Are you joking? A person can't always tell on the internet.
I've never thought of anything else because my mom always had a bobbin box pretty much full of bobbins in various colors, ready to go. As I piece, I make sure I have several bobbins in the color that I want--nothing more frustrating than having to stop and wind a bobbin when I'm in a piecing mood! As an experiment once, I decided to use up a 5000 meter cone of white thread--used it up to fill bobbins all in one evening. It took about an hour or hour and a half and filled 99 bobbins.
