I need a basic, no-frills sewing machine, but one of good quality. What model should I get?
We want to buy it for my niece for her high school graduation. She enjoyed sewing in a class that she took, and tried to sew on her parent's machine, but was frustrated because the machine was worn out. She could probably go on about her life happily without ever sewing again (she's a model and wants to be an engineer), so she certainly doesn't want to make a career out of it, but we thought it would be nice for her to have a good quality machine, if the urge ever strikes her.

3 AnswersAstronomy & Space9 years agoDo you think think the International Space Station (ISS) should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize?
Seriously. It took an amazing amount of peaceful cooperation and investment between many nations, big and small, to create the ISS. This nomination would be more of a recognition of what an amazing feat these nations accomplished, in the name of peaceful scientific research aimed at benefiting all mankind.

It kinda makes me feel like he wants everything for himself. I feel like voting for Gingrich just because he's not as rich.

10 AnswersBooks & Authors10 years agoDid you ever notice that the lid of plastic Enfamil tub is designed for left-handed people?
The scoop stays on the inside of the lid. The cup on the scoop MUST face to the right, and the handle to the left. It won't fit any other way. I, as a right-handed person, scoop with my right hand. But after I'm done, I have to flip the scoop around and awkwardly press it into the lid clasp. If the clasp were on the other side of the lid, all I'd have to do is aim with my right hand and push with my left thumb.
