You would rather go to the sewing store to buy a new pattern that is on sale for 99 cents then search through all you boxes cause it might be there. You spend 20 minutes looking for something else that needs to be sewed on the serger with the same color thread then to just change the thread that takes 3 min. you make up a new thread for the bulliten board then finish a project for your hubby that was due three days ago. The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!

pick things up off the floor with your toes and toss it in the air to catch it so you don't have to bend over . Patsy Patsy

LOL!! My husband can do that, and both my kids are showing they have inherited his toe skills. I am horrible at it, although I must admit now that I am very pregnant I am trying my darndest to have to pick up as little as possible. Leticia |

I once awed my niece by by picking things up with my toes. I do it all the time, and she'd never seen anyone do it before! Then again, she was under 2 at the time, which should explain it...

I know I'm a little quirky but I can also wiggle my ears and wiggle my nose. When I used to babysit, the kids got a big kick out of me doing that. Princessdeni

| Can't do anything with my toes but the changing thread tcomment really rings a bell. I am really bad about looking for something to work on that is the same color....especially where the serger is concerned and my serger is easy to rethread..... |

That's not lazy. It's being resourceful with your time! I guess a serger could also be considered lazy as it sure as heck beats out zigzagging seams the old fashioned way. |
