Obviously a lot better than mine because you have terrifying scalpels and other equipment. And you may be able to tell my level because I didn't know the proper name for seam stripper. I have one that I use mainly to take out labels, which irritate me and make me itch. I can (and do) sew on buttons, so there's that. Can I just say that I love this thread (pun not intended, but apt) and there are some days when it really keeps my spirits up. So thank you everyone.

Presumably you can try it and quit at any point? You never know, you might score one of those handy sewing un-pickers to go with your scissors. 😄

Please, it's "could have" not "could of". Just in case I need to give an example: "It could of tasted better," is wrong. "It could have tasted better," is correct.

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but why is this thread called "The Feels" and not something actually descriptive of what is discussed here like "Politics"?

I haven't had a printer in years because of the cost of the cartridges. Admittedly I rarely need to print anything these days, but when I do I go to my local library.

Yes, I'm sorry if I was unclear. That is indeed a Christmas cactus - Big Willy was one of these (below), but more "upstanding", if you get my drift. (Off to my corner before I get banned. And no, I haven't been at the eggnog.)
