GOODMORNING ALL!

Here is my wish for 2007  (thanks to Anna for the picture)

Who was looking at the bag in the Chicago videos ?
I did see runners in that bag ages ago. Wasn't the folds of the bag because the stripes were too symetrical.
And I could see the stripes and the sole of a shoe.I went to the K-Swiss website.
All K Swiss shoes seem to have their shield on the runners, but in diffferent places depending on the brand of tennis shoe. Some of the brands have the shield on the heel of the shoe.

Why did the people who filmed that video film that bag ?
Where is it now ?
My feeling is that it was Joran's belongings ... clothes that he was wearing including the shoes. He ditched it on the Monday night after he left the racquet club on his way and on his rounds to the various hotels.

We need to get Sandy Lieva (Leiva? sp? - sorry, I never get it right!) on this. Looks as though there may be a few homocides we've missed ... We didn't start this project until August 2006.

Sandy - we don't need whole translations; just see if you can tell whether some of the Section A and D stories are murders or violent crimes or crimes against tourists. I'm pretty sure I saw at least one, maybe two, homocides. Very difficult to work with because it's PDF and you can't copy and paste to the translator.

Regarding the Pittbull article...it appears that they cut off Pittbull's penis.

By its citizens keeping quiet and agreeing with their government who has led them, like sheep, to slaughter, they have brought all this on themselves, like any good little socialist-turning-communist government.  Without the ttrafficking there would be no economy save for the dirty hand gamblers.  If being spoonfed what to say, what to eat and how to behave is what they want, then I have no mercy for them.  It's time for Arubans to talk or forever hold their appetites.

O/T...I am smart today. Figured out what was with the sewing machine and the message. I moved the bobbin winder .. it moves... one position for sewing, one for winding. No where in the instructions does it mention this part that moves ! ! I would like to complain to Sears about their stinking instructions.
I left it alone and then the solution came to me as I was doing something else.
Remember Dana is on Mike on Crime today.

Good for you.  I have found many products that I have purchased with instructions that lacked.  I think a good bit of the instruction we receive is translation from another language, perhaps Indian or Chinese, Japanese, etc., and the translators do the translation without knowing the proper questions or edits to put into the final instruction.  Ah, the world economy.  Isn't it beautiful.

When I run into problems like that, I go to the manufacturer website.  Often there are FAQ's or Troubleshooting areas.  I've solved many problems that way.

Kat, if there is a local facility nearby that offers instruction in the new sewing machines, take it, because my cousin told me it was worth every minute and the money she spent (which was not a lot of money) taking the course because she learned to do things that she did not even know her machine would do.  She has made all of her draperies for her new remodel, made slipcovers for her beach house and beautiful personalized shower curtains, and has learned to do some of the "fingerwork" by machine (like smocking and so forth) that once was only done by hand.

[Kat_Gram]

These instructions, diagrams, etc are more concerned with the types of stitches one could do and how to program it. Left out the simple. How to wind a bobbin and that the bobbon holder thingie moves from side to side. I've found the same thing that Tyler has found ... like when I had to assemble my vacuum cleaner. I wanted to do it myself, but there was
anxiety when I plugged it in ! !
I did go to the Sear sewing machine website .. don't mention it.
No where in the pix does it mention this part about the bobbin.
I can now write GDaughters initials on her clothes, which is what she wants. Plus, I did want to get back into just regular sewing as it is good for me.

Yes, I am going to follow up on your idea. Classes here for those types of things usually start in January and the booklets might be out.
My daughter took quilting classes at a sewing machine store and it saved her the frustration and time as you learn from other people. Neither one is expensive. Some of them are just the one day things, but all day.
This machine does the quilting too. TY for the idea.

i think a needle and thread work.I will say 1 thing,IMO.If Jug had stopped the car when said he wished he had,something bad wouild have happened to him.He could not have taken on the vds brothers and the k2s and been okay.To big and to strong.The police would not have helped or forced the pimps to open the trunk.We have continue to seek justice.Cat

[mishy]

That's great, Kat_Gram! I remember the other day when you posted that you had this awesome computerized sewing machine that you couldn't figure something out on...What a drag...So glad you figured it out...I know you're psyched!!

[mishy]

I hope all the monkeys have a lovely and safe time ringing in the New Year! I will probably either be in bed or ringing it in here with you guys...Years ago I woulda been partying hard...so glad I don't feel the need to have to do that anymore!!!
