Of course they holler out to their relatives! I find they seem to travel in 3 around my house. Lately I have come across a few that really need love but I have told DH nope it is not on my wish list so it cant go home with us. It has gotten to the point that when come across a machine at a yard sale or thrift store he goes to it and starts to check it out, spins the hand wheel lifts it up to see what the bottom looks like, never thought that day would come!
