[lace-chat] Numbering houses

Hi All, This has turned into an interesting thread. Thanks Annette for the info. on numbering buildings in London. Very curious G. My brother once lived at 24-1/2 on some street. That was done instead of adding an a. There used to be halves in Brattleboro too, before 911. I agree about the

[lace-chat] Roads/blocks

Hi All, In Brattleboro we used to have street numbers like Tamara. Then Vermont got Enhanced 911. Now if there is an emergency we can dial 911 for help, just like in big cities. However, that meant everyone got a new street number. Now the street numbers are how many feet (yards?) times 10

[lace-chat] Re: Bush's visit

Hi All, In Newsweek (weekly news magazine) they say the open carriage ride was cancelled because of concerns by the White House and an address to Parliament will not happen because (according to the magazine) Bristish officials don't want Bush exposed to heckling lawmakers. I think politicians

[lace-chat] Astronomy quilt

Hi All, This was originally on lace but I'll send it to chat until I see if there is more lacy content in the quilt. It was first shown as the Astronomy Picture of the Day on October 17th. I sent an e-mail to the quilter and here is part of what she wrote back: -Original Message- If you

Re: [lace-chat] Sweet tooth?

Thanks for the website Jean. YUM!! I love every thing marshmallow and I have never see Jumbo Shrimp in marshmallow G. I'm almost tempted to order some. And gummy alphabet letters are also very tempting. You could really have fun decorating a cake with some of these sweet treats! I've never

[lace-chat] Fw: Blonde's Jokes : )

Hi All, DH sent me these and I've not seen them before. It's hard to get any jokes before Tamara does! Jane in Vermont [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- A blonde with two red ears went to her doctor. The doctor asked her what had happened to her ears and she answered, I was ironing a

Hi All, DH sent me some grafitti from bathroom walls and here are some we haven't seen before G. Jane in Vermont [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- If voting could really change things it would be illegal. Revolution Books, New York,

[lace-chat] Re: Skippy

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

[lace-chat] Andy Rooney

Hi Jean and All, Andy Rooney is a television essayist if there is such a thing G. He gives a little talk at the end of 60 Minutes (long running, well respected news show). He's a curmudgeon (spell check says I got that right) but has some interesting comments. He is on prime time viewing time

[lace-chat] Suggestions for linens in 1949

Hi All, I got a neat booklet at a used book sale a few weeks ago. It was printed in 1949 and intended for brides. The part on A Modern Hope Chest is quite interesting. Here are the linens every woman should have in her hope chest: 1 very large tablecloth and 2 dozen matching Damask napkins.

Re: [lace-chat] forest fires

Hi All, DH is the one that watches the news, usually CNN. I'll have to ask him if he's seen anything about the fires in BC. However I saw that my local paper had a picture from Kelowna with a caption about the fires. My local paper usually gets their headlines from The Rutland Herald which is

[lace-chat] Lace that lights up - was Light Pollution

Hi All, Actually I want to send this to lace too because I'd love to see somebody make lace from this stuff G. DH has customized his computer a bit and some of the pieces are from www.beingseen.com They make sheets (paper size) and threads that light up. The whole thing lights up and it does

[lace-chat] Reading by candlelight

Hi All, That made me think of a recent dinner where I did read by candlelight. I recently visited my parents on the west coast of the US (sorry I didn't get to see any Oregon arachnes!). DH stayed home so I got to dine by myself when I stayed in a hotel over night (early flight). I chose the

[lace-chat] Re: Bookcrossing

Hi All, This website was brought to my attention a week or so before it appeared here. It does appear that the same website works for all countries (or however many take part). What an intriguing idea! Since we've been talking about it maybe I'll take part too. There are so many books to

[lace-chat] Where is everybody?

Hi All, Is it me or is it the whole list? I'm in Southern Vermont so we did not lose power during the big blackout. I know we have talkative chatters in other areas but I had no lace or chat in my mailbox just now : ( My server is in Vermont but not in the far north of the state where they did

Hi All and Welcome back Tamara and all IOLI Conventioneers!! We have managed to keep up the level of e-mails while you've been gone. Out of curiousity I went to the website below - it says that it's under construction! Do you think they don't know what it says? Speaking of that I don't know

[lace-chat] Re: E-mail from a beaten bidder on eBay

Hi All, I was interested to read this note from Jean. I think you outbid a sore loser that's all. Somebody who doesn't know they should hold on to their nasty letter for a day and re-read it before deleting it! I can relate to the sentiment though. I bid on things because I want them, not to

[lace-chat] Kiwi fruit

Hi All, We had a chat some time ago about Kiwi fruit but now I've forgotten a very important part of it. We have a vine in our back yard and it is covered with kiwis. These are the smaller ones than the ones we find in the grocery store - they're about the size of the end of DHs thumb.

[lace-chat] Special festivals

Hi All, We had a wonderful 4th of July parade this morning. It's always fun seeing friends and family in it. And I do love the marching bands G. And anybody can join in so there are some odd groups sometimes. The people who run the land fill (dump) usually join in. A few years ago the float

[lace-chat] Women astronauts

Hi All, At the risk of raising Toni's blood pressure I want to tell you about something I read. This weeks People magazine has an article on women who were in the astronaut program in the 1960s! I've never heard about this before though there are two books coming out this summer about them - The

[lace-chat] Harry Potter

Hi All, I think I figured this out but thought I'd better check with the experts G. One character in the new Harry Potter is wearing an Alice band in her hair. I take that to be a headband to hold her hair back. And named after Alice in Wonderland? Jane in Vermont, USA where it's too hot in
