They vary in price. I think mine was around $150 or $175. I love my Kenmore, though, and it has a ton of different decorative stitches and an overlock stitch that works pretty well as a serge. I am dreaming of a "Babylock" though. I would go nuts with one of those!

Will you be going to see "Farenheit 911" next year? How about "Micheal Moore Hates America" ?? I'll see both. The second for laughs. But I'll wait and rent it so they don't get my $.
Hubby just finished reading SWM last night, finally. Now it's my turn. I've been keeping myself busy learning about vaccines. Talk about anger-provoking!

You should check out these 2 interviews. She interviewed Franken 1st about Lying Liars, and O'Reilly a couple of weeks later about his book. He walked off her show. I still crack up listening to them.
http://www.npr.org/display_pages/features/feature_1459090.html
I intend to read Lying Liars, bc I agree MM isn't the best author. But since our public is so ignorant and media-driven it takes books like his to reach the masses and I like him for that. They're good reads, although really disorganized, etc. He is the best "voice" for the left right now. Love that guy.
What are you gonna do with an MSW? My dearest friend is a BSW and we met working at a nursing home together. Don't know much about its uses beyond that. It takes a special person, I'm glad to see you're so determined.
Yeah, I thought about pitching a married group, but I'm not sure how long I'm going to stick around this place...

The Federal Minimum Wage went into effect on 10.24.1938, at $0.25 an hour. It is now at $5.15 an hour. After adjusting for inflation, that's 21% lower then in 1979. About 70% of all minimum wage workiers are older then 20, and most are raising a family.

No offense meant by my grammar comment in the RPG group. Since high school I've been fanatical about reading and writing, grammar and spelling, good paper and nice fountain pens. I get a particular bee in my proverbial bonnet over the misuse of "your" (as compared to "you're") and "their" (as compared to "there" or "they're"). Improper usage of "e.g." and "i.e." bugs me as well.
It's OK with me if you don't agree. You can treat the English language however you like. I just wanted to let you know my motivation for bringing it up - it has nothing to do with "grammar police badge[s]". That's a whole different kettle of snark.
With regard to the American Way, I'm currently reading a book called Fast Food Nation. It's a nonfiction book about the development of the fast food industry in America. I just finished a chapter about corporate advertising to kids. Apparently there are companies that lead a profitable existence by brokering deals between big companies (e.g., Coke or Taco Bell) and schools. The schools don't have enough money, so they plaster the buildings with advertising and push soft drinks on the kids in order to bring in the corporate dollars. What really makes me sick is that the corporations then get big tax kickbacks from the government for "supporting education"!
Judging from your field of study, you probably already knew this...but it's news to me. Ugh.
