I've heard the new reports about cross word puzzles keeping the brain active, and how important learning new things is for keeping dementia of age and alzheimers at bay. From the very first time I heard those things I thought that the news reporters and doctors had no idea what they were missing. Those poor fools have no idea. Lace making of any kind involves more brain activity than crossword puzzles, it seems to me.
I had a friend who was a pharmacist and who made marvelous embroideries. She took something to work to do on her lunch hour. And her boss told her he didn't want to see any of that at work. It made the whole pharmacy look bad, he said. Apparently he thought only mindless idiots did embroidery or lace making, and that if customers saw her doing embroidery they would not trust her to fill their prescriptions. The world is full of idiots. Lorelei - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected].
