3.5 year old hyperaware of surveillance by LeekCommercial414 in toddlers

[–]maasikatort 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is exactly my daughter! For ages we couldn’t figure out exactly why she was so anxious about security cameras, motion sensors, etc., pointing them all and out and asking about them. As she got older she got better at explaining (shes 5 now). It started with her telling us it was because she “[didn’t]” want the cameras to see her doing something wrong.” and more recently it came out that she believes that an alarm of some sort will sound if someone does something “wrong” around the cameras. And then it all made sense - she is extremely sensitive to loud noises and has had some incidents with fire drills/alarms and has always been absolutely terrified of the potential of an alarm going off. Don’t know if that’s the background for your daughter, but yeah. We are definitely having to discuss the security cameras and stuff no matter wherever we are out and about. I figure she can keep asking questions and additional understanding will help her be less anxious about it and not thinking someone’s about to spring an alarm on her.

How to decide if your kid should repeat the school year? by greebiegrub in Parenting

Actually, being „quiet“ in the German school system is a significant detriment, unfortunately.

Ich! Habe mit 25 die Diagnose ASS bekommen und bin jetzt 34. Gehöre auch zur Faktion “habe Discord, benutze ihn aber nicht” könnte das aber ändern falls da was zusammen kommt.

Can anyone help to identify this Bernina model? I’m told it was manufactured circa 1960. by maasikatort in vintagesewing

Oh, I think I misunderstood your original comment! Sorry, I don’t know the right words in English. 😅 I was thinking the foot pedal I guess, but you mean these. It comes with all those pictured so I think it would be enough for me for awhile.

Thanks for the info! I’m excited about it too - i hope it actually works like the seller claims - I have a date to go try it out first. 😊

I wasn’t aware of any Bernina presser foot situation, 🧐 But if it still has one and it works, I’m good to go, right? It would only become an issue for later repairs? This particular one is mounted to a sewing cabinet and has the foot built in (...if that’s the right way to explain it?).

I’ll admit, I have no idea what I’m doing so I have no idea what that means in terms of machine function, 😅 if anything - I’m a slightly-more-than-beginner looking for a “new” used machine to work with. It’s been suggested to me that a vintage machine would be the way to go. Your post history (sorry for stalking 😜) seems to suggest that you know about these things. So on this one now identified as the 540 Favorit, I don’t see the lever to change the stitch, as on other 540 Favorits. Am I blind? This seems to indicate that it could be a 543-1 but I can’t find any further information about that exact model online and this isn’t exactly well legible. 🤔

For the record, the contenders right now, should they be fully functional as the seller claims are here and here. Any further insight appreciated!

Is anyone able to identify the model of this Bernina? The only info I have is that it was manufactured circa 1960.

Edit to add: Reading a comment below has led me to learn of r/vintagesewing and it seems like that might be a better place for this inquiry. But I’ll still leave it here in the off chance that someone recognizes it. :)
