[lace-chat] Voting
An English Prime Minister, on the night before the Election (In the days before TV),said, - on "steam" radio ' Whatever your Party, whatever your Politics, Please go and vote. If you don't vote - you can't grumble." Good advice - we all like a good grumble sometimes from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Chocolate
Hi All, I too was interested to read about 22 pounds of chocolate being enough to kill you . I haven't gotten close by my sister visited this weekend and I did my best to overindulge in candy corn and other goodies. And thanks Noelene for mentioning candy in a cup when lace making. I remembered that helpful arachne hint and in Ithaca I took my M&Ms to class in a cup and my fingers were clean!! Unfortunately I eat more in one "sip" than when I eat them with my fingers but I still didn't get close to 22 lbs. Jane in Vermont, USA who plans to print out the lace makers stretches and put that in my NL box! Those suggestions were some time ago but I think I still have them in the computer. That wasn't much help when I was in Ithaca, NY!

A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office. "Is it true," she wanted to know, "that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?" "Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her. There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'."

I once had a kilo of chocolate from the chocolate society (I kid you not - there is a chocolate society!) and it was about 12" high by 8" wide and 1" thick. So we are talking 10 of these guys - I'd be sick before I died. The Aussie realised that he couldn't actually have eat 22lbs of anything without running out of available stomach space - he was upset by this fact that he can't kill himself via chocolate. Still, I've bought him two mini after eight boxes and a tub of Green and Black organic chocolate ice cream to make up for it - I think he has got over it!!

[lace-chat] Some Wisdom
What love is all about: It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly gentleman, in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation. I asked him if he had a doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer Disease. As we talked, and I finished dressing his wound, I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him. "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?" He smiled as he patted my hand and said, "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is." I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life." True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be. "Peace is seeing a sunset and knowing who to thank" "The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything that comes along their way." With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there are some that come along that have an important message,and this is one of those kind. Just had to share it with you all.

[lace-chat] Re: Mediteranean flowers - Morning Glory
May I just thank everyone who got back to me about the lovely blue flower we saw whilst on holiday in Southern France - it was "Morning Glory". I gather it's a cousin of the Bindweed and just as rampant in the right conditions :( Regards to you all, Ann McClean in Llanmerewig, Mid-Wales, U.K. [EMAIL PROTECTED] CAWTHORN, SCOTT & DeSilva PALMER Family History Pages: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cawthorn/ "BookCrossing" - find a book, take it and read it, and then leave it somewhere for someone else to find and read. http://www.bookcrossing.com/ - Original Message - From: Ann McClean To: Lace-chat Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 10:38 AM Subject: Mediteranean flowers DH & I have just returned from a week's holiday in Southern France. We stayed in Laroque des Alberes, a village at the foot of the Chaine des Alberes mountain range which in turn is the eastern end of the Pyrenees. Everywhere we went we saw a particular climbing flower - which I cannot find the name of! The flower was a trumpet shape, about the size of bindweed, and an intense Mediteranean blue in colour. The leaves were trefoil shaped, about the size of sycamore. And it was the one subject I didn't take a picture of :( At first I thought it was a clematis, but the flower construction and the leaves don't match - hence my request. Can anyone help? Have done an image search on Google, and plenty of oleander and bourgainvillea which we also saw lots of, but not this particular one.

[lace-chat] Chocolate
Our TV "quiz" QI (Quite Interesting) has just started a new series, with all sorts of peculiar facts. Did you know that the kiwi has the shortest bill in the world - the length of a bird's bill is measured from the tip of the bill to the nostrils, and it has its nostrils on the end of its bill unlike just about every other bird on the planet. But even more interesting is that the lethal amount of chocolate needed to be consumed by the average adult human is 22 lbs.

[lace-chat] ebay email scam/phishing
I had one last week supposedly from ebay which instead of the usual link to click on, had a submit button instead. With the link, if you put your mouse pointer over it, the actual address it links to is shown at the bottom left of at least Outlook Express rather than what the link says. The giveaway of you're not familiar with ebay addresses, is that the frudulent ones often have an @ symbol somewhere in them (but not always). Putting the mouse pointer on the button, gives no indication of where it leads to, and the only way to get any idea of the origin is to reveal all the details of the message. Mine came from an email adress with about 15 letters of the alphabet @hotmail.com. Forward any email you receive from ebay, Paypal or now half.com to spoof@ whichever they're supposed to come from. They'll tell you straight away if it's fraudulent, which 999 times out of a thousand it is. They need to have them forwarded so they can get the senders shut down and attempt to have legal action taken against them. I know they only start up again from a different address, but eventually they might be caught. And don't forget that if you delete a message from your in box, it might also need to be deleted from your deleted box to get rid of it altogether.
