    They allow a larger item selection to get a MIL discount than a teacher's discount so take it for what it's worth :laughing:

    But was it the older lady who's just being obliviously friendly or was it the younger lady who's definitely on to you?

    I wasn't in the military though :( however I can get a teacher's discount cuz I have College employee credentials.

    Younger dude that was definitely onto me. To be fair I think a lot of people go there for that in my age range at least compared to other age ranges

    Last time I went to the JoAnn here the (older) lady I talked to was just stoked to see a guy with any interest in sewing. I think I was just buying sewing machine needles and thread, nothing remotely sus. I wonder how many people here have shopping lists like yours--I'd guess a fair number.

    Is it a cool machine?

    I don't actually know much about sewing machines. Mine's an old Kenmore that was made in "Western Germany". Looks like this. Very brown.

    Friend of mine (in this forum) actually collects and restores them

    Shall remain unnamed :rofl:

    But if it's vintage, let me know and I'll ask him for something if you're needing any specific parts

    Damn, this house caught fire on the second story back in December, apparently a plumbing company was doing work and accidentally messed with some wiring in the walls and started the fire. Fire dept came and doused it pretty quick but looks like they are gutting it to repair the damage
