Hi Alice and Arachnids,

Had not really thought about doing a jigsaw on the computer, thoroughly 
enjoyed doing your jigsaw; but... it stopped me doing my lace! It is 
also nice to see your photograph. By the way, there is a picture at the top 
right of the jigsaw when you click on the little square symbol there.


The Seven Sisters Lace Society also has a  2nd hand sales table on their 
annual special Lace Day (Seaford, East Sussex, 13th May, 2012) as well as a 
lace competition -The Olympics this year, what else?-. The sales table 
carries lace surplus from any lace-maker, marked with the price that 
lace-maker wants for it. The society retains 25% of all items sold for club 
funds to keep the fees down so it benefits everyone to some extent.


Happy lace making,

Joepie, East Sussex, UK

On another subject, our regional lace group has started having a spring 
event call Spring Housecleaning Swap Day.  We gather to make lace and trade 
or give away the excess lace supplies we no longer need.  it's just a good 
excuse to spend the whole day having fun.  And a good chance for beginners 
to pick up some thread, tools, or books.. and sometimes even a pillow.

Thank you Alice  , I just popped upstairs to do something very quickly on 
the computer and have just spent the last 1-1/2hrs doing your crossword 
(perhaps I will get quicker) now I have to rush down to get dinner ready before 
DH asks what's for dinner?

[lace-chat] Fw: men's helpline

2012-03-09 Thread Janice Blair
Letter to a men's helpline... 

Hi Bob,

I really need your advice on a serious problem:
I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.

The usual signs: if the phone rings and I answer, the caller hangs up; she goes 
out with the girls a lot.

I try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home but I usually fall 
asleep.

Anyway last night, about midnight, I hid in the shed behind the boat.
When she came home she got out of someone's car buttoning her blouse, then she 
took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on.
It was at that moment, crouched behind the boat, that I noticed a hairline 
crack 
in the outboard engine mounting bracket.

Is that something I can weld or do I need to replace the whole bracket?
