Hi!

Does anyone happen to be looking for a roommate or know someone who is?  I thought it might be cool to live with someone who I had something in common with at least :-)  I'm basically looking anywhere in the DC area as far south as Arlington/Alexandria or as far north as Columbia/Glen Burnie.

Hey ladies...

I've been wanting to make crab cakes lately (i'm originally a Maryland girl and planning to move back soon!) but I've never made them before and want something that I know will turn out good because I'd like to surprise my bf with a romantic dinner    Also, what goes well with them?

Thank you bunches!

I just bought a Singer 1725 machine on Craigslist (I know nothing about sewing but wanted to teach myself)

I can't thread it!  Step 7 in the instructions mentions a take-up lever... uh, is mine missing... or?

I hope i didn't get ripped off, I'm so stupid... 

Here's a pic:
