This is hysterical! And so close to home that it's scary. All this time I thought only 
Israelis clap when the plane lands.

Hi Jenny - 

That's Susanne Thompson's first book. The one that is 
proving so hard to find is her second one..."Further 
Steps..." I think Batsford really ought to reprint that 
book, because a lot of people would like to find it!

[lace-chat] Urgent Help Required

2003-07-30 Thread David Collyer
Dear Friends,
I have a problem and am calling upon your wise counsel to help me solve it.
Tonight at Choir Practice we had a woman in her 60s audition, and frankly, 
she's not up to the task. Apparently she already sings in the Choir at the 
U3Age University (for senior citizens) and in the next couple of days I 
need to send her a snail mail telling she has failed her audition.

I was just hoping that someone out there may have had to handle a similar 
situation. I would hate to hurt this woman's feelings any more than I 
surely will, and definitely don't want to send her into acute depression.

Many thanks in anticipation

[lace-chat] health tips?

2003-07-30 Thread Thurlow Weed
I know amongst are ranks are many experts on almost everything, and now I am
seeking suggestions for anything that can help me with bronchitis.  I caught
a cold about a week ago, and just as it was about to go away, it was very
rude and turned into acute sinusitis and acute bronchitis. My doctor gave me
an Rx for Levaquin, which is starting to do its thing, and I've been
drinking lots of chicken broth to the extent that I think I'm going to
sprout feathers anytime now.  I've also been having lots of fresh-squoze
orange juice and the hot water-vinegar-honey thing.  At least my fever's
gone down from where it was for two days (104.1) to a more manageable 99.2.

Anyone in lace-land have any other old-fashioned (or new-fashioned) aids to
getting bronchitisi/sinusitis to hurry up and go away?  I do want to thank
"Dr." Tamara Duvall, however, with providing us with the usual humour almost
everyday to read -- laughter is excellent medicine!!  (Even though it
initiates a coughing fit...)

Haven't found it yet. I might do some lace for a break. LOL.

I've missed David's post, but want to
add : if she is as clueless about herself,
*as I am about myself* - and how I 'come
across to' other people*, perhaps also
a *technical* suggestion would be in
order - if you sense that she has some
ability that could be 'polished' ?

Re: [lace-chat] health tips?

2003-07-30 Thread Scotlace
For the sinusitis try inhaling the steam from boiling water (or as hot as you 
can stand - sub boiling, probably) with something like menthol dissolved in 
it - *if* you have a nostril sufficiently unblocked for the steam to penetrate. 
 (I usually can't breathe through my nose when I have full blown sinusitis.)  
The only other advice is rest, rest and more rest even after you start to 
feel better.

Hope you recover soon, Patricia in Wales

particia just told of how to use steam and menthol to open up nostrils
to open up the nostrils before you use the above method use any brand of 
hot sauce on any snack and get them open for the mentholated steam
it works great
hope it does for you

Not by a *long* shot :) You fly with Poles, and it's "whoosh" on 
take-off, as everyone crosses him/her self. And then it's clapping and 
bravo-s on landing (if successful )... Our pilots are 
well-appreciated for their skills, though I've often wondered what the 
foreign ones (I've seen it done on American airlines too; a lot of 
Poles fly in this drection) think about it.

My personal favourite was the Bus situation; "been there, done that" 
(in Poland), for more years than I care to remember... :) And the 
Bureaucracy is "exactly *so*", too; you're always sent "from Annas to 
Kaifas", and, when you finally reach the correct window, they're out to 
lunch and closed for the day...

Definitely not PC, but the "Lena and Ole" jokes are now ranking second 
(after the "blonde" ones) in frequency when it comes to "serial" ones 
(could it be that Polacks are "out", and blonde Swedes are "in"?). And 
many are funny...

From: R.P.
Lena folded and put away Ole's underwear. Ole took out a pair the next
morning and noticed there was powder all over the crotch area. He 
started to
shake the powder out and said, "Darn it, Lena, I vish you vouldn't put 
so
much talcum powder in my undervear."

Lena replied, "Dat not talcum powder, Ole. Dat Miracle Gro!"
