Viking Quality Viking is shifting away from their Swedish built machines, just their SE Diamond is now made in Sweden. Plus they're still keeping their prices really high compared to other better featured machines. Vacuumfreeeke,(nice quilt!) the needle threader you describe on your machine...

Mighty Husqvarna Very much an avid sewer and embroiderer here as well. Still keeping my Viking #1+ running here. Does a 4x4 embroidery field. I use software called Embird for my digitizing. I used to sell Viking part time. For those looking at older Vikings, though strong machines, they can...

Bubbies A friend of mine in California served these and they are closest to my Grandmother's homemade pickles. As as kid I accidently discoverd large fermenting crock on her attic stairs. Told my mother about it. She laughed and said "did you like those pickles we had at dinner last night...

I saw this site a few years ago They have a wide variety of nice fabrics for all sorts interests. My primary sewing is clothing and doing digitizing for embroidery machines. Thought I'd share one of their other pages, though I don't recall seeing any quilts in these unique patterns...

I usually go to Vons, they have far less homeless people in their parking lots than our Smiths stores here. Did like Ralphs when they were here in Las Vegas. And a few months ago went into two different Publix markets in Florida and loved those! Very bright, clean and friendly staff. Wish they...

It came from outerspace Found this one on Lileks.com this morning and just had to share it!

PETE! Where the heck did you find this thing? AND with those other Youtube postings, you can get them all going at once for a wall of sound effect. Sure scared the crap out of my dogs! Oddly, I like this!

Dealer Guides Gyrafoam, yet more junk I used to own were the dealer guides for Cadillac. The latest one I had was for 1976. Even then if you wanted to order say 1959 Seminole Red paint, white leather, trimmed in claret piping and black carpets, not a problem! Yet another barge of mine, a 1966...

Nice Coupe Actually both of those last postings. The Lincoln is stunning and even with that price, considering what you pay for a new one I'd take the 1969. It reminds me of a friend's 1965 (I had one of those as well) that was in a color called Madison Gray. It would appear to change color...

Picture Time Today Am doing a Spring Cleaning and rearranging the house today so I'm finding some old photos. Here's another Stromberg Carlson TV that may be in the Phoenix area. I had it until the mid 90s and then sold it to another collector friend of mine. He kept it a few years and it sold...

1969 Lincoln Hydralique, speaking of those 1969 Lincolns, I found a photo of my last one. I've had two of them. In a phrase, what a nightmare! Pretty car, but nothing was right with it. Very much a love/hate relationship. I loved it, it loved my wallet, but hated me! Going by the VIN, found it...

Fun with Phones I've been getting these stupid car warranty calls, credit card consolidations, etc. on my cell as well. I found if a number is captured by my phone I call the number back and it usually routes into an automated system allowing you to remove your number. Should that fail and you...

Constant Vigilance! Oh this hit a hot button with me. After being almost attacked by two local "celebrity" panhandlers in SF years ago (thank Heavens for the power of a 390 Thunderbird engine) I don't let any of these people within 10 feet of me. The panhandlers were on local news several...

Dumont in Phoenix I was born and raised in Phoenix. In the early-mid 1970s around 7th Street & Roosevelt area there was a collector had a bunch of older Cadillacs and such. Lived on the east side of 7th. The place looked like his own wrecking yard. I had the chance to meet and talk with him on...

Clip from Movie Off to the side on Youtube it mentioned the clip was from the movie Mondo Cane. As a kid recall the movie was sensational in its day, from 1962. If 1962 is the time frame the cars they crushed weren't that old. Though I recall around 1958-59 friends of the family that had a...

Foodstuffs Growing up in a family of seven we had a regular size Kelvinator two door freezer/refrigerator. How my Mom kept food in that thing for a week was amazing. My Father did the shopping on Wednesday nights for the week. However it being stuffed with food didn't leave a lot of room for...

Hungarian Version Chuck, that would be wide egg noodles, homemade prefered, cabbage that has been grated, then salted down for a couple hours. And a chopped onion. My Mom used Crisco to fry the onion and cabbage after she squeezed the water out of it. Once all fried and a little burning didn't...

Bacon Noodles Had a friend that used to make this dish. Believe of Polish origins. Others, feel free to make corrections on this. Package of wide egg noodles cooked Package of bacon fried, drained and then crumbled. Small container of cottage cheese Salt/pepper to taste Combine the cooked...

Love it! Have had my Rowenta steam generator going on to three years now and don't know what I'd do without it. I did buy the Rowenta ironing board to go with it, to hold the generator part. For me the iron part doesn't get as hot as a regular iron. I do get lazy and not always return it back...

Hmmm, didn't recall that ride at Disneyworld.
