[lace-chat] Computer
Hello everybody! I am having loads of trouble with my computer and can only get online once a day, if I am lucky. 'They' say it could be weeks before it is sorted out properly. However, I am still intending to participate in Secret Pal etc, but please don't be worried if I can't post things online as quickly as I should. If anyone needs me my telephone number is 01594 510519 (UK). If I have real problems, I will try to get in touch with Brenda by phone. Thank you.

[lace-chat] RE International fleet review/Trafalgar 200
Hi Everyone I'm new to the list have been lurking for a while.I live in Portsmouth have been attending a 3 day lace summer school at my lace teacher's home in Lee-on-the-Solent. We all walked down to the sea front yesterday lunchtime and watched part of the review.The Queen was onboard HMS Endurance, the ice-patrol ship, owing to the fact that the Royal yacht is no more. We also saw the tall ship SS Turk which took the part of the re-enactment later on. Most of us went to see the fireworks in the evening and got home VERY late so I'm not sure how good the standard of our lacemaking was today! Carole From: Jean Nathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [lace-chat] International Fleet Review/Trafalgar 200 As part of Trafalgar 200, 100 warships from 35 nations will be reviewed off the south coast of England by the Queen tomorrow. The only continent not represented is the antarctic. There's to be a re-enactment of a naval battle of the Napoleonic period, but to avoid upsetting anyone, the opposing fleets are to be referred to as red and blue. All large ships/boats have to be escorted to their moorings in the Solent for the review. It seems someone still has a sense of humour - a photograph has been published with the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle being escorted to her mooring by the tugboatd Trafalgar. But you can't believe any photo these days. The real celebration for the Battle of Trafalgar is in October.

[lace-chat] SP Thank You
Hello Pat, It's was so exciting to find out who my first secret pal was, and thank you so much for the wonderful items. The bobbin is exquisite and I will treasure it forever, the engraving makes it that much more special! Also, the tea towel is stunning and very interesting, as is the postcard. All the facts, what a wonderful place to call home. I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt, it is always hard to lose those someone even when they life a long, full life. I hope your kitchen turns out just the way you want it too, it sure sounds like a lot of work but will be worth it in the end. Your travels sound so exciting, and hope you have a safe trip. I wish I could be going to Denver, but finances will not allow me to go this year. Am hoping to eventually attend a conference, and would love to meet you in person. How exciting that you will be teaching, and owning a supply business will keep you extra busy! I'll wrap up now, but want you to know how much all your goodies have meant to me, and know that I will treasure them always. Your grateful SP, Cary To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] home made bobbin winders
i was hoping to find a way to make a bobbin winder. i don't want the one made with legos. i want one that is manual and cheap to make. as strange as it sounds, i thought to make one out of a kid's fishing reel. can anyone take any guesses on how to do this? my guess is to attatch the reel to a piece of flat wood, use a vacuum cleaner band to attach it to another wheel. or attatch a holder to the outside of the reel to hold the tip of the bobbin and bypass the vacuum cleaner band and wheel altogether. any tips on what type of holder might be available to attatch to the outside of the spinning reel? if anyone would have an idea please let me know because i am not looking forward to hand spinning a lot of bobbins! from susan in tennessee,u.s.a.

[lace-chat] Humour
I think we might have seen these before - but it laughter is good for the soul. Sarah, the church gossip and self-appointed arbiter of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several residents were unappreciative of her activities... but feared her enough to maintain their silence. She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his pickup truck parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. She commented to George and others that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing. George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny... he said nothing. Later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup in front of Sarah's house... and left it there all night. A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter. What are you doing? She asked. Hunting Flies He responded. Oh. Killing any? She asked. Yep, 3 males, 2 Females, he replied. Intrigued, she asked. How can you tell? He responded, 3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone. - At Heathrow Airport in England, a 300-foot red carpet was stretched out to Air Force One and President Bush strode to a warm but dignified handshake from Queen Elizabeth II. They rode in a silver 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London where they boarded an open 17th century coach hitched to six magnificent white horses. As they rode toward Buckingham Palace, each looking to their side and waving to the thousands of cheering Britons lining the streets, all was going well. This was indeed a glorious display of pageantry and dignity. Suddenly the scene was shattered when the right rear horse let rip the most horrendous, earth-shattering, eye-smarting blast of flatulence and the coach immediately filled with noxious fumes. Uncomfortable, but maintaining control, the two dignitaries did their best to ignore the whole incident, but then the Queen decided that was a ridiculous manner with which to handle a most embarrassing situation. She turned to Mr. Bush and explained, Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I'm sure you understand that there are some things even a Queen cannot control. George W., ever the Texas gentleman, replied, Your Majesty, please don't give the matter another thought. You know, if you hadn't said something I would have assumed it was one of the horses.
