[lace-chat] :) Fwd: The Drunk Game...
OK, so I had no luck with this at all; I think 9 meters was my top score... Not being able to see the arrow is crippling in trying to keep the guy upright :) But it's fun all the same... From: C.B. I http://www.wagenschenke.ch/index2.htm Try and see how far you can keep the drunk man up. Good Luck! Just move your mouse left to right (no clicking) to keep him walking in a straight line. The object of the game is to keep him walking, without falling over, by using your mouse from left to right or right to left - you can't see your mouse which makes it more difficult. Apparently the record is 82 meters! -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] the French (tongue in cheek)(lace-chat)

You talk to someone and they say "I've been to France" and they really mean "I've visited Paris", or they say "French people are rude", and they've only ever been to Paristhis is just one other example, isn't it? Now tell me, how many books about "naughty French" has anyone read that didn't come from or was set in Paris? none, I bet :-) Helene, the virtuous French froggy who doesn't come from Paris :-) with apologies to Dominique, who I'm sure doesn't come from Paris either, do you, Dominique?...

[lace-chat] I missed you!
Hi All, After a blessedly brief (two day) hiatus I'm back. I don't know what happened. No chat and no lace for two days : ( Avital sent me digests of what I missed and today I seem to be getting arachne mail! But Bev and Anne Toney in Texas also had trouble. I missed you all terribly but I did get some lace made . I also have been working on a Kumihimo (Japanese) braid with the new gadget I got on the trip to Northampton, Massacusetts with Sumac. Before her fabulous "shopping" trip in the record store (sorry, CD store) we went to a great yarn store. I got some wonderful yarn and we also both got Kumihimo circles with notches in them. I made the practice piece - 16 threads, 4 colors winding around the cord and then started a new one. Unfortunately I chose DMC #80 tatting cotton. It was the best color choice right to hand. It's making a beautiful cord but a bit thin. I'll go searching later, I know I have lots of silk buttonhole twist and I think that would be beautiful!! And I seem to remember I have some spools of Pearl cotton that I was given a long time ago. I have lots of white and ecru Pearl Cotton for B'berg but I want color!! Sumac taught our Fiberarts Group Kumihimo a few years ago at Christmas time. She brought us all squares of matboard with notches. That works wonderfully but I think I put it away safely and I'm not sure where it is : ( Her prize winning run through the store was great fun. It was fun to see how the radio guys worked too. We (including the other customers) had to keep yelling every time they did a promo to stir up interest. They did that a few times and it gave Sumac a chance to look over the inventory again. She did wonderfully and crammed the canvas bag she was given full!! What fun . Jane in Vermont, USA where it's below freezing again.

[lace-chat] The Hallams, visiting New Zealand...
Pat and David Hallam called in at the Library yesterday, en route to Franz Josef Glacier. They arrived just after a very heavy rainstorm, and 'bedraggled' was a good description (Pat told me she had had her hair washed three times yesterday, and only one was intended!)... She was wearing a wonderful sweatshirt, with a printed lace bobbin design, so I recognised her immediately. It was really exciting when Pat produced an enormous number of bobbins! I have never seen so many beautiful painted and figured bobbins before, and choosing some to buy was very difficult.Pat took a photo of me, and my assistant (Jan Blanchet, whose name any quilters among you might recognise), examining all the bobbins on the Library circulation desk, and David took one of us all. I was sorry that they weren't able to stay in town a little longer - perhaps next time? - but Pat is taking back some little souvenirs of Westland... and there is 'a little something' for Bethany to look forward to, as well!

Re: [lace-chat] :-) New wine
i don't exactly know but it has something to with oak .. they like the particular taste wine gets after staying in oak barels .. even when it's not supposed to . i think wine makers even have the right now to put oak shavings to get the taste faster which is anathema to specialists . all wine don't need that oak flavour .. Actually what we call american tastes are Robert Parker tastes you know that well known wine critic .. dominique who's not a specialist . i like beer better than wine shame on me !! though some white wines could make me change my mind .

[lace-chat] jokes
Some of these have been around before, but they're fun anyway.
16 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN by Dave Barry
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on
the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has
not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be
"meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
{does this apply to lacemaking? }
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want
you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling
reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests
that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging
from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a
big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
{ I don't agree with this one, I've been trying to get DH to get me a
present for each year of my life..would've had 59 this year..I like
presents. Think of the benefits. It would make having another birthday and
getting older more exciting. Buying all those presents would have to boost
the economy etc. :)}
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender,
religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside,
we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
{well, I am, so there. :) }
13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice
person (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails).
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built
the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
16. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine.. They start out as grapes,
and it's up to the women to stomp the heck out of them until they turn into
something acceptable with which to have dinner.
{or, as my mother used to say, "it's like getting a block of granite and a
rusty spoon, and you've got to make something out of it" }
