I form my opinion based on what you offer. You might be Albert Einstein, but based on your posts here, you are merely a moron with a superiority complex. <BR/><BR/><B>"Some of the greatest minds on this planet grew up in worse conditions than I did, you idiot. It's all about processing."</B><BR/>I agree. However, overcoming adversity doesn't make one a great mind. It just makes one persistent. Unless, of course you are suggesting that you are a great mind. In that case I'd say you are mistaken. <BR/><BR/><B>"I suggest that you get a better bullshit filter. In fact I suggest that you get a real ID and stop hiding because that makes you nothing but a speck of dust. :-)"</B><BR/>Not having a real ID would make my opinion more or less valid? It's not an anonymous opinion. Sew knows who I am and that's all that matters. Having a valid ID means nothing. It's just letters; pixels on the data highway.. unless you really believe sewmouse's name is really sewmouse, or babzy s really babzy in the really real world. etc etc? <BR/><BR/>Besides, I get to be inventive with my nick when I want to be. <BR/><BR/>Nice highschool tact, Billy. The fact is my opinion is just as valid as yours, and prolly more so, but i digress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12969277.post-22015062431541244512007-09-14T14:44:00.000-05:002007-09-14T14:44:00.000-05:00An important post Sew!

I wanted to tell them that I for one refused to buy a single toy this Christmas. Not one for any reason. I will make everything. In fact, I'll post pictures of my stuff on my blog just for the heck of it. <BR/><BR/>Lots of work? Sure.

Lots of folks did. Now to get my daily dose of lead I have to buy Chinese products. LOL<BR/><BR/>The only man I've ever known that got lead poisoning was a man I worked for in a service station in Seattle. He pumped most of the gas and back in those days it was full service.<BR/><BR/>But I worked with leaded gas a lot as a mechanic also. I worked with lots of nasty things, even for a while in a nasty lead smelter, guess I'm just a tough critter.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12969277.post-7873575626754012822007-09-11T22:23:00.000-05:002007-09-11T22:23:00.000-05:00ugh.. *hustles off to tell the wife about the fuck...ugh.. <BR/><BR/>*hustles off to tell the wife about the fuckfaces at Mattel*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12969277.post-29138164480897793752007-09-11T21:44:00.000-05:002007-09-11T21:44:00.000-05:00Hi Sew, I'll be reading your post later but for no...Hi Sew, I'll be reading your post later but for now wanted to tell you....

Mattel sat on the information about the lead-contaminated toys for months before finally releasing it only because someone was leaking the report to the press. Otherwise they might have waited for more months.<BR/><BR/>I will not permit my granddaughter to be some sort of science experiment in bad business. She's a precious little girl. I am making every one of her gifts this year. I'm a skilled crafter, so it's more a matter of time than of ability. Thanks to Sewmouse I already have some of the patterns and am actively seeking more. <BR/><BR/>I haven't found the right sweater yet, for instance, though it's just a matter of time. I am seriously considering a pink Aran knit and am holding off only because I'm not sure I'll have time for Aran because I am making so many other things this year.<BR/><BR/>I will not buy a single child's toy commercially again until something is done to ensure their safety.Leandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816481043872352018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12969277.post-26732476452675507812007-09-11T16:29:00.000-05:002007-09-11T16:29:00.000-05:00Good god.
