[blparent] updating and questions

[Jennifer Stewart Jackson]

First I want to congratulate you on becoming a grandmother. I know it will
be lots of fun.

Now about your sewing problem. Have you ever tried a loop threaded? They are
very similar to dental floss and are formed into a loop. In fact they
started as a dental hygiene item, but now you can buy them In any sewing
supply store. It may take us a few messages back and forth, but we can come
up with a solution that will work for you.?

Hi all,
I know that I have not posted in quite a while.
I try to read many of the digests, but just have not gotten around to post.
Besides, if someone has already given my suggestion, I don't clog the list
with "yeah, that's what I think, too."
Anyway, I have a question about sewing.

I'm not a diabetic, but I can't get that pesky needle threaded. I say that
I'm not a diabetic because many people have asked this question because they
think that I don't have as much sensitivity in my fingers. I can read
braille just fine.
Yes, I had learned to sew in school. But, the art teacher always threaded my
needle --- how helpful was that???? I've even tried many needle threaders
and scotch tape on the end of the thread, but it still doesn't  seem to
work. for goodness sake, I just want to do some light mending such as sew a
seam or secure a button.
Any tips.

   Now on to our update. My little guy is now 2yo. I am testing the waters
of potty training, but not getting too serious about it yet. In November, we
all went to Pakistan to see grandparents. It was interesting and the baby
had a wonderful time, but we are glad to be back. We spent seven weeks in
PK. My oldest and only daughter will be having her first in July, so I am
slated to be a grandmother soon. In my husband's culture, the father's
mother is called "naani ama." I think I'll be a "naani," (not to be confused
with the word "nanny,"
for a while). the baby will have so many grandmothers, that I wanted a short
way of distinguishing myself.

Well, Thanks for the help, in advance.

Peace,
Jan
