A guy was here testing the sewing machine from my last post (which DID work) and he got away with a great deal for $180 - still nice. He asked where I got it since I don't fit the mold and he was shocked when I told him "the curb nearby 3 weeks ago." On the bright side, he just messaged me about 3 bar stools down the street from me to go check out, and my friend half a block down the road just called me about something and said she is looking for 2 bar stools, so the karma pays itself forward. I'm going to check them out now.
