Re: [lace] American Arachnids, How will you spend October 1?
Ha ha! I wasn't anticipating it being that bad, but perhaps I should rethink any plans to be out and about on that day! I guess it could shut down the Internet if people sign up online. It could cause the servers to crash!

Re: [lace] American Arachnids, How will you spend October 1?
The House voted along party lines to delay the Affordable Health Care Act by a year (ie, Republicans have the majority, so it passed). Senate majority leader has already stated that he will strip the funding bill of ALL amendments and let it go through that way. Freakin' politics. They are playing with people's LIVES - I personally know too many people who would be extremely negatively affected should the government be shut down on Oct 1. Heck, as my husband is a contractor on a US Military Base, WE could have been extremely negatively effective, but his job is "mission critical," so they can't stop paying him. Ob Lace: On October 1, I will most likely be taking my mother in law to different furniture shops, and may be able to do some needle lace while she's looking around. Depends on how much she wants to be pushed around in her wheelchair, or if the salespeople bring things to her to see. Bronwen, in sunny Colorado Springs, where there are at least 4 military bases...

As far as I can tell, the shut down of the government is still scheduled for National Lace Day. I am no conspiracy theorist, but... is there an anti-lace plot? Maybe conspiracy of quilters and rug hookers? Possibly FIMO and Salsa dancers as fellow travelers? Has anyone checked out the political activities of the cake decorators?
