During "our" hayday, the things we were buying and doing were as spectalcular as those today are doing. We drove older cars and look what cars can do now...Park themselves????
So let's not even think about being the "antiques" in this new quilting world....we brought it to what it is today with our knowledge and experiences. Now it's their turn to do for their family future. Just saying.... LOL
For example...remember when we bought our first stereos and got free albums with it and wow, a great round table with an extra needle? OMgosh, look what they have now. I don't even want to have to learn it. Let the younger ones go forward...we use what works for us still. And in IMHO lasts longer...
What does IMHO stand for? I have searched abbreviations (there are many posts under that title) but haven't been able to find it. Is there some way to isolate the abbreviations key from all of the other "abbreviations" posts entered so that every time we want to look one up we won't have to go through a gazillion posts? Maybe moderators could create an abbreviations section and members could submit new ones to add as they get created. This gets frustrating at times--I don't mind taking the time to look one up except when it takes a long time. Thanks.
