So my children are learning how to sew so consequently I am cross-eyed from threading those blasted needles, in this day and age, surely there is a better way (and don't say a sewing machine)

  If you don't have one then use a magnifying glass.

  Huh ... so that's how you use a needle threader. Never bothered to find out (in part because I never thought about it).

  But something tells me it's unlikely a mother of a growing kid wouldn't be knowing about it already
  
  The motive is really to promote the blog methinks

I read somewhere
- when a woman poses a problem, she is not looking for a solution. She needs this:

"Oh you poor dear. I know your pain. I totally do. I love you"

- and when a man poses his questions, he needs the answers as above

:-) nice for a discussion, eh

it's not that hard to do.

Lick the end of the thread, and stick it through

  That's a great piece of universal advice.
