[lace-chat] Fwd: g-mail
Gentle Spiders, I admit I'm not sure what the advantages of having a g-mail account are (my personal bottleneck is at the ISP, and everything has to go through *that*) but, when a lacemaking friend asks a favour, especially one which might prove to be beneficial to many... :) Begin forwarded message: From: Haddad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: March 18, 2005 14:37:29 EST To: " Duvall, Tamara P. " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: g-mail Hi Tamara – I wonder if I could use you as a go-between for me and the chat-list again. It involves g-mail accounts (google mail). They’re enormous mailboxes – forgotten just how big, but BIG. And they’re free. One catch – it’s by invitation only. I have 100 or so invitations at my disposal, and I was wondering if anyone on chat was wanting a g-mail account. Could you ask them for me, and ask them to send a request for an invitation to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The invitation includes more info. I wrote to the moderator about this, and received no reply, so I assume it is legit to post the offer. Many thanx!

Obviously you wouldn't take a class in THAT, so what on earth is "salsa"? It does come from the "salsa" you know - the tomato, onion, usually also sweet and hot peppers and vinegar - mix, used in cooking, or as a dip, or in other ways. It's typical of Latin America, as Helen said. So, pretty soon, the music that was heard around the cafes and bars frequented by Latinos also began to be called "salsa". Then the term moved on to the dance style associated with that kind of music... And that's what's being taught :) Language and its gyrations is the most fascinating thing, second only to *general* human behaviour; I still love it more than lace (though not *much* more ) -- 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] Re: [lace] Lace patterns in nature
Just print it off, cover it with contact paper, and prick a hole wherever there's a crossing!

[lace-chat] The Rooster
A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get started." Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?" The blonde says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a rooster." Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster". He takes her hand and says "Secondly, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then. he said with a deep sigh" "Let's put all these Corn Flakes back in the box."

[lace-chat] Newly Single
Hello all, I hope that you will forgive me for some maudlin reflections. And to those to whom I owe letters, hopefully this will explain some of my tardiness (Tamara). I am recently separated from my husband of 22 years, not by choice, however, and am adjusting to my new state. My house has recently been put up for sale and we have a buyer with the subjects being removed on Tuesday and final move out date May 1st. Please go to www.randydyck.com and click on Properties, Randy's listings, Houses and my house is in the third row, right hand side (it's pink), address is 31034, to see a virtual tour of my place, if you are interested. It is a typical house for this area. Bedroom #3 used to be my craft room with all my stuff in it, but that is all packed away for now, until I find a new place for the kids and I. I thought, perhaps, I'd explain my signature in my letter to lace and let you, some of whom I have known for years, know what's up in my life. Although separation is an awful thing, I find that I am getting more and better sleep now than I have done for some time! Funny how things work out. Thanks for listening, Christine N. - email me.

Re: [lace-chat] Recipe for Corned Beef Water
That recipe sounds an AWFUL lot like my mother's boiled salad dressing, which I used to just love! She not only put it on salads, she used it to mix with cold roast beef run through a meat grinder for sandwich spread.

Re: [lace-chat] Salsa
Umm, it's a type of Latin American dance which is incredibly popular over here. As I lack all co-ordination, I've never tried it although everyone tells me that it's great fun.

[lace-chat] Electrical stores in Brisbane
I am wondering if anyone in Australia can help me. My DIL is going to Brisbane shortly, the rest of the family will stay near Surfers Paradise. My Number 3 grandson wants to use a No 1 play station, unfortunately a lead was lost in the move to Australia, does anyone have an idea a store where another lead can be bought. My family live in a small country town which does not have a store that can help them. Your help would be much appreciated as grandson number 2 has just phoned us to ask for our help.
