    Making your own clothes... Is it hard??

    I would start with reading the sewing machine manual and taking the time to practice the stitching and cleaning and re-cleaning the machine first.

    Presidential Debate--who watched?

    I think the birth certificate thing was brought up early on, at the same time that his heritage was brought up. I was a Hillary fan and so of course started to read what people were writing about it, but really, it was nothing substantial. I already hinted about how I feel about a government...
