I'm picking up my "old" friend today from the dealer. When I called her yesterday to tell her I'd be in today to pick it up, I said I wanted to talk to her about the Janome (meaning I would like to trade it for a Baby Lock), she thought I wanted to come for lessons and said, "I can't spend an hour with you to give you lessons." I thought that was a little rude and I don't think I'll go to her again for anything. I'm sure she won't exchange the Janome, either.
