[lace-chat] :) Fwd: The trip to Rome
Not a *new* one -- not even to my imperfect memory -- but a "goodie", nevertheless, and not recently re-hashed; I think it dates to the time when the US dollar was still alive and kicking (before '01), and travelling to Europe was possible without getting oneself in hock forever... This month's Consumer Reports came today and DH -- spotting an article on "travelling abroad, managing money" thought it would be of interest to me, since I'm planning to go to Prague and Poland this summer. Well, I read it (he didn't), and the advice, in general, was: "don't go to Europe; stick to the areas where the dollar is still strong: South America (except Brazil) or Asia (except Hong Kong). But, given the gas (and, consequently, the *flights*) prices, your best bet is Mexico, as you can reach it by car". Muy gracias de nada :) Even Canada -- which, like Mexico, can easily be reached by car -- was on the "not-advised" list... From: T.H. A New York woman was at her East Side hairdresser’s getting her hair styled prior to a trip to Rome with her boyfriend. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser who responded, "Why would anyone want to go to Rome? It’s crowded and dirty and, worse yet, full of Italians. You’re crazy to go to Rome". But a few minutes later, "So how are you getting there?" "We’re flying Continental," was the reply. We got a good rate." "Continental," exclaimed the hairdresser, "that’s a terrible airline. Their planes are old. Their flight attendants are ugly and they’re always late." And again, a few minutes later, "So, where are you staying in Rome?", asked the hairdresser. "We’ll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome’s left side called Teste" "Don’t go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it’s gonna be something special and exclusive but it’s really a dump - the worst hotel in the whole city! The rooms are small, the service is surly and they’re way overpriced." And yet again : "So, whatcha doing when you get there?" "We’re going to go to see the Vatican and we are hoping to see the Pope." "That’s rich," laughed the hairdresser, "you and a million other people trying to see him. He’ll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You’re sure going to need it." A month later, the woman, all smiling, came in for her hair appointment. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome. "It was absolutely wonderful," explained the woman, "not only did we arrive on time in one of Continental’s brand new jets but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful and I had a handsome 28-year old steward who waited on me hand and foot." "And the hotel - it was fabulous! They’d just finished a $5 million remodeling job and now it’s just a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They too, were overbooked so they apologized and gave us their owner’s suite at no extra charge" "Well", muttered the hairdresser, "I know you didn’t get to see the Pope". "Actually, we were quite lucky because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the Pope likes to personally meet some of the visitors and if I’d be so kind to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Holy Father walked through the door and shook my hand. I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me." "Really?" asked the hairdresser, her mouth hanging open, scissors forgotten, "What’d he say?" He asked, "Where did you get that crappy hairdo?" - 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]

Tamara said: People see museums buying paintings for millions (because those sales make the headlines), and assume that sky's the limit. While -- and Devon will correct me if I'm wrong -- probably most of the museums' collections are based on gifts, with pieces bought only to "round off" a particular collection. So, a "museum quality" piece ought to be free :) BWWWHAHAH Your logic is impeccable - I like it! :-> Vasna Zago If you can't be a good example, you'll just have to be a horrible warning.

[lace-chat] Dorothy bag
I've always understood a dorothy bag to be either a simple bag made by putting a drawstring around a circle of fabric, an inch or so from the top, then tightening the drawstring so you get a pouch with a frill around the top edge and the draw string loops for handles, or a more sophisticated drum-shaped bag but still with a draw string and frill at the top. If you do a google, you'll find other bag shapes called dorothy bags, but they all have a gathered top.
