so hard to care about life
12:06 am
ursh

oh dear Hurshy - whats up ?
12:07 am
hurshy

same things that are always up
12:07 am
hurshy

pretty much every decision i've made since senior year of high school has been wrong
12:08 am
hurshy

i don't believe i will ever find lasting happiness
12:08 am

perhaps you have been looking in the wrong places to find your lasting happiness - maybe go for something out of your comfort zone - so cliche - but true
12:09 am
dizgrannie

hurshy, don't know what you are going thru, but never look for happiness - it will find you when you are good and ready
12:09 am
hurshy

i've looked in a variety of places.
12:10 am
hurshy

so what do you do in all the miserable years in the meantime, grannie, to not kill yourself?
12:13 am
dizgrannie

would you believe I am the happiest I have been for nearly 3 years - why? cos I am on my own...don't worry I have good friends etc, but these days I prefer to be on my own after nursing hubby thru his strokes for all those years (He passed 12 mths last Tues) And now I can do what I want, when I want and am happy
12:14 am
hurshy

happy for you, grannie
12:16 am
dizgrannie

hurshy, do you have hobbies? If so join FB groups that are related. I do diamond painting and have found cyber friends thru these groups
12:19 am

hurshy, do f5-18.

za 6/48 A nice Yiddish word for a somewhat fat well-rounded person

When I was growing up, a za6 girl was considered healthy. Times have changed!

I figure there are 3 things to do in this world. 1. Take care of business. This is getting to work,doing the laundry, paying the bills, etc. 2. Work towards the future. So, writing a resume, taking a class, etc. 3. Enjoy the journey. I would score each day. most days I manage to take care of business. If I also do something tofurther my goals, yay, that's a two. And if I do something fun, yay, that's a three. If I come home from work and just want to fall into bed, I might phone a sister or friend to add a point to my to my day. It got me through some tough times.
12:27 am
ARB

Lizlin, not my Yiddish accent either. Must be Czech or Hungarian
12:29 am

I guess so - or perhaps just enable!

One of the most profound Buddhist philosophies that changed my life in a huge way is the idea that the source of all unhappiness and despair can be summed up in one word and that word is "desire".... when one examines their sadness and discontent - sure enough, at the very nucleus of the pain is a desire of some sort..... For example, consider the following-

How can he or she be so insensitive? - a desire that the person in question react in the way we think that we would have reacted.

We could not afford gifts this year. - a desire that more money was available for discretionary spending.

My child is very ill. - a desire for a more favourable prognosis and longevity for a loved one.

My daughter was caught cheating on an exam. - a desire that our children realize that decisions they make now may have long term repercussions.

Finally, there is the universal question - Why and how could this have happened? - a desire for answers to questions that may not have answers which would give closure.

The key to surmounting the pain is to accept the desire for what it is - a wish that, for whatever reason, cannot be fulfilled at the present moment.... and then to try to move away from the desire.... let it go.... try to work at becoming less attached to the desire.... to view it more calmly and less emotionally.... In the beginning, this is extremely hard to do but I promise that if you work at it, your pain WILL lessen much sooner.

Thanks to you, ARB, Liz and so many others. And come time for festivals, even Fridays each week, I'm made to salivate at descriptions of special foods. And all I can return the favour with is "G'day, Mate" and Vegemite!

12:45 am

...and the best of all : "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oy! Oy! Oy!"
12:45 am
Lizlin

Of course! I knew that before I moved to Aus :)

I have learned a LOT from a lot of different Babblers, and some of that was even language.
12:46 am
Lizlin

😂
12:47 am
dizgrannie

dofith, sorry but its OI, OI, OI, but I knew what you meant...lol
12:47 am
dofith

Liz, it's a wonder it wasn't enough to change your mind about emigrating! As if the heat and creepie crawlies weren't enough!
12:48 am
ARB

oy oy oy is the Yiddish spelling!
12:48 am
dizgrannie

LOL ARB
12:48 am
Lizlin

Ah well! I could certainly do without the legless crawlies but I do prefer living here to London.
12:49 am
Lizlin

Oy oy oy describes this grid pretty well.
12:49 am
dofith

Thanks, diz - thought it looked wrong! See, ARB - I told you I was becoming fluent in Yiddish!
12:50 am
hurshy

are you like me, liz, don't even like to say the word for those creatures? if so i'm amazed you can live in oz
12:50 am
dofith

Well, I'm glad for that, Liz. As for me, I'd trafe with anyone who live in a cool, damp climate with no sharks.
12:51 am
dizgrannie

aaah the snakes, we have the most deadliest on the planet...been on the planet nearly 65 yrs and the best I have encountered was a blue tongue lizard
12:51 am
Lizlin

No - I can say the word.
12:51 am
dofith

I'd even trade...
12:51 am
hurshy

i call them BCs - bad creatures
12:52 am
Lizlin

We've had a green tree snake and a carpet python in our garden - neither venomous but I don't really care. I just retreated inside pretty quickly.
12:52 am
Lizlin

They definitely are BCs
12:53 am
dofith

You'd love it hear, hurshy - mozzies and flies, huge roaches, snakes, sharks - and too many P.M's!
12:54 am
Lizlin

BBL. Have a good day / evening everyone.
12:54 am
hurshy

i would NOT love it. NZ, maybe.
12:54 am
dofith

Actually, you guys get through a few of those as well!
12:54 am
hurshy

i'm really in the US
12:55 am
hurshy

our congress is far worse than a parliament
12:55 am
dofith

You'd even love it here. My spelling has gone to pot - better quit. 'Bye all. Oi! Oi! Oi!

Oh, hurshy - I got it wrong. Sorry. And I definitely will not enter a political discussion. Much as I want us to become a republic, I don't think I want the US system. Anyway, hurshy, I hope chatting is lifting your despair, even for a few minutes. 'aBye now x

my poor girl. how is the ankle feeling? have you adequate pain relief? please let me know exactly when the surgery is. xoxoxox
1:10 am
sprite

my dear friend, no worries. I emailed you with the pain regiment, it is under control. It hurts but not unbearably.
1:11 am
sprite

monday I am to go to the hospital again to check the swelling. After that, to the surgeon and then we will hear more.
1:11 am
grannyrose

ugh... that bone ache is soooo ugly.
1:12 am
sprite

it is. And will be for some time to come, since they are gonna repair it with all kinds of metal :(
1:13 am
grannyrose

been there, done that, got the t-shirt, not going back... mwah i weep for you....it is so nasty. how did you do it? or is that asking for TMI?
1:16 am
sprite

I went to our neighbours, the bird rescue facility. To say hi and introduce myself, and also to ask if they would like me to come help once a week or so. I was just going to get the tour, when we left the room and I missed a step. It is an odd little downstep, three steps and the last one is slightly deeper and onto an uneven floor with a big wet doormat on it (for desinfecting purposes). Once on the floor, I saw that my foot was literally pointing the wrong way. Thought it was just my shoe, but no, it was the whole foot, alas.
1:18 am

they gave me so much, I was out of it for a while. That is when they put my foot back in more or less the right direction. Doc said it also causes memory loss for a little while, I may never remember the pain of that moment. Fine with me, lol.

Change the needle after three hours of sewing.

ch1212

?? Seriously? Wow, that seems like such a short time frame. I've used the current needle (it came with the machine) for ...probably ... 40 hours in the past 2 years. Yikes! I will go change it now. Thanks, BzznBea!
2:36 pm
BzznBea

I change mine all the time. Sewing machines like good needles.
2:36 pm
chrisk

it depends on the type of fabric you are sewing on. Needles last longer when sewing cotton. Denim shortens the needle life. If you use pins they don't last as long - they nick the pins and get dings that pull on the fabric
2:37 pm
ch1212

Thanks, Bea. Just trying to take in some pants and tops since I've lost some weight, before going on a cruise at the end of the month. And thanks for the tips, chrisk :)
2:37 pm

Well you are supposed to pull the pins before sewing over them. =) Tension doesn't like sewing over pins.
2:38 pm
chrisk

I know - but most sewers I know don't pull the pins
2:39 pm
ch1212

I did not know that. I bought the machine to hem 150 yards of sheer fabric for wall panels for an event, and since then just occasionally for mending. I will now pull pins! Thank you so much, both of you.

ch1212

Bea? I have now realized I need to go buy a new needle. In the manual, it doesn't specify a type other than "use sewing machine needles for home use." It does, however, specify a specific type of bobbin if I want to buy some extra. Do you know if the Brothers sewing machines all use the same type of needle that I could probably find at a fabric store?
2:59 pm
BzznBea

You can buy Schmetz needles. They fit all machine and are sold in big box stores.
2:59 pm
BzznBea

Just make sure you get the size and type you need for the fabric you are sewing on.
3:01 pm
ch1212

Thank you so much. When I was young, my mom and grandmother were both seamstresses (think suits, gowns, etc), but of course I wasn't interested then. Mom and grandma both passed away in my 20's, and now in my 60's I have a sewing machine and wish they were here to teach me. Fortunately, our babble community has experienced players who are willing to share their knowledge. Thanks!!
3:01 pm
BzznBea

You are welcome. =)
3:02 pm
cybernan

most home sewing machines use the same type of needle - but buy good quality ones. Usually you buy a size for whatever fabric you are using. #14 is the standard size for cottons. You will want #16 or 18 for denim and heavyweight fabrics and #10 or #8 for fine and sheer fabrics. Always use ballpoint for knits and sharps for everything else. Also, the finer or tighter weave (thinking of silk or peau de soie here) you need to change the needle fairly often.
3:03 pm
cybernan

* I also use Schmetz brand
3:03 pm
ch1212

Taking notes, nan -- thank you. I am going to be working with lightweight polyesters and chiffon.
3:06 pm
cybernan

chiffon especially requires a really sharp nick free needle - and a lighter weight thread if you can find it in the colour you need.
3:07 pm
cybernan

all this talk of sewing reminds me that I need to get my serger into the shop for servicing.
3:08 pm
ch1212

ooh, thread ... I hadn't thought about that, but it makes sense. I will get some lightweight black too. I watched a youtube video on how to take in the sheath dress and the evening chiffon palazzo pants. Thanks again you two!
3:10 pm
cybernan

go 8 please?
3:13 pm
cybernan

If you are using pins instead of basting, use silk pins on the fabrics you have described. They are the long thin straight pins that are noticably thinner than the regular ones.
3:15 pm
ch1212

I'm adding those to my growing list of supplies. I'm also laughing ruefully now, realizing just WHY those 150 yards of chiffon wall coverings turned out so badly. (We were able to use them for the event, but the hanging portion was 15' from the floor, so it was hard for people to see how badly they looked.)
