[lace-chat] Results of visit to breast clinic
The poem is absolutely hilarious Tamara, and the diagrams of breasts very accurate. When you're thinking of buying a new car, you seem to see so many of the model you're thinking about on the roads, and now there seems to be numerous references to breast lumps on television, radio and in magazines. Our equivalent to 'ER' is 'Casualty', but not as slick, and it has a spin off 'Holby City' - the same hospital but on the wards. There's a surgeon called Rick Griffin, and I've always said that if I ever come across a surgeon called Griffin, I'll refused to be treated by him. He opens up the patient, removes what he has to remove and then has a 'feel around'. He always finds cancer or that the cancer has spread if he's removing a tumour. He'd even find it if he was removing an ingrown toenail. Last night he was removing a breast lump. I said to DH "Just you watch. He'll have a feel around and find it's spread." It had! I found it quite amusing, but DH didn't, but then I'm the glass is half full type of person, DH is the glass half empty type.

Re: [lace-chat] SP questions
I would be quite happy to be involved with SP, also except for the seemingly high cost. Although the prezzies seem quite lovely to receive, it is a rather substantial amount of stuff to have to compile to send to someone, when often the family doesn't fair that well with overseas shipping costs so high. If you did have things in a price range grouping, I would guess that a lot more lacemakers would be involved. Just my five cents worth, no pennies in Australia.

Re: [lace-chat] Re: Seasonal disorder
As far as the Christmas in July thing, I have heard that it started in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, when a bunch of Irish tourists decided that the snow falling made it look like Christmas. This inspired them to get the hotel staff to do up the place for an appropriate Christmas meal with decorations and all. I guess it is another of those urban myths.

[lace-chat] What a day!
I spent today (another 40c beauty) demonstrating lacemaking at the Stitches and Craft Fair here in Sydney. It was not as crowded as in previous years, thank goodness, but my head's still swimming. I came home to find the power had been off for 3 1/2 hours. Another three hours passed, and we had enough power to show the display on the microwave, and spark the electric ignition on the gas cooktop. DH tried the overhead lights, but no luck. He then went out to a meeting, and I'm sitting there with the only light (his desktop fluro)which seems to want to work, and candles around the room, reading. By now we've also got a red standby light on the television, which eventually made me curiousdid we have enough power to work a television? YES! So, even more curious, I tried a couple of other things...and they worked too. But still no lights. So then I went out to the fuse box, which husband had previously checked and assured me everything was on. He's still out, so he doesn't know yet - everything was on.except the master switch to the lights! Three hours sitting in the dark for no purpose!!

[lace-chat] Secret pals
I haven't participated in Secret Pals so far, but I've been thinking about the suggestion that some people might be disappointed with the parcels they receive and that a limit of, say, 10 dollars per parcel might be an idea. One possibility for making some people feel disappointed if this was strictly adopted, and they elected to have a secret pal in another country, is that what 10 dollars will buy in one country migh be quite different in another. What made me think of it was that there was a discussion on the radio about the fact that we're losing call centre jobs to India. In the UK the employees would get about 14,000 pounds but in India they get the equivalent of 2,000 so our companies save a lot of money by shipping those jobs there. And a teacher here getting 18,000 would get the equivaent of 1,000 in India so call centre jobs are sought after by graduates. I assume that things must be a lot cheaper in India than in th UK, and that jobs have different weighting when it comes to salaries as well. I believe it was said a while ago that what we pay for a cup of coffee will buy a complete meal in Canada. Just a thought.

Can't verify that, but a very funny April Fools joke on a radio station in Sydney about 10 years ago was to say that the Mint had accidentally minted a batch of dollar coins with a real gold content, and the only way to tell the difference was to count the ridges around the edge.

Funniest thing at a very low grade cricket match, where the club only has two "boxes", is to see the outgoing batsman exchange his with the incoming batsman when they meet (usually near the fence). Funniest match I ever went to (although I haven't been to many, don't like cricket) was a social match in the Northern Territory here in Australia, which was held at a buffalo farm. One of the instructions to the incoming batsmen was "Try to hit towards those two trees - there's a dead buffalo out there and the fieldsmen aren't keen on the area!"

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks
Dear Secret Pal Thank you so much for another wonderful parcel which arrived this morning much to the annoyance of the cat who will insist on sleeping behind the front door and was rudely awakened by the delivery of the mail which landed on him. The contents are just marvellous - the silk is lovely and I shall save it for a special occasion. I have not seen the metallic threads before and the packages are almost too nice to open. I have not seen the Needle Pullers before but they will certainly be put to good use in the not too distant future. The pins will also be used and the card stock survived so that will go into my store too.

[lace-chat] Did you know?
Dragonflies I'm afraid that Dragonflies generally live longer than a day. Even if you only count the time spent as an adult. The nymphs live underwater and can take a number of years to reach maturity. It is not uncommon for adult dragonflies to live 3 weeks and some may occasionally live for up to 7 weeks depending on the local conditions. This one may have been confused with mayflies who are said to only live for one day, the life span may be from a few hours to a few days, once mating has occurred the male dies, once egglaying has occurred the female dies. Due to the short life span the name given to the mayfly group of insects is Ephemeroptera - from the same root as ephemeral. Regarding Almonds they actually belong to the same genus, (a grouping smaller than a family - several genus make up a family), Prunus, as the peach and the cherry as well. On the family side almonds, peaches and cherries all belong to the family Rosaceae which also includes roses and apples.

Re: [lace-chat] :-) Did you know?
> > Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance. > Dear Jean, and Lace-Makers, thank you for the very funny and provocative list. But I must rise to this one item: Churchill was NOT born in a ladies' loo! Below I'm quoting from the Blenheim Palace website, at:- http://www.blenheimpalace.com/Sir%20Winston%20Churchill.htm "Sir Winston Churchill, arguably the greatest parliamentarian this country has ever seen, was born at Blenheim Palace on the 30th November 1874 at 1.30am. Typical of his later impatience, he had arrived several weeks early. Blenheim may never have been Churchill's home, for the estate and family title passed to his cousin, the 9th Duke (a lifelong friend always known as 'Sunny'), but for five years in the 1890's Churchill was heir presumptive to the dukedom,and it was always where his roots remained. "His birth room is on view to visitors and is set west of the Great Hall in the suite of apartments once allotted to the 1st Duke of Marlborough's domestic Chaplain. "When he was asked whether, just before his birth, his mother, Lady Randolph, was attending a ball in the Long Library or was out with a shooting-party in the park, he replied 'Although present on that occasion, I have no clear recollection of the events leading up to it.'" To which I'll only add that I'd be surprised to find that, in 1874, a very pregnant aristocratic lady would disport herself at a ball; and find it more likely that she might have driven out into the park in a carriage to take the air with the other wives, joining the men of the shooting party, maybe for a picnic lunch. (After all, a premature labour isn't necessarily a high-speed labour - you can't draw any conclusion from the time of birth.) Yours sincerely, Linda Walton, (in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K., not far from Blenheim, which I've visited, but have no clear recollection of it).

[lace-chat] Re: secret pals and cost
I wanted to comment on this as I am a Secret Pal. I got involved because I wanted to have contact with a lacemaker in another country. I am so interested in the different countries and learning more about them. Money and type of gift means nothing to me, I enjoy anything from my secret pal. I often get postcards and prickings of the styles and countryside of my Secret Pal's country and love receiving them. I love hearing about her country and her life. So I guess what I am saying is that the expense of the gift is not important - it is the thought behind it. I don't have much money myself, so I try to pick out things that might say a little something about my country and who I am. They aren't expensive, however, I think my secret pal likes them, as she always says so in her thank you notes. :-) So don't let cost stop you from being a Secret Pal.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for the last parcel, it arrived yesterday and I took great delight in opening it. The Bobbin is lovely, and you are certainly spoiling me, as in Tassie there are not many bobbin makers and they don't make lovely fine ones. The beads are great and such a useful mix, I spent last night looking through them. The wire is always much needed and of course the thread. We do not have any thread suppliers in Tasmania so I just love to receive thread, I have used the Tanne and the DMC before but I am looking forward to using the C & F Linen thread, so when I have finished the Garter that I am currently working on (only 5" to go), I will start something with the linen.
