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?
And what hobby does your husband have - mine plays golf -
I happen to know that that is a more expensive hobby than quilting - a dozen golf balls are a lot more than $7.00 -
