MJP, congrats on your tennis victory! And your new fallproof class.... I had to chuckle at your mention of the cantankerous personality. I've had those... and they can be a handful. Bravo on your diplomacy, LOL!
What a great guy your husband is! But, I wouldn't be able to part with $17,000 for a longarm either. I am very happy with my sit down machine. And the robotics... only rob you of the most creative part of the process. I hope you are able to get your SD machine up to speed again.
I'm still sick as a dog with this sinus infection. Sweated with fever all night. Doc changed me to a different antibiotic, so I'm hoping it will work.
