Grumpy Muppets


While I was waiting at the eye Doctor today, I sat across from the two grumpiest people on the planet. They were complaining about everything. I know I'm not supposed to eavesdrop, but I couldn't help it, they had never learned about Inside Voices.
Should I have spoken up? Told them they were intolerant old geezers, and not everyone felt as they did? Or just memorized everything they said to repeat to Mr. Hunting Creek later (which is what I did.)
What would you do?

'Tis a gift to be simple

Would it be churlish of me to say that I really dislike, nay, HATE is not too strong a word; I hate Simplicity's new website. The way the patterns are displayed is counter intuitive. The What's New section has everything all mixed together regardless of category, so I have to wade through the costumes and kid clothes to see the new women's clothes. And what happened to the line drawings? I used to display the line drawings and the back of the envelopes to decide if I wanted a pattern or not. Now I can't find those - if they are even still there they are well hidden.
Also the website is clunky, and it has so much going on it takes forever to move on to next thing. I used to like looking through the old site and deciding what new patterns I needed. It was quick and easy! SIGH - I liked the way it was before!
What say you, fellow sewistas? Do you like the new website? Or do we have to go back to looking at the books of patterns in the fabric store?
