I am wondering if these messages from Alice Howell asking the list, as though a single person, to buy a gift card are evidence that she has been hacked. I am not sure how to ask her because the email address is actually the email address I have for her. Devon - To unsubscribe send email to

It definitely seems like an email from a hacked account. I would hesitate to actually purchase the gift card without speaking with her directly! Best, Elena - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to

Gil, I have a couple of narrow lace edgings from Sri Lanka which my mother acquired there probably sometime in the 1970s. I think I also have an illustration of Sri Lankan bobbins and/or lacemakers in one of my older books about lacemaking. I’ll look them out and send you pics and details when

Oh, that and so much more. Thank goodness we are not all as innocent as we used to be! Instead, we ask questions like: - why is Alice trying to get me to buy a gift card at 5:42 a.m. Pacific time? - Alice has a full life and many friends. Why would she need me to buy a gift card for her? - Even

My guess is that Alice’s request for help buying a gift card for her “nephew” is totally bogus, since she (and I) are well beyond the age of having game-playing nephews! OUR nephews (if any) are CEOs and professionals! Sent from my iPad > On Jan 16, 2019, at 11:13 AM, Devon Thein wrote:

Hello all, like Susan (and I suppose many more) I wasn’t aware that cost for hosting the pics was carried by a single member. Thank you, Clay. I guess you had first offers of reimbursement and I would add mine to that. I just need to know who is able and willing to collect. If I give five

Wondering, from those of you more computer-crime-savvy than I am - Usually, these emails would have a link included, and the link would take you to some website that looks like Gamestop (whatever that is) and if you were foolish enough to buy a gift card they would then harvest your name and
