[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Getting old and thanking the Lord
Not a spanking-new one, but it's been a while since it's made rounds, so some of you may not have seen it (and some of you may have forgotten it ) From: S.M. A group of senior citizens were sitting around talking about their ailments. "My arms are so weak I can hardly hold this cup of coffee," said one. "Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad I can't even see my coffee" replied another. "It has gotten to where I cannot hear anything anymore." said one in the loudest voice of the group. "I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a third, to which several nodded weakly in agreement. "My blood pressure pills make me dizzy," claimed another. "I can't even remember what I'm doing half the time; if I don't make myself a note I forget what I am trying to do in the first place" chimed yet another. "I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he shook his head. Then there was a short moment of silence... "Well, it's not that bad," said one woman cheerfully. "Thank the Lord we can all still drive." -- 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] Secret Pal Parcel
Dear Secret Pal Thank you for another lovely parcel which arrived this morning. You must have bought loads of that pretty wrapping paper in my favourite colour! This parcel was just great, as always. I love the little teddy, and he supports such a good cause too. I support Breast Cancer Charities myself, as my Mum was a victim. The emery board is in another of my favourite colours and will be saved for a special occasion! The little candle holder and candle are so pretty - almost too pretty to use - and the apron will be pressed into service over Christmas, as the one I have now is a bit past its best, to say the least. (VBG) The little coin purse is so sweet. I like the belt loop on the back, and it will be so useful when I take the dogs for a walk, as I will not have to take my bag, but will have some change handy for parking etc. The serviettes/napkins you sent me in a previous parcel have been used and admired when we have had special visitors. I have never seen such pretty ones in England. I am greatly looking forward to finding out who you are next month. Thank you once again for my parcel.

Re: [lace-chat] A question of articles
Hello Tamara and all Long time no speak. :) I use whatever sounds best and easiest to say to me. I don't remember learning what article goes before anything with an H in school. My ex is French-Canadian. He has problems pronouncing the H and some of the words he says is quite amusing. He came home once talking about a Mrs. A-hole (don't want to write the word out). I questioned him about it for a few minutes and found out her name is Hassle.
