    Brother SE-270D Sewing/Embroidery Machine

    I haven't read this whole thread, just the last 2 or 3 pages, and decided against making a new thread just to post this Brother SE270 Disney Embroidery Machine. It's marked down from $1,299.99 to $299.99. Thought someone here might be interested.

    Help wanted - Swarovski crystal

    Swarovski also has flatback gems that you sew on. Of course, glue would be faster, but it can also fail sooner than sewn crystals. You can usually find good prices on eBay. Just do some looking around for them.

    "Interesting" e-bay item - link added post # 7

    Yeah, I also noticed that there was no photo. At one point, the item description makes it sound like it's already made, but then at another point (or several, rather) the seller implies that it's not complete! Personally, I'd rather just have all the supposed gems and make it myself, lol...

    Seriously rethinking selling on eBay

    Man, with all the horror stories, I am leary of listing anything! I still bid on some things, but ONLY when I know I have the funds available to pay for the item, and always make note of the shipping, insurance, etc. I actually have a paper grocery bag full of stuff (mainly PC components) that...

    "Interesting" e-bay item - link added post # 7

    You'd think that if someone was selling something of such a high value, they would at least take the time to use proper spelling, grammar and consistent word tense, lol. Is it just me, or does the item sound a bit.... tacky?

    Still looking for a good deal on a laptop?

    Hubby just got us a Toshiba Satellite yesterday from Fry's for $500. It's got Vista, and although I definitely prefer XP, it's time to start learning Vista. From what hubby was told, Microsoft is actually paying their affiliates to stop making hardware drivers for XP. Apparently, they want to...

    Doin' the Wii happy dance!

    Hooray and congrats! I'd be happy dancing, too, lol. The other day, I spent over 3 hours in WalMart's automotive department, and saw 4 Wii's walk out with 3 different people. They always seem to have them when we don't have the money for one, lol. Ah, well, we'll get one eventually...

    What bargain shopping boards?

    In addition to Slick Deals and Fishing For Deals, I also frequent http://dealspl.us and sometimes http://www.bigbigforums.com. There was another one, I think it was http://www.organizedchristmas.com, but haven't visited in so long, I don't know if it's still up.

    I need a cheap computer

    Man, it really stinks when your PC stops working! Do you know exactly what is no longer working? Is it the power supply or the hard drive or the processor? If you can replace what failed, you could save yourself a lot of money. I hope you can get it fixed or replaced soon!

    Anyone see 60 Minutes last night? One Laptop Per Child program

    Merekc, take a look around the site at the link that bookworm2 posted. It'll answer your concerns better than we could, but I'll still take a stab at it, lol. I think they're a step up from the Leapfrog laptop, and not quite what you'd get from Dell or someplace similar. They run on...

    Anyone see 60 Minutes last night? One Laptop Per Child program

    I was looking around at the link that bookworm2 posted, and the laptops do have a USB port, and a slot for SD cards. I haven't come across anything about internet access, but did read that the laptops automatically recognize others of their own kind in the area, and set up what they call a...

    What do you want for Christmas?

    I already know hubby got an MP3 player for me (and one for each of our girls). We don't need a digital camera (already have a good one). Can't really afford much, but I am hoping for GC's to either a local bead store or an online jewellers' supplier like Fire Mountain Gems or Rings & Things...

    Anyone see 60 Minutes last night? One Laptop Per Child program

    Heh, I was just coming in to post about this! I looked for the link to actually buy the laptops, but can't find it. I also haven't found anything about the laptop's specs.

    Freebie Thread for the week of 11/19/2007

    Don't give up on the Mario Badescu samples. It looks like their site is having problems, so try back in a couple days, or maybe next week. Their samples are fantastic! Not a whole lot, but definitely worth the wait.
