Dear Friends, (The list is quiet, so...here is a problem. Reply to Liz and me, please.)
Liz L. (Australia) and I (USA) have conducted a test. She is using Windows 10 and I am on Windows 7 (the senior center computer guru insisted I stay with Windows 7 until Microsoft corrects issues like this). The problem of garbled messages has been happening all too long, and Liz needs a simple solution. Liz sent the message below my signature to me yesterday, full of extra characters. It was so charming I cleaned it up, removing all the extra characters her software inserted, so a copy could go into Pond's book. Personal memories tucked in old lace books are a delightful bonus to the next owner. The cleaned up version of our personal correspondence was sent back to Liz from my Windows 7. She cut and pasted that clean version to send to Arachne. And, it came through Arachne this morning with all the garbage that her Windows 10 adds. Are Windows 7 and Windows 10 incompatible? Is some of this because of the way we seniors learned to type? For example: Software should not stumble whether there are one or two spaces at ends of sentences. I used both ways. Windows 7 does not mind, but Windows 10? Please let the two of us know if re-sending via my Windows 7 is easier to read at your end. Only a couple replies, please - one from each different software will suffice. Avital is correct; this sort of thing is not lace-related. If someone knows how to help Liz, please write to her - privately. Not in high tech language, please. Just a numbered list of what she should do, step-by-step.

I always spoke to her. She was a lovely lady, so generous with her knowledge, and it was always nice to chat with her. Anyway, this one time she looked me up and down, in the way only âUpper class English â can do. She said, âI did not recognise you. You are not wearing any lace!â Well, that was a Big reprimand! Next Lace Day, I draped myself in heaps of lace, went to speak to her, and again I got the up and down look, then a glimmer of a smile, and âI recognise you today, Liz. You are wearing some lace!â Everyone had a good laugh. Now I try to always wear lace at a Lace Day - well, she might be looking down at us!! I like wearing lace. I made it, and like to Flaunt it!! I have been known to wear little doilies folded, and pinned to a neckline. I was told I had such a pretty jabot one time â it was 3 little doilies folded, and pinned down the front of a blouse, each one overlapping the lower one so it looked like a jabot. I have a hankie âfallingâ out of a pocket. It is always safety-pinned on the inside of the pocket, so it can not go missing. I have not tried that on an outside purse pocket meant for a cell phone, though that is a good idea. I have 3 prs of Needlelace Earrings that I wear. Must make some tatted ones, too!
