Love the poem Noelene, That's what I always say about lace making ... being
a Gemini I easily get bored with crafts once I have mastered them but after
25 years I am still learning bobbin lace of one sort or another, hence not
had time to get bored yet.  Maybe in another 25 years ???

Hi Arachnids,

 I so agree with Sue on both sentiment. Firstly, I loved your poem Noelene. 
Secondly, as another Gemini, I have been making lace for more years than I 
care to remember and have not yet stopped learning. Long live lace


Happy lacemaking,

[lace-chat] Bit risque :-)

2012-04-17 Thread Jean Nathan

On his 74th birthday, a man got a gift certificate from his wife.

The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby 
reservation who was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile 
dysfunction.


After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed his certificate 
to the medicine man and wondered what he was in for.


The old man handed a potion to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, he 
warned, This is a powerful medicine. You take only a teaspoonful and then 
say '1-2-3.' 


When you do, you will become more potent than you have ever been in your 
life and you can perform as long as you want.


The man was encouraged. As he walked away, he turned and asked, How do I 
stop the medicine from working?


Your partner must say '1-2-3-4,' he responded, but when she does, the 
medicine will not work again until the next full moon.


He was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, 
took a spoonful of the medicine and then invited his wife to join him in the 
bedroom. When she came in, he took off his clothes and said,  1-2-3! 
Immediately, he was the manliest of men.


His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes and then she asked 
What was the 1-2-3 for


And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a 
preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.
