Then, customers could throw the used wipes on the grocery store floor. Chuck

They'll do anything they can to look 'busy' while avoiding the real job at hand. As was said here... keep track of the criminals and they'll know where the 'bad' guns are. Typical lame-assed politicians! Chuck

Must've missed that - what position did Mom get elected to? I haven't seen anything to make me think she wasn't sincere in her message, but then again, being overseas I'm pretty much limited to whatever snippets make the various news shows that AFN transmits. Regarding the 'primary concern', I'm just not seeing how saying "don't do what I did" is somehow going to further Mom's career. Well, she was at one time, governor of Alaska. Was on the ticket with McCain in the last presedential election. she (obviously) has intentions to run for president in the next election. To me, that makes her a politician. As for the 'don't do as I did' thing, anyone can say that. Chuck

I appreciate your in-put!!! I've often wondered what the finish on old Singers was... now, I know. I have all Singers and really like them. Besides my 31-15, I have a 7-33 centennial model, 211-G-165 and a 401. I learned at a very early age on a Singer with no reverse and have learned to work without it. I really appreciate the 'simplicity' of the 'old' Singers. They get the job done and as long as I keep them cleaned and oiled, they don't let me down. Chuck

Got any examples of that? Maybe a PSA for kids to get drunk and fuck, vs the 'don't do what I did' message? The fact that her mother is a politician, I don't trust her. If, she is honestly and truly sincere in her message, I'll cut her some slack. Personally, I think her primary concern is Sarah Palin' and furthering her career. Chuck

Doing all the things you mentioned, should keep you out of mischief. If, it is laytex, the kerosene will make removal mush easier. Dis-assembling it will make cleaning it easier. After soaking, wipe it down with clean rags. I've had mine since 1993 and have never had a minute's trouble with it. I've sewn rip-stop, 0-P, Cordura, para-pak, light weight leather and canvas with it. You take care of it, you can't kill it. I wanted to add... I'm not familiar with the other machine you mentioned. Sorry, I couldn't be of help. Chuck

And just *when* did she hit the public eye? Oh, yes...during the campaign, when she was already pregnant. That one doesn't pass the 'sniff test', Chuck. She's telling other kids "don't make the mistakes I did" - sounds like a pretty good example to me. Call me a skeptic but... anyone can say anything on the campaign trail. She seems to say one thing then do the opposite. Chuck

I would advise against sand-blasting it. You'll have a helluva time cleaning all the grit out of the machine. Take it out of the table and soak the head in kerosene for a couple day. Let drip dry and you should be able to pick the paint off with your fingernails. It worked for me on my 31-15. It still has the original finish. Just to add: I'd be willing to bet, the paint on your machine is latex. Chuck It doesn't appear to be latex, but more like spray paint. I'll try to figure out how to get that much kerosene and soak it (living in a city apartment). I was thinking I could take it completely apart, down to the bare head, but I guess that'll be a PITA to put back together? What I did, was laid the machine on it's side (less kerosene. I put small wooden blocks under it so as to keep from damaging certain parts. It'll sure clean one up and you don't have 'dry' metal when you go to oiling it. I was kinda hoping it wouldn't be spray paint. I do know, the original finish is 'tough' on one of those machines. When I first got mine, I spent about a month, cleaning it and re-finishing the table and stand. I put seven coats of poly-urathane on the table top. I let each coat dry and buffed it lightly with 0000-steel wool in-between coats. I love that machine and it's never let me down. Good luck with yours! Chuck

I don't get it... kids of famous parents or they're in the music biz, get a gold record and nothing left to do but write their memoirs. gimme a break! Chuck I remember when memoirs were done by people who had accomplished something significant in life. This... just does not fill the bill does it Chuck. She got knocked up in her teens; I never managed that! Must count for something. She obviously, slept through 'sex-ed'! Either that or her 'all about family' mom was too busy shoving her mug in the public eye to properly raise her daughter. She's a real fine example, she is! Chuck

Chuck I remember when memoirs were done by people who had accomplished something significant in life. This... just does not fill the bill does it Chuck. It certainly doesn't! They could do their memoirs in comic book form. It would be more appealing to the little 'bubble-gummers' out there. I'm certainly not going to run to my local bookstore and scoop-up a copy of hers or Justin Bieber's or any other teeny-boppers memoirs. Chuck

Johnny Cash-Hurt (pretty deep video)[/url] Absolutely wonderful video. There's no way you can watch itwith dry eyes. Chuck

I would say it was being "high on theocrazy". He is like a BORAT, but with the power to destroy peoples lives For sure! The logo or whatever it is, is ugly but the guy saying it too much rembles the word 'Zion' is just plain squirrely! Some people just have to be startin' some shit. Chuck

Someone has a very wild imagination and may have even been on acid when they looked at it and dertimined it was racist. Sheeeesh... chuck

Stand your ground! You know your job and you know the rules. It's difficult but you'll be respected in the long run. Good luck to you1 Chuck

Convince a pilot of that! Chuck

That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Chuck

Boogity, boogity, boogity... let's go racin', boys! Chuck

Seems to me, a person who 'legally' owns a gun(s) should be allowed to carry a gun. The news story was quite vague but I agree with the 'theory' of it. I'm sure, the 'anti-gunners' are fixin' to have an aneurism. Chuck

That would turn a bumper sticker into a billboard... with a picture of every politician! Chuck

Google 'Singer Industrial Products'. They have the manual (down-loadable, printable) there. Check the list of machines on the site, the 31-15 is listed. Also, that machine originally used a leather (rounded) belt. You can get parts through them for that machine, also. Chuck

+1 They could screw with him.. "Well, I'm a former drug runner...whatchyagonnado?" "I hacked the Pentagon...whatchyagonnado?" "I got your 'federal' agent right here...whatchyagonnado?" So far, he's fairly ammusing. He just has a big mouth and could mess-up Robs plans. He's gotta go! They'd better blind-side him! He could have maybe, set a bomb made from a coconut, shoelace and a crab-claw! Chuck

I love how celebrity opinions always come from great people, UNLESS they disagree with you. ...also, Justin Bieber said he did not believe that victims of rape or incest should be allowed to get abortions! Such wisdom at such a young age. Chuck
