-> Or youse guys; but not matter what version, and they've been around half

-> 
Most regionalisms do, outside of their home territory.

->  RH> The bronchitis is probably the key.  It's hard to work up any

-> 
-> A bit of everything but yes, that was the one that took a lot out of me.
-> It hit at the time when I had a lot of written work to do for the class.
-> I must have been somewhat coherent in it tho as I got an A in the class.
-> 
I can distinctly remember acing a midterm that I took in a cold-induced
fog.  I'm not even sure how I got to campus that day safely.  It's possible
that you did well because your regular filters weren't operating.

-> ->  RH> "I'm 'Enery the Eighth I am, 'Enery the Eighth I am I am...."
-> 
-> -> Just one of the many 60's groups that never made it as big as the
-> -> Beatles.
-> 
->  RH> Just as well.  Herman's Hermits were a skiffle band one hit wonder.
-> 
-> No, they had at least 2 hits. "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter"
-> was a hit for them also.

I'd forgotten that one, if I ever knew it.  I've heard it once or twice.
 
-> -> useful information in it, like my Betty Crocker cook book. All pre

to

-> 
->  RH> In other words, it's actually useful.  I've made a meatloaf in the

-> 
-> I used mine tonight to reheat frozen butternut squash and collards while

-> 
Works for me.  It's also useful for poaching fish.  
 
->  RH> Mine hasn't done that yet (knocks self on head) but then it's not a
->  RH> serger. It's a bonehead (or wooden head to carry on the metaphor)
->  RH> simple steel case Singer.  If it dies, there's another machine in
the
->  RH> house.  The button hole function on that one stinks though.
-> 
-> My Pfaff makes good practice buttonholes, then you have to know how to
-> outsmart it to get good ones for the garment. My first Singer had a 4
-> step buttonhole process but you didn't have to turn the fabric. It
-> actually made some decent buttonholes tho. One of these days the machine
-> will size and sew them while we're working in the kitchen--most likely
-> not in my lifetime tho.
-> 
My ancient one does it very well, but you have to know how to work the
buttonhole attachment. It's a big thing that fits onto the machine.  The
modern ones that use the zigzag stitch aren't in it.
