Dipo, yes. You should cover the unit in the Winter. Window AC covers aren't that expensive, or you could make one "homemade" pretty easily too. Thanks for reading my blog!

Darc-I'll check out your blog. Lexie-I hate heat too. I am loving the cold summer but looking forward to winter in Miami-70's and no humidity Stop-what is the story on the picture of your dog? Leaf-nothing ventured, nothing gained. And good for you for fighting the ticket. JuJu is right, there are so many fun places on the board. Thanks to the people in the community center area of the board, I quit smoking. Over 17 months after 40 years of puffing away. I really do owe it to the people on the board. I love TVCH!!

Geri, I forgot all about you quitting smoking. Nobody has posted over there in so long. Major congratulations to you on staying quit. I wonder if the thread still even exists? I blame Pamy if it is gone (okay, not really).

Ok I have a stupid question about my almost brand new sewing machine. It won't sew... I installed a new needle <no it is not on backwards, and yes the foot is on place> and it goes off track and breaks the needle every time. Any Suggestions?

Bbnut...is your needle clamp screw loose? Is your upper thread tension too tight? Is there lint in your feed area, jamming the little feed things? That's all I got. All problems I've had.

Also...Is your tension set correctly for the fabric you are sewing? Is it the right presser foot?

Feeling kind of sad. Just signed on and saw that Ted Kennedy died. Love or hate him, it's the end of an era for me.

Jush - while I am not a big Ted Kennedy fan, his passing is truly the end of an era. And, it doesn't appear that Caroline is willing to carry on the family business.

You may be right Jarreau. I can't say as if I blame her. That family has always seemed to be cursed!

My Mom is having surgery today, again. Last October, they performed surgery to lift her bowels and bladder which had "fallen" and is common amongst some women who have had children. They weren't able to do it the way that they wanted to, and told her that it could fail. Well, it did, so she's back in for surgery today and they now have a new and different way to fix it. They also think her bladder may have been injured as she shows signs of infection that suggests contamination from the surrounding tissues. They believe that now that they know what they're up against, that this time the new method will hold and she won't have to do this anymore, and it will relieve the pain, discomfort, and pressure. And thank you to anyone who goes to my new blog, I really do appreciate it. http://darclyte.blogspot.com/

I wish your mom well, Darclyte. One of our kids started the fall semester this week. The other starts next week. Leafsweetie, I accidentally turned into a funeral procession last week. I drove with it for five blocks before I figured out what happened.

Geri: Congrats on being smoke-free! Darclyte: Best of luck to your mom! Tvclubber: I was actually with the funeral procession. We had a red light but the opposite traffic let us go through. Unfortunately for me, it was a red-light camera intersection. I was still found "guilty" because its illegal to cross a red regardless, but don't have to pay the $180 fine. As for Ted Kennedy, I'm saddened by his death - although if he was suffering, he's at peace now. He's done so much for civil rights. As a Canadian, I admire his passion for equal rights for all.

I understood you to be with the procession, Leafsweetie. I didn't know that a funeral procession can't cross a red light, though.I'm glad you don't have to pay the fine. I could have been fined hefty for doing what I did, even though it was an innocent mistake. Godspeed to Ted Kennedy.

My dad is going to be put in Hospice in the next couple of days - this is actually a good thing because he has been in pain for so long (years - severe for months) and being transferred to Hospice status means his pain medication can be increased. The other good thing is that I did get to see him earlier in the month and my son and I had a really great visit before his pain got worse. While this means we don't know how much time is left, he will be spending his remaining time in little pain if any.

Geri congratz on the stopping smoking. I stopped about 10 years ago and can't even imagine smoking now. As for my dog, I don't know what you mean, that is just my little Skittles, oh and my nieces teeth photo shopped in his mouth. Isn't that the funniest thing. Darclyte and Need I will say a prayer for you mother and father that they are well taken care of and in God's protection. And the rest of you, I love you all and miss you when BB is not on!

Stop, there's no need to miss anyone when BB is not on - just join us in other areas of the board! Click on some of the links at the top of the page - there's a lot of discussion going on here outside of the BB area!

Back to the sewing machine question, check to see if your machine is halfway between zig-zag.If it isn't directly on straight stitch or zig-zag it will break the needle if it is hitting metal. My suggestion is not to have the machine plugged in and slowly hand turn the crank and watch where the needle is hitting. You can go from there and see where the problem is originating.

Needmylifeback - Sorry to hear about your Dad. I hope that he is out of pain. Well, believe it or not, but my Mom was discharged only about 3.5 hours after the surgery! She said that they didn't have to do anything to her bladder and that it only seemed to be contaminated because it was being pressed by her organs and wasn't working properly. So, since they didn't have to do anything additional, and since they had already known what they wanted to do and where everything was, they were able to get in and get out quickly. She was NEVER even on a bed after surgery, she was only in a chair, and was up walking around less than 2 hours after the surgery! Wow! So, she seems to be in great spirits and is VERY happy that it's over and it appears to have been so easy. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

I'm happy it went so well for her, Darclyte. Needmylifeback, It's hard that your Dad is in so much pain. I hope this move helps in that respect and I'm happy you and your son had a good visit with him.
