    Today I had to fill my SUV with gas, saw a estate sale. I thought "I'll stop on the way home". 10 minutes later I was walking into the estate sale house. A man was carring a FW Singer, marked $3. I could have cried. Why didn't I stop before filling up??

    The worst mad to be is mad at yourself! I know that hurts! Maybe next time! (Cheer up - smile!)

    because it needs $500 worth of repairs to get it running.

    that's your story.

    stick to it. ;-)

    Well its because that machine didnt work anyway all the parts inside were rusted and broken, it would have been more expensive to fix than it was worth. It was full of cockroaches too! And did I mention the spiders! And it smell like raw sewage. You didnt really want that one, yours will be much better at a little higher price but so worth the wait. Thats what I would tell myself anyway.
