[lace-chat] S.P.Thanks
To my Secret Pal from England, Thank you so much for you package which arrived today. I will surely think of you when I make my cuppa, and as the weather has now warmed up here, at long last, I will look at planting the butterfly flowers etc, and after all that effort, I will look forward to a wonderful relaxing bath in my favourite fragrance!!! How did you guess? The fridge magnet will be installed after my current visitors with their little people have left... the littlies are good, but the magnet is rather special! Do you know what the wood is that the bobbin is made from? I look forward to next month. Maxine Diffey in a now sunny N.Z. :-) Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

[lace-chat] treating everyone right?

It's far easier to belittle, mistreat, ignore, torture and kill someone who I believe is a lesser being than me. If we believe that all people are equal (without any necessity of mentioning any special groups or categories), it becomes impossible to do the appalling things that happen all over the world. You may think I'm dreaming of the impossible. Try starting to live this way where you are now, amongst those people you have contact with. Having just spent 3 days at work doing what we call "stock maintenance", which consists of looking through all the itmes that were returned by people or found in the library and have somehthing wrong with them, I am inclined to say : If we all started by repecting other people's property, instead of cutting out recipes instead of photocopying them, writing phone numbers on pages just because they happen to be handy at the time, or rude messages because it's funny, or we don't agree with the writer on a point, extinguishing our cigarettes or spilling our drink on the library book; reaping off pages because they have pretty pictures, or the teacher wants us to illustrate an assignment,or we need a piece of paper to write something down; scratching CDs and DVDs and pulling videos out of the machine before they stop; trhrosing library books in the b(dirty) boot of the car and leaving them to soak in grease and water for a few days, and then sneaking them through the night chute so that no-one can reproach us verbally, masturbating in the library and hiding the result inside the pages of a new book (yes! it's happened here!! imagine how we felt when we found it!!!) When we all stop doing those things, then we might be ready to look at more important things, like getting on with other human beings Yours, sad and furious after throwing away many nearly new books, videos, CDs, magazines and DVDs, Helwne, the froggy from Melbourne Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!

The lines of communication are broken again; all I get is rejections, saying there are a host of possibilitities, which I can barely understand: - The host does not have any mail exchanger (MX) or address (A) records in the DNS. - The host has valid MX records, but none of the mail exchangers listed have valid A records. - There was a transient error with the DNS that caused one of the above to appear to be true. Just what does your ISP (attbi) have against dirty jokes? Do you have it set to screen down to 5-yr old level? -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] :) Fwd: A few interesting lines....
Some new, some not so fresh... almost all funny :) From: E.H. I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with 'Guess' on it. I said, 'Thyroid problem?' When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me. I've often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can't get my wife to go swimming. I was doing some decorating, so I got out my step-ladder. I don't get on with my real ladder. I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance. A cement mixer collided with a prison van on the Kingston Bypass. Motorists are asked to be on the lookout for 16 hardened criminals. Well I was bullied at school, called all kinds of different names. But one day I turned to my bullies and said ' Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me', and it worked! From there on it was sticks and stones all the way. My Dad used to say ' always fight fire with fire', which is probably why he got thrown out of the fire brigade. Sex is like bridge: If you don't have a good partner, you better have a good hand. I saw six men kicking and punching my mother-in-law. My neighbour said 'Aren't you going to help?' I said 'No, six should be enough." If we aren't supposed to eat animals, then why are they made out of meat? I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers. You know that look women get when they want sex? No, me neither. Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, such as working for a living. I was the kid next door's imaginary friend. Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] :) warning
DEER TICK WARNING I hate it when people forward bogus warnings...but this one is real, and it's important. So please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list: If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting a survey on deer ticks and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! IT IS A SCAM; they only want to see you naked. I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid now. bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Lynn [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Danny" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Lynn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 11:42 AM Subject: Fw: IDIOT SITINGS More IDIOT Sitings IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: "too many deer were being hit by cars" and he didn't want them to cross there anymore. ** IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE: My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg. ** IDIOT SIGHTING: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask." ** IDIOT SIGHTING: The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine when she asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?!" ** IDIOT SIGHTING: At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was leaving the company due to "downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully, "this is fun. We should do this more often." Not a word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare. ** IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the life of her couldn't understand why her system would not turn on. ** IDIOT SIGHTING: When my husband and I arrived at an car dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. "Hey," I announced to the technician, "it's open!" To which he replied, "I know - I already got that side." They walk among us..scary!! No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

[lace-chat] S.P. thank you
To my S. P. in the U.S.A. Thank you for the package which arrived today. D.H and myself are looking forward to a good cup of coffee at the week end when we have time to relax. The thread is just the perfect shade of aqua blue, and will look fantastic as wings on the next fairy that I make. The thread will give me the inspiration for the design. Thank you so much for the goodies, I look forward to next month.
