[lace-chat] miniature spinning wheels/ attache' case charkha

2005-08-16 Thread susan
oh my gosh!!! you should see this.  one of the spinning wheels featured
on this page is a spinning wheel that folds into the size of a book and
gives a ratio of 70/1.  i'm in love with the one next to it. it is the
"attache' case charkha" and it gives a ratio of about 110/1. that is
unbelievable.  it outdoes the great wheel by about 10 for spinning fine
threads.

Don't remember seeing this series before, except, perhaps, for the last 
one.



From: C.B. I


A very elderly gentleman, (mid nineties) very well dressed, hair well 
groomed, great looking suit, flower in his lapel, smelling slightly of 
a good after shave, presenting a well looked after image, walks into an 
up-scale cocktail lounge.  Seated at the bar is an elderly looking 
lady, (mid eighties). The gentleman walks over, sits alongside of her, 
orders a drink, takes a sip, turns to her and says, "So tell me, do I 
come here often?"

<><><><><><><>

An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of 
years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted 
for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.  The 
elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor 
said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that 
you can hear again."  The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my 
family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've 
changed my will three times!"

<><><><><><><>

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench 
under a tree when one turns to the other and says... "Slim, I'm 83 
years old now, and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're 
about my age. How do you feel?"

Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby."
"Really!? Like a new-born baby!?"
"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.
<><><><><><><>

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after 
eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two 
gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new 
restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly."

The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"
The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name 
of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that's 
red and has thorns."

"Do you mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the 
kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went 
to last night?"

<><><><><><><>

Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being 
discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one 
elderly gentleman--already dressed and sitting on the bed with a 
suitcase at his feet--who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the 
hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him 
to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting 
him.
"I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing 
out of her hospital gown."

Hi Dominique, I think Pillsbury is a brand of baking flour not the 
type you find in a bouquet


That's right. Flour/flower - the sound's the same, but the meaning's 
not. Which makes the husband's mistaken assumption on a par with wives 
getting a house appliance (rather than a piece of jewelry or a night 
out away from the stove) as their major birthday or Christmas gift. 
Mind you, I've *requested* many a super-dooper pot or some other 
appliance (but *not* a vacuum cleaner ) in my younger and more naive 
days... :)
