Dear Ann: Welcome to the group. Actually, there is a solution for you on starting Bucks Point: just buy another pillow. Some laces and their time on the pillow aren't measured by inches or hours, but by yearly birthdays. Linda Sheff - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Moving this over to chat because it's not really lace-related. A couple Arachnes have asked how things are over here. Personally, I'm in a fortunate situation because my husband is too old and my son is too young for the army. We live out of missile range of Lebanon and Gaza. But I just heard
