[lace-chat] secret pal thanks

2006-03-09 Thread Micki
To my secret a big thank you for the exquisite bobbin - such craftsmanship 
and a choice of unusual woods, it will be a pleasure to use, thank you.  I 
bulk buy beech midland bobbins from Tim Parker, so my commemorative bobbins 
(from lace weekends) and the bobbins I have received in a swap from 
Jeannette Fischer (south africa) glow in their beauty nestling amongst their 
less adorned brethren and your bobbins from last month and this 
month will join the other beauties.

To my secret Pal thank you for the parcel which arrived on Wednesday, 
sorry
I did not get to send the message but I had to get ready for big craft show
we have, I was demonstrating all day yesterday so was rather tired by the
time I got home. Then we are demonstating again on Saturday for the day.
The note pad will be very handy, the bobbins are beautiful so nice to touch,
and I will try the tea.Hope things are not getting you down having moved so
many times, wqe vowed never again, lucky we are close to the grandchildren
now. Now our idea of a move is to load the caravan and take off for a while.

[lace-chat] Old Folks

2006-03-09 Thread Carol Melton
HI Tamara,  Well,  here's my offering for Chat tonight.  They were  
new to me, I hope new to others.   Now to go back to my s'Gravenmoer  
and the 3rd chevron...


A little old lady was running up and down the halls in a nursing  
home. As she walked, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and  
say, "Supersex" She walked up to an elderly man in a wheelchair.  
Flipping her gown at him, she said, "Supersex." He sat silently for a  
moment or two and finally answered, "I'll take the soup."



An elderly Floridian called 911 on her cell phone to report that her  
car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her  
situation to the dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering  
wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she cried.

The dispatcher say, "Stay calm, Maam, an officer is on the way."

A few minutes later, the officer radios in.

"Disregard.", He says. "She got in the back-seat by mistake."

2006-03-09 Thread Tamara P Duvall
Just when we think we know it all, and there's nothing left to discover 
that's bigger than a microbe... :)


Is anyone else gonna write to chat tonight, or am I left to fill the 
whole digest by myself?



From: P.B.


PARIS - A team of American-led divers has discovered a new crustacean 
in the
South Pacific that resembles a lobster and is covered with what looks 
like

silky, blond fur, French researchers said Tuesday.

From: R.P.


"More problems for Hillary Clinton. The head of New York state's 
leading gay rights group describes Hillary Clinton as a disappointment 
on same sex marriage.

Today, her husband Bill described her as a disappointment on
opposite sex marriage." --Jay Leno

"Did you know the winner of this year's best foreign language film
got an Oscar and one of our seaports?" --Jay Leno

Presidential Library. $300 million. That's almost $150 million per
book." --Jay Leno

"Hillary Clinton now says she didn't know her husband was giving Dubai
advice on the port deal while she was ruling against it. Hillary
not knowing what her husband was doing, is that the first time
this has happened?" --Jay Leno

"I'm sure you have heard by now, Bill Clinton is
looking for 25 interns to work at his library. I was thinking
about that, could you fit 25 interns in his library?
Clinton says that anyone he hires must be good on the computer,
good on the coffee table, good on top of the copy machine." --Jay Leno

"The Oscars were
seen in over 100 countries, two of which don't hate us." --Jay Leno

"George Clooney won for Syriana, which was about the CIA and what
people will do for oil. Or as Dick Cheney calls
it, a love story." --Jay Leno

[lace-chat] THE BIRTH ORDER OF CHILDREN

2006-03-09 Thread Margery Allcock
Your Clothes: 
1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN
confirms your pregnancy. 
2nd baby : You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible. 
3rd baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your regular clothes. 

Preparing for the Birth: 
1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously. 
2nd baby: You don't bother because you remember that last time, breathing
didn't do a thing. 
3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your eighth month. 

The Layette: 
1st baby: You pre-wash newborn's clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold
them neatly in the baby's little bureau. 
2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only
the ones with the darkest stains 
3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they? 

Worries: 
1st baby: At the first sign of distress--a whimper, a frown--you pick up the
baby. 
2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your
firstborn. 
3rd baby: You teach your three-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing. 

Pacifier: 
1st baby: If the pacifier falls on the floor, you put it away until you can
go home and wash and boil it. 
2nd baby: When the pacifier falls on the floor, you squirt it off with some
juice from the baby's bottle. 
3rd baby: You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in. 

Diapering: 
1st baby: You change your baby's diapers every hour, whether they need it or
not.

about the smell or you see it sagging to their knees. 

Activities: 
1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby
Story Hour. 
2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics. 
3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.

five times. 
2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number
where you can be reached. 
3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees
blood. 

At Home: 
1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby. 
2nd baby: You spend a bit of everyday watching to be sure your older child
isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
