Wish you could see all of the golf clubs and golfing gadgets that DH needed over the years. At least our fabric will still be around when we decide to use it. I'm not much for gadgets but do have quite a supply of fabric and thread. Working for years in retail and seeing how women, and men also, shop made quite an impression on me.

He was making reference to my new Accuquilt cutter (which I got at Amazon at what I thought was a large discount over the listed price). He considered it over-priced even at that (and also plastic and flimsy),no man would buy it. I was reading about over-priced magazines and wondered if we really are exploited, what can we do about it?
