[lace-chat] hurricanes and such
Margot, your email reminded me why we selected not to move from our present suburb after all! We live in one of the no-quite-outer suburbs of Melbourne, in an area which is not quite hilly, but rather gently ondulated, and about 80m up from sea level. We discussed in the past moving to one of Melbourne south suburbs, which are on a plain, and close to the sea, as DH's children were always wanting to go to the beach at that time. Since it took us one hour each way, and a lot of hassle looking for a carpark together with another 2 million Melbournians or so, we didn't go to the beach very much. However, all our friends live down that way, so we always have to drive a long way to go see them, and vice-versa. We lost all interest in moving when talk about the Greenhouse effect started to be backed up by statistics, and it became evident that the regions near the beaches would be under water very quickly if the ice at the poles started to melt! In fact, the city centre will probably be under water very quickly too! So there we are, still on top of our little hill, and not likely to move soon. And we are very thankful we don't have to worry about hurricanes in Melbourne at present even though we do get some very bad storms, and many areas of Melbourne do get inundated. We are also fairly safe from bushfires, the other plague of Australian weather, since we are not close to any unconstucted area. We do have a few parks, and I guess our house could catch fire any time, since it a weatherboard one, but no bush. Helene, the froggy from Melbourne, counting her blessings and wishing all weather sufferers the best of luck. And hoping mankind will be smart enough to do something to correct past errors before it is too late!!

I wasn't concerned about the water reaching my flat, 10 stories up, but I wondered what would happen if the foundations of the building were pummeled by the water. So I looked out the window and tried to calculate how high the basement was above the high tide mark. I figured we'd be okay (and I was right) but I got dressed and packed an overnight bag just in case http://search.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Search - Looking for more? Try the new Yahoo!

Re: [lace-chat] Philosophical Question
Thanks to all who wrote me about my philosophical question. I have sent in my essay and my characters argued over a flat earth. I don't know how long it will be before I get me grade. Hopefully, it will be a good one ! :) Heather Abbotsford, BC Taking online classes through UCFV To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] firewall fun
Thank you to everyone who helped me with this situation. I have learned there are two types of firewalls: hardware (routers) and software (Norton and XP) I am told hardware is more dependable than software firewalls. ( I know two people who have had Norton spontaneously disable.) Because of the spontaneous issue, I have elected to install a router and activate XP's firewall. I am told I do not need both, but I am paranoid. I also have installed the new 2004 Norton antivirus. Hopefully my e-mails will be sent faster then the e-mails using Norton's firewall. (I considered placing a bobbin lace pillow by the computer -I figured a simple baby edging would add up fast to yardage. Last year I tatted 7 yards of lace waiting for kids and using those wasted minutes. Yikes!!! That *is* a lot of wasted time!!) On a frustrating note-this is the second time I have typed this-my computer shut down it's wireless connection. Well, here goes.

[lace-chat] ALG Triennial awards
Please excuse this please, but this is for any of the Aussies who may have been to the Australian Lace Guild's AGM and classes this past week. Mum and I are just dying to know more details about her wins that Ruth mentioned yesterday in a posting. No-one's contacted Mum with any info, and so she knows nothing more than what she saw on the list. If there's someone who has details, could you please email either myself or Liz Ligeti (or just post to the list, if people don't mind) - and please put us out of our "misery"? Thanks so much! Cheers, Helen, Liz Ligeti's daughter, living in gorgeous Denver, where it's supposed to be 80 again today :-) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Re: lace-chat-digest V1 #2232
Hi spiders A quick query which I'm hoping our New Zealand friends may be able to help with. Can anyone tell me for which newspaper/magazine Margaret Christensen writes a weekly article called Midweek - By The Way? I'm trying to locate the exact provenance of an article on the Battle of Britain lace panel that was sent to me by her but it didn't include this information. Please reply direct. Many thanks.
