efaith restored...

it's such a euphoric

feeling

 to end the year...

.

...with my faith restored

in mankind

do you remember

my tale

of the broken smoky pfaff

with the seller

from h e double hockey sticks

then the ten paragraph

email from the attorney

at ebay

when i escalated a claim

that could have been

summarized

in one sentence

the ebay buyer protection plan

doesn't cover broken

stinky sewing machines

well believe it or not

after my ego recovered

i bid again on a pfaff 1475

and lost

so i sorta gave up

but oh how i love

 that machine

best one ever made

i have a few groups

of young teens

 waiting in the wings

for sewing classes

i can't wait to

get started

one more machine

 would be ideal

in sarah's sewcial lounge

so i bounced back onto

ebay

and found one

i bid and i won

it arrived today

packaged perfectly...

in the best

 of condition

even better

than my own

and included

a nice little note

from the seller

thank you mario

you made my day

and restored my faith

in mankind

ebay should thank you

i certainly do
