[lace-chat] :) Fwd: When Mom gets sick
I've not responded to the "make a woman happy" message on chat, much as I've wanted to - not enough time... But, in a way, I don't need to; this should be enough of a refutation :) From: R.P. Notes from a man trying to make Mom's life easier while she is sick in bed... Monday A.M. Dearest: Sleep late. Everything under control. Lunches packed. Kids off to school. Menu for dinner planned. Your lunch is on a tray in refrigerator: fruit-cup, finger-sandwiches. Thermos of hot tea by bedside. See you around six. Tuesday A.M. Honey: Sorry about the egg rack in the refrigerator. Hope you got back to sleep. Did the kids tell you about the Coke I put in the thermoses? The school might call you on this. Dinner may be a little late. I'm doing your door-to-door canvas for liver research. Your lunch is in refrigerator. Hope you like leftover chili. Wednesday A.M. Dear Doris: Why in the name of all that is sane would you put soap powder in the flour canister! If you have time, could you please come up with a likely spot for Chris's missing shoes? We've checked the clothes hamper, garage, back seat of the car and wood box. Did you know the school has rules about bedroom slippers? There's some cold pizza for you in a napkin in the oven drawer. Will be late tonight. Driving eight Girl Scouts to tour meat-packing house. Thursday A.M. Doris: Don't panic over water in hallway. It crested last night at 9 P.M. Will finish laundry tonight. Please pencil in answers to following: 1. How do you turn on the garbage disposal? I thought it was automatic. Guess not. 2. How do you turn off the milkman? 3. Why would that rotten kid leave his shoes in his boots? 4. How do you remove a Confederate flag inked on the palm of a small boy's hand? 5. What do you do with leftovers when they begin to snap at you when you open the refrigerator door? I don't know what you're having for lunch! Surprise me! Friday A.M. Hey: Don't drink from pitcher by the sink. Am trying to restore pink dress shirt to original white. Take heart. Tonight, the ironing will be folded, house cleaned and dinner on time... I called your mother. -- 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] For Golfers
A golfer set up his ball on the first tee, took a mighty swing and hit his ball into a clump of trees. He found his ball and saw an opening between two trees he thought he could hit through. Taking out his 3-wood, he took another mighty swing; the ball hit a tree, bounced back, hit him in the forehead and killed him. As he approached the gates of Heaven, St. Peter saw him coming and asked "Are you a good golfer, to which the man replied: "Got here in two, didn't I?" >>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The bride came down the aisle and when she reached the altar, the groom was standing there with his golf bag and clubs at his side. She said: "What are your golf clubs doing here?" He looked her right in the eye and said, "This isn't going to take all day, is it?" >>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - An octogenarian, who was an avid golfer, moved to a new town and joined the local Country Club. He went to the Club for the first time to play, but was told that there wasn't anybody he could play with because they were already out on the course. He repeated several times that he really wanted to play today. Finally, the assistant Pro said he would play with him and asked him how many strokes he wanted for a bet. The 80-year-old said, "I really don't need any strokes as I have been playing quite well. The only real problem I have, is getting out of sand traps." And he did play well. Coming to the par four 18th, they were all even. The Pro had a nice drive and was able to get on the green and two-putt for a par. The old man had a nice drive, but his approach shot landed in a sand trap next to the green. Playing from the bunker he hit a high ball, which landed on the green and rolled into the cup. Birdie, match and all the money! The Pro walked over to the sand trap where his opponent was still standing in the trap. He said: "Nice shot, but I thought you said you have a problem getting out of sand traps?" Replied the octogenarian, "I do, would you please give me a hand?" >>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A woman goes to the local newspaper office to see that the obituary for her recently deceased husband is published. The obit editor informs her that there is a charge of 50 cents per word. She pauses, reflects, and then she says, "Well then, let it read, "Fred Brown died." Amused at the woman's thrift, the editor tells her that there is a seven-word minimum for all obituaries. She thinks it over and in a few seconds says, "In that case, let it read, "Fred Brown died: golf clubs for sale." >>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A 75-year-old woman went to the doctor for a check up. The doctor told her she needed more cardiovascular activity and recommended that she engage in sexual activity three times a week. A bit embarrassed, she said to the doctor, "Please tell my husband." The doctor went out into the waiting room and told the husband that his wife needed sex three times a week. The 78-year-old husband replied, "Which days?" The doctor answered, "Monday, Tuesday, and Friday would be ideal." The husband said, "That's fine. I can bring her on Monday, but on Tuesdays and Friday I golf, so she'll have to take the bus."

[lace-chat] FW: Dogs and Cats
As seen in a dog's diary: 8am - Oh Boy! Dog food! My favourite! 9am - Oh Boy! A car ride! My favourite... 10am - Oh Boy! A walk! My favourite! 11am - Oh Boy! A car ride! My favourite! Noon - Oh Boy! The kids! Yaaay great fun! 1pm - Oh Boy! The yard! My favourite! 3pm - Oh Boy! More kids! Excellent! 4pm - Oh Boy! Dog food! My favourite! 5pm - Oh Boy! Mum! Brilliant! 7pm - Oh Boy! Playing ball! My favourite! 9pm - Oh Boy! Sleeping in master's bed! Yippee! As seen in a cat's diary: Day 183 of my captivity... My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant. Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded - must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favourite chair - must try this on their bed. Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little Cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan. There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

[lace-chat] Monica Ferris book coming out
Hi All, I just got a "special notice" from Barnes & Noble that "Embroidered Truths" by Monica Ferris will be coming out in the US on June 28th! I gather that's a hardback. So far I have resisted buying the hardbacks but I'm having trouble finding out when "Crewel Yule" will be out in paperback : ( I searched B&N and Amazon a few weeks ago and couldn't find a date for the paperback. I guess that means I have to be PATIENT! Not a virtue of mine . For newbies, Monica Ferris writes wonderful mysteries and the detective is the owner of a needlework shop. The mysteries involve embroidery and other needlework and one had lace in it! They're very entertaining and the needlework shop angle is a lot of fun. Jane in Vermont, USA where the rain is making everything really green though it would be nice to appreciate it in the sunshine .

[lace-chat] secret pal thanks
Dear Secret Pal, Your parcel arrived last Thursday, which coincided with my Brithday so it made an extra surprise for the day. I was very pleased with all the contents - I'm always short of divider pins and the needle threader will be very useful. The pin cushions are really cute and the little bag will be useful for keeping thread in. I have just got back from a long weekend away so have only just been able to get to my computer to reply. Looking forward to finding out your identity next month Best wishesAndrea Want to get more out of e-mail? Then get Outlook Live!
