(imagine me using the voices of the little Pixie guys from Willow when they shouted "I stole a baby!")
I was just at Erin's Department Store, aka the building where we put the trash and recyclables at my apartment complex. As Ze Queen of Ze Dumpster Diving, I always keep an eye out for anything interesting my neighbors might have pitched. I saw a *very familiar* carrying case and opened it to find a Bernina 730 - the exact same machine as mine! Wow! I didn't even wait until the cover of darkness to lug it back to my apartment. I haven't plugged it in yet to see if it works or not but, even if it doesn't, I can always salvage parts from it.
And to think that I was aggravated when I went out!!! :-)
