[lace-chat] Logic
Here's a good example of non-logic. I was in my local supermarket last evening and couldn't find the onions in the vegetable section. I asked what had happened to them. They've been moved down there. (pointing) Why? Because it's summer. Apart from the fact that it's actually Spring, why have the onions been moved? We sell more salad. So why does that mean the onions have been moved? To make more room for the salad. How does moving the onions make more room for the salad? It just does. By which time I'd been joined by a couple of other shoppers who wanted to know the answer too. But if I move from this spot here to this spot over here, I haven't made more room. That's not the same thing. Yes, it is. Have you made more space available for the salad and reduced the space for the onions? No. So how is there more space for the salad? I don't know. There just is. I just do as I'm told. From another shopper Well, there's male logic for you. Isn't the real reason so that you hope that we'll see other things while we look for what we really came in for and buy more than we attended? Well, yes. So why not say that in the first place?

[lace-chat] Spam and Mac OSX

Because we use Outlook Express, all the spam emails are delivered into out in box and just labelled as spam. It's up to us what we do with them. If we used Freeserve's other system fsmail.co.uk, which is web-based, they would go into a trash box, and I think we could then do something to get them not labelled in future. We prefer Outlook Express because you don't have to load a new page to read an email to find out that you're not interested in it so we just ignore the word *SPAM* on the subject line of anything that's not.

[lace-chat] Dear John....etc.:-)
Dear John Letter The ultimate response to a Dear John Letter...You gotta love a man like this...Humor in the face of defeat!!! A Marine was deployed to Afghanistan. While he was there, he received a letter from his girlfriend.In the letter she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone,and that she wanted to break up with him...AND,that she wanted the pictures that he had of her back. So, the Marine did what any squared-away Marine would do.He went around to his buddies and collected all of the unwanted photos of women that he could find. He then mailed about 25 pictures of women (some with clothes, some without) to his girlfriend with the following note... I don't remember which one you are..Please remove your picture and send the rest back. *** Send someone over quickly! The old woman screamed into the phone. Two naked bikers are climbing up toward my bedroom window! This is the Fire Department, lady, the voice replied. I'll have to transfer you to the Police Department. No, it's YOU I want! she yelled. They need a longer ladder! To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace-chat] ANZAC Day
Dear Liz, I reckon I saw you on our TV news here :) They showed a bit of that service. David I was lucky enough to attend the 1st ANZAC Day held at the new memorial at Hyde Park Corner. We were among a couple of thousand present and I have to say it was one of the most moving experiences I have had. Thanks to all the Aussies who have ever helped out the Brits including those who were stationed with my father.

[lace-chat] Spring Vacation week
Dear fellow Arachneans, I just want to let you all know that at the end of last week I met 3 bobbin lace makers in a country that not everyone knows about. Our family visited the country of Estonia, the northern-most Baltic country. In particular we stayed for 5 nights in Tartu, which is also known as The City of Good Thoughts. It is where Tartu University is located and the house that was built for my husband's paternal grandfather. Several people referred to Oru Villa as the prettiest house in Tartu. If you wish to see the house go to: http://oruvilla.ee/eng/index.html We visited Lia Looga, her husband, in Tartu on Wednesday were shown her lace pictures, flowers, jewelry, scarves table linen that she had made over the last 5 years. Then on Thursday, we drove to Narva, the eastern-most city, saw a display of Russian bobbin lace made by Olga Kublitskaja. She has a web-site: http://www.hot.ee/olgalace/ We also explored the restored Narva Castle from which we could look across the Narva River into Russia. We then drove back to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia that afternoon. On Friday afternoon, we had arranged to meet Kristiina Halberg, who is the President of the Estonian Bobbin Lace Society, under the clock of the 600 year old Town Hall at 4pm. While we drank coffee, we exchanged lace books. I gave Kristiina a copy of Rosemary Shepherd's Introduction to Bobbin Lace book for the Society's library she gave me 2 books about Estonian Bobbin Lace. My husband acted as translator as he speaks Estonian very well. He has been a regular visitor for the last 10 years, listens to Estonian radio via the internet when he can. The Estonian Bobbin Lace Society (Eesti Niplispitsi Selts) started in 1995 will be celebrating their 10th anniversary next year. The weather was very pleasant during the week we were there.
