is in the shop for gear replacement and am now using another Singer I picked up at a thrift shop for $20.00, took home, cleaned and oiled it and it works like a champ! Who needs a Bernina?
- I am interested in patterns such as:

Did you ask the bank about a signature loan? I know they have higher interest but you don't need a down payment for one. Such a shame.
We have a little Honda 5 speed sitting in our driveway that needs new struts but hasn't been driven in a year. Was my older sons car, (he cracked it up twice), then joined the Marines and bought himself an SUV. We sunk so much money into fixing it that we'll never see daylight on that investment but gee, if you were close enough and could drive a stick, we'd make you a deal! Unfortunately, we're in Pensacola, Fl. or east LA (east of Louisiana). Don't know where you're located.
I have been with this bank for 10 years and never borrowed a dime.You would think they would have worked with me but nooooo, I was sent out the door without so much as an " I'm sorry". Just one day in my life I wish I was rich!
Now I am forced to take a cab whenever I go out, that's going to take what little cash I have saved. And OMG, waiting for a cab to come back and pick me up...what a nightmare! I'm up at 3am this morning writing this because I am so depressed I can't sleep.
I see no other way but to sell everything I can to save up the money for a car of some kind.
Thanks for your concern, it's nice to talk to someone, my own kids won't do a thing for me.They all live in another state except my dad and he's 89 yrs old and so stingy he squeaks when he walks! My mom passed away 2 yrs ago, she was the only one who would help me. I hope you never have to go through this with your kids. But sadly, kids are not like they used to be back in the day.Now it's a "dog eat dog world" and it's every man for himself.
Right now I feel like something that was dumped in the trash to rot away.
Sorry I better go, I don't mean to burden you with my problems. Thanks for being a friend, and I wish you all the best. Cherish what you have because it could be taken away in the blink of an eye.
PEACE

Anyhoo - it's too bad you didn't get that pic of your too cute bag! Have fun working on all those Christmas bags. I'm working on my fabric letters too. So far I've made it to "e". guess I'd better get moving!
t go anywhere and no one to take me anywhere.That's what happens when you get old, seems no one cares about you, even family turns up their noses!
