Default Do I buy it???

At the second hand store I found a Singer French addtion treadle
machine. They want 50 euro for it, but I can talk him down to 35 or 40
($75 talk down to $50ish) except for the band which needs tightening
it is in perfact condition. I am busy talking my self out of it. DH
says Why do you need that if the Bernina 180 shows up in 2 weeks.

You need it because it's a treadle, so you can still sew when the lights
go out!

Of COURSE you need it! Silly girl!

What on earth does "need" have to do with it?

Of course you "must" have it!

Yes, you do 'need' it. No question about it.
I bet if you look hard enough it will have your name hidden somewhere.

And you want us to help talk you OUT of it? You have your DH for that. I
say, buy it! If you have any regrets later on, you can sell it to me :-)

If you really like it, the money isn't needed elsewhere
and you have somewhere to put it then buy it.
An old treadle has no relation to a new electronic machine.
Totally different things. : )

Precisely what I was going to say, Taria! How often do you run across
things like that, Jean? Take advantage of it while you can!
