[lace-chat] RE:Disappearing Words
I must be Of that certain age as I remember most of these terms. However, I still use and hear some of them here in the South. store-bought. Sometimes we say sto' boughten; used it just the other day talking about making clothes for DD as she was so hard to fit (and Please) in sto' boughten ones. everyone replaces their wall-to-wall carpeting with hardwood floors. Am at he moment trying to get DH to consent replacing badly worn 25 year old carpet. The ol' man hates change. picture show, but I considered movie anaffectation. We said, movin' pi'ture show percolator. One can hardly even buy perk ground coffee. It is all drip ground - as for Mr. Coffee. lumbago this is now spinal stenosis ; slipped 4th lumbar disc; and other more specific conditions. I know, I am having experience with practically all of them !! supper. Now everybody says dinner. We still use Dinner for the main meal of the day, and lunch or supper for the other meal. i.e. most days we have lunch at mid-day and dinner in the evening. On Sunday, we have dinner at mid-day and supper in the evening. But you are correct. To avoid confusing as to when dinner is to be served, most people just use lunch and supper, unless it is a big formal dinner. But then, here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, there were in my memory, people still speaking Elizabethian English. In the 1950s, I had a student who had been raised back of the mountain by his grandmother and used phrases such as holp you tote yo poke (help you carry your paper sack) Louise in Central Virginia [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

percolator. One can hardly even buy perk ground coffee. It is all drip ground - as for Mr. Coffee. Does any one in the US use a coffee plunger or is that just an Australian abberation? supper. Now everybody says dinner. We still use Dinner for the main meal of the day, and lunch or supper for the other meal. DD1 said that the name for the evening meal is one thing that she keeps tripping over in Virginia. In Australia a lot of people use 'tea' as a replacement for 'supper'. I tried to teach my children 'dinner' but I was brought up to call it plain old 'tea'. Cheers, Yvonne.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal - again
Hello Secret Pal! I have just unwrapped my Bush Pen, and realised that the Koala can be unclipped from the pen and that the pen is real wood! The Koala is so cute - I am going to put him with the Wombat, and they can keep each other company. Thank you again!

Re: [lace-chat] Re: Red hat no .....
Dear Tamara, Yet another fascinating email - thanks. Auel, in her series of pre-historic (fictional) books may have struck many off notes, but she *has* done a lot of research and her idea that sexually available women painted ther feet red, while not *prove-able* is an emminently *reasonable* premise... Auel is one of my favourite authors and this year I finally finished reading all 5 of her novels. I did feel she was labouring a bit in the last one though - too many flash backs to earlier novels and nearly 700 pages for a pregnancy?? David in Ballarat -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[lace-chat] Help for grandson
I am wondering if there is anyone on the list that can help my grandson who lives in NSW, Australia. Has only been living in Australia for just over 12 months. He will shortly be taking his exams the equivalent of GCSE's here. He has missed out on learning about the Aboriginal people of Australia. He has been told that there will be questions asked in his history exam. His history teacher said go and search the web. I was hoping there might be some one on the list who could advise the best web site to go to. You help would be much appreciated. If there is a book that might help, please let us know we will send the money to buy the book. Many thanks for listening. jean in Newbury UK To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
