 RH> Kinda/sorta. I've enjoyed sewing for years. I started out mostly
 RH> garment sewing but with an occaisional quilt. In HI I did more quilts
 RH> (baby quilts for special needs/hospitalised babies) than clothes; here
 RH> it's a fairly even mix.  Right now I'm doing a pink nursery set for the
 RH> grand daughter to be; when her brother was born 5 years ago, I did a
 RH> blue one. I told Rachel I couldn't afford to have a co-ordinated set of
 RH> everything in the nursery (even sewing) when she and her sister were
 RH> born so let me indulge in it now.  She was more than willing. (G)
 
I've done sewing in the past, too...  Learned how in high school... 
Made a lot of my own clothes, and a few for my son when he was little. 
I kinda enjoyed it, but not like some of my sisters, who still sew all
sorts of things, including clothes of all sorts, linens, even dolls. 
Other interests took over for me...

 NB>> happy medium.  ;)  This nineties stuff with high humidity stinks.  At
 NB>> least we had some breeze yesterday and a bit of breeze today... that
 NB>> helps some... :)  Now, if we were further south, like in MD or VA, I'd
 NB>> expect this sort of weather this early... ;)

 RH> No, actually it should be about 10 degrees (more or less) cooler than
 RH> it is now for this time of the year.  July and August are the hottest
 RH> and humidist in the south east. 

Ok, I'll admit, I was* exaggerating a little...  'Twould have been more
accurate to say that further south this would be LESS out of normal than
for us...  :)  Not only is high nineties (and 100+ even) unseasonable
for us in early June, it is still not common for July or August,
either... ;)  It's upstate NY, remember... ;)  I know, the whole eastern
seaboard plus has been sweltering, earlier than normal...  and we'll
probably be cooler than normal when it should be hot... not that I'd
mind that* all that much.  (G)

 RH> I'm glad we have central air
 RH> conditioning; it makes the inside bearable.  The car we have is only
 RH> the 2nd one we've ever had with AC; looking back, I sometimes wonder
 RH> how we survived living in NC and TX without AC in the car. 4/55 is a
 RH> poor sub for the real thing. (G)

We haven't got AC for the house.  An attic fan and fans for the upstairs 
bedrooms is all.  We hope for cool nights so that we can open the
windows and let the cooler air in, and use fans to help exhaust the hot
air... generally it works, except when things don't cool down at
night... which was happening there for a while...  Thankfully, that heat
wave broke, we got things cooled down again, and even though it was back
in the nineties today the house isn't too bad yet.  The cars have AC
though.   :)

 RH>> ... Myth #1: The computer only does what you tell it to do.
 NB> Actually that is a truth... but the myth is that you told it to do
 NB> what you WANTED it to do... (G)

 RH> My favorite line ever since Steve got the Commodor 64 is "the computer
 RH> is only as smart or as dumb as the one using it". (G)

As in, GIGO...  :)   The computer, besides, is awfully literal in its
interpretations of what you say... (G)
