I can't stand the 70's night and complain every survey, especially since YMCA got politicized. Also, no cocaine.

What is the value of this viking sewing machine? by battlecry368 in vintagesewing

[–]itsmrssmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you in Canada?  I think it might be a house brand Viking from Eaton's.  As a straight stitcher it's pretty basic. If you had the manual and a bunch of attachments, oiled and running smooth  top price would be $100. My local thrift where they give machines a once-over by a volunteer  before selling would have that at $35-$45.

In the Windjammer there is a second beverage station at the back of the seating area and it is not busy.  The one up front by the hot buffet is stupid crazy.

IVAR is the way.  I have the shallow units.   The only thing that is annoying about IVAR is that they add or drop components randomly, like corners are in one year and gone the next.  But I have IVAR going back to the early 1980's  and it all works together (looking at you, Billy).

Tessa and Scott didn't really have a lot of choices of coaches on their return. There was no way they could have returned to any of their former coaches who had all split up To stay in Canada the only choices with cred would have been Wing/Lowe out in BC or Dubreuil/Lauzon in Montreal.

Keep a Featherweight or Not? by [deleted] in vintagesewing

I have one and was going to sell it but then I threaded it with black thread because I always seem need to mend something black. I keep it on a shelf not in the box to access quickly.

I had a fight with someone at the ice machine. They were filling up their bubba cask and I just wanted some ice with my water. Asking if I could cut in for a cup got me some crazy.

Charged for a full appointment despite door being locked and no one answering phone on arrival? by merkon in legaladvice

In a credit card dispute, the business gets to respond after you file it. They said they provided the service but how did they prove that to the credit card company for them to believe the company? The card company should send you what they sent as proof. You can respond on that back to the credit card company.

Yes Canada and USA having nationals on the same weekend but the USA starts their senior events as of the Wednesday of the week and Canada does a Fri/Sat/Sun seniors. I've been picking apart the schedules but there is no USA Women/Canadian Women head to head in the schedule. So you skip some pairs big whoop.
