How sad??? How wonderful!!! You will meet lots of people in the last half of your life who are perfectly willing to just sit and stagnate and complain. I bet you will learn many new skills in your lifetime. The only problem with learning a new skill is that we look at our newborn efforts and wonder why they don't measure up to those of people with years of practice under their belts. Be kind to yourself -- the people on this board will be.
Oh, and make sure there's not a kitty/lint ball built up down inside your machine.
