WOW, I think I just got turned on a little. OK back to the claw machine, my ex and I when we were dating used to hit every claw machine in the city on Friday nights. We'd drink some Long Island Teas and go scouting. My room was filled with those damn stuffed animals for years. You develop sort of a sense after going to so many. We laughed about spending so much when we could go buy them cheaper but it was the sport. As for my other addictions, cheesecake, dancing, wine and a man that can kiss my mouth and leave me begging for more. Can I say that on here?Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11464703169192344809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-7884734982739966252012-04-27T10:23:36.129-06:002012-04-27T10:23:36.129-06:00Fabric Stores.

I must touch the fabric, and hold the fabric and look at the fabric and think about dresses and talk about things I can make with it. <br /><br />I have to go through the piles of clearance fabric and buy some and go home and stash it like a squirrel with nuts for the winter and sew things, and make things. <br /><br />Dresses, aprons, children clothes, stuff. Civil war dresses, victorian dresses, party dresses. <br /><br />Oh you asked my addiction sorry I got distracted.

Every now and then, you can push a toy into the prize hole before actually grabbing at something.<br /><br />If the timer gives you 20-30 seconds, use all of it. Position the claw at the heaviest part of the prize to make sure the claw is balanced. They jostle and jerk a lot (on purpose) so it needs to be tight to keep it secure.<br /><br />Lastly, the claw is designed to stop when it feels a certain amount of resistance. If you hit the toy square-on, it's going to stop when it hits the toy. If you're slightly off, the claw will slightly slide off, and keep dropping. This is like hitting the sweet spot, because the claw will get a little under the toy. It lifts a little before the grabbing mechanism kicks in, so that extra slack will make sure it grabs that prize the way you want it.<br /><br />And, of course, practice practice practice.... :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993699573170596587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-68287456737479852872012-04-27T08:25:17.614-06:002012-04-27T08:25:17.614-06:00HHHHHHHMMMMMMMM, I'm wondering if we could be ...HHHHHHHMMMMMMMM, I'm wondering if we could be kin.

He'd had a few beers one evening while on holiday and fed the machine at least £10 before he eventually came away with a stuffed white tiger. He was jubliant at his eventual success so went back and spent another £12 and came away with a brown tiger. He was hiccupping and giddy with success and I've had to endure the tigers sitting in my bedroom ever since!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018387289740848218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-80422305554160659192012-04-27T06:36:02.904-06:002012-04-27T06:36:02.904-06:00Teach me your greatness oh wise claw master.
