[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks
Sorry for the delay in thanking you for this months package. Our phone was off line and B.T. wont fix it over the weekend unless you are a doctor or similar. I love the angel mat and have put it by my bed with a photo of my mum on it. The angel magnet is now on the fridge ( the first angel to land there). Washington Island looks very interesting with so much to do and see. I love the old church on the card and can see why you would want to spend time there. The Handkerchief is so pretty and delicate. I like to have a proper hankie instead of tissues, unless I have a cold! Thank you also for the bobbin, I did not see them at the convention and I didn't work out who you were. The only clue I think was, some one said hello as I was getting in the lift but I didn't see who. I would like to thank you for the lovely gifts I recieved there, basket, cat dish. chop sticks, fan etc. You are a much travelled crafts person and I am nowhere near guessing who you are. Thank you again and best wishes Josie To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] :-) Advice from Bob - we might have had this before
> Advice >From Bob, About Women's Housekeeping >Dear Friends, > > It is important for men to remember that as women grow older it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as they did when they were younger. When men notice this, they should try not to yell. Let me relate how I handle the situation. When I got laid off from my consulting job and took "early retirement" in March, it became necessary for Susan to get a full-time job, both for the extra income and for the health benefits that we need. > > It was shortly after she started working that I noticed that she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from fishing and hunting about the same time that she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says that she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts supper. I try not to yell, instead I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she finally does get supper on the table. She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. It is now not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after supper. I do what I can by reminding her several times each evening that they aren't cleaning themselves. I know she appreciates this, as it does seem to help her get them done before she goes to bed. Now that she is older, she seems to get tired so much more quickly. > > Our washer and dryer are in the basement. Sometimes she says she just can't make another trip down those steps. I don't make a big issue of this. As long as she finishes up the laundry the next evening, I am willing to overlook it. Not only that, but unless I need something ironed to wear to the Monday lodge meeting or to Wednesday's or Saturday's poker game club or Tuesday's or Thursday's bowling or something like that, I will tell her to wait until the next evening to do the ironing. This gives her a little more time to do some of the odds and ends things like shampooing the dog, vacuuming or dusting. Also, if I have a really good day of fishing, this allows her to gut and scale the fish at a more leisurely pace. > > Susan is starting to complain a little occasionally. For example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills on her lunch hour. In spite of her complaining, I continue to offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or three days. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then won't hurt her any, if you know what I mean. > > When doing simple jobs she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I try not to embarrass her when she needs these little rest breaks. I tell her to fix a big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and sit for a while. I tell her that as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me and take her break by the hammock so she can talk with me until I fall asleep. > > I know that I probably look like a Saint in the way that I support Susan on a daily basis. I'm not saying that the ability to show this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible. No one knows better than I do how frustrating women can become as they get older. However, guys, even if you just yell at your wife a little less often because of this article, I will consider that writing it was worthwhile. > >Signed, >Bob Jean in Poole To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] Hope this doesn't offend anyone
I can laugh at jokes about any group, ethnic religious, blonde or anything else without being disrespectful because I'm not a racist or against any religions, hair colour, type of dress (although I am concerned about teenage girls exposing all), etc. I judge each person when I meet or correspond with them, and don't have any preconceived ideas. I moved from on top of the Blackdown Hills in Somerset to Poole. Amongst the farming natives in Somerset there were only two surnames, and there was a clear distinction in "class" (although I don't like that word) between the two. Personally I liked the ones who hadn't brought outside blood into their marriages - their outlook on life seemed to be governed by the countryside and not by outside influences.
