Just had to reply to this one. I recently finished a garter, (one of Bridget Cooks) for a dear friends daughter's wedding. Her dress was candlelight which is a bit like ivory. The only thread I had in that color was a fine cotton, and the only gimp a sample spool of surgeon's silk. It turned

Hi, Before you read the following, a warning. I'm still pretty upset, so this will sound like an upset person speaking. A little while ago, someone from BC complained that Canadian news focuses on the east. This had to do with the reporting of the power outage and the BC fires. Well, have I

There was a wonderful (apparently true) story on our local radio station this morning. An Australian farmer was hit on the head by a falling branch during a storm. He received severe head injuries. The alarm was raised at his farmhouse by a kangaroo that the family had adopted. It was blind in

I have to be honest, I've never heard of the Gatineaus, but then I don't suppose a lot of people had heard of Poole or Dorset until four of us joined Arachne. I've heard of Ottawa. The one time I cried was when I'd struggled in to work through knee high snow - it had taken me two hours instead of

Hi all, Well, I think Skippy made it to my news program too. There was a promo on with a kangaroo and a fallen tree in the background. I can't imagine there are two stories like that out there! How ironic that Skippy the life saving kangaroo makes news all over the globe and Lise-Aurore loses

Yes, it's true!! Of course, the family concerned thinks it was a deliberate act of kindness and concern on the part of the kangaroo. A wild-life expert has a more mundane explanation: that the kangaroo was used to following whoever left the back door of the house for food...and probably had

Carol, I suggest you take a leaf out of my daughter's book. She was about 18, and I was nagging her about the state her room, and telling her to put some things away. Her reply: But Mum, if I put things away, I can't find them!! Ruth Budge (Sydney, Australia) Carol Adkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi all, The news interview I saw reported the people who cared for the kangaroo said that the kangaroo sat beside the man and called for help, not banged on the door. They looked out to see why he was calling out and saw the tree down and the guy pinned down. Cheers, Yvonne - Original Message
