[lace-chat] Kneading Cats
I love to get a massage from my cat, Molly, a calico, but not at 5:00 am, on my boobs, or when her claws need clipping, which is why I am at the computer so early this morning. Ouch!! Does anyone know why cats do this movement? Janice Blair Crystal Lake, IL, 50 miles nw of Chicago Where I am anxiously watching my mailbox for the Lace Guild magazine.

[lace-chat] Square bobbins
Some years ago I purchased a pair of square bobbins for my secret pal of the time. It must have been at chepstow and therefore would have been from Winslow bobbins, I think. They said they had started producing them because of demand.

[lace-chat] Thank you Secret Pal
Hi, I'd like to thank my secret pal for the packet of gifts this month. Unfortunately I'm having to fight with my children as to who gets to use them - they like the pen and the watch as much as I do. The chocolates were great and the notepad is already getting used. I write a fair number of notes so the note paper/envelopes will certainly come in handy. Thanks so much, Cindy, in Wisconsin To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] RE: Handicapped parking
About two years ago, I had a serious illness from what turned out to be a throat infection -- an exuberant overgrowth of the normal flora. It was not found early despite 2 trips to the MD and 1 to the ER. It was three weeks after the ER visit that I was finally able to get in to see the ENT (ear/nose/throat specialist), who found the problem in about 10 seconds. However, the pain was so intense up to then, that every swallow caused excutiating pain in the throat and ear. The ER doc had prescribed Tylenol 3, and also Lidocaine (mixed 50/50 w/ Maalox) to use in the interim. Because of the frequnecy and strength of the medications, they not only took away the pain, but also took away neuromuscular control in my legs. I found myself needing a handicapped placard for my car. The experience was a real eye-opener when I would go to the market and see people (glare at people?) without handicap ID parking in a spot that I really needed, as I was walking with a cane at the time -- for a year, actually. It really drove home to me how important those spaces are, and what life savers they are. When I could walk without the cane, it was time to renew the placard, which I decided not to do. Though it was an effort, I chose to park in the nearest regular space, even if it was some distance away. God had seen fit to restore reasonable walking ability to me, and more walking would be of great benefit for my rehab. And there were those who needed the space much more than me. However, I now glare quite enthusiatically at those who steal the handicapped parking slots!

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: dubya the queen
I'm positive I've heard this one before, just with a different cast of characters (I seem to remember queen Victoria?). However, The Visit (so well-discussed on chat g) makes it timely again, so... :) BTW, I wonder if horse-drawn carriages have to pay the congestion fee in London, or is it cars only? From: S.D. At London's Heathrow Airport, a 300-foot long red carpet stretches out to Air Force One and Mr. Bush strides to a warm but dignified handshake from Queen Elizabeth II. They ride in a silver 1934 Bentley limousine to the edge of central London, where they then board an open 17th century coach pulled by six magnificent white matching horses. They ride toward Buckingham Palace, each looking sideways and waving to the thousands of cheering Britons. So far everything is going well. Suddenly the right rear horse lets fly with the most horrendous, earth-rending, eye-smarting blast of flatulence ever heard in the British Empire, so powerful that it shakes the coach. Uncomfortable, but under control, the two Dignitaries of State do their best to ignore the incident. Finally, embarrassed, the Queen decides it's impossible to ignore. Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I'm sure you understand that there are some things not even a Queen can control. Ever the Texas gentleman, the President replies, Your Majesty, please don't give the matter another thought. You know, if you hadn't said something, I would have thought it was one of the horses. - Tamara P Duvall Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd/ To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
