The only time I got really mad reading one was when it turned out to be a bowdlerized Americanized version where Mr. Dibbler's famous sausages-inna-bun had been somehow turned into hot dogs. Ack. :P Talk about wanting to reach out and smack some silly editor. Or maybe feed the gormless soul a sausage-inna-bun! I hate it when they do that. Lucky for Dickens he doesn't live now, or we'd be reading It was the best and worst of times.

[lace-chat] Terry Pratchett
http://news.independent.co.uk/media/article344232.ece Lace and fantasy/sci-fi readers isn't a combination I would necessarily have put together but I don't know why. Somehow, through sheer fluke, I've managed to get a copy of the Soul Music animation on DVDand my brother's got the Wyrd Sisters DVD. I've received every book since Jingo as either a birthday or a Christmas present.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: New Living Will
This one must have surfaced sometime last year, during the Schiavo fracas, but I can't remember seeing it before. The text needs to be tightened up some, though, to get rid of the loophole created by the phrase reasonable amount of time; what's reasonable to one person isn't, necessarily, to another... And the joke, while funny, has a dark side to it... There've been reports of plugs pulled, without any hullaballoo or political intervention (and without a living will or even waiting for the family to arrive from another country to make the decision), simply on the basis of other considerations (uninsured black immigrant; who cares?) . And there's a little girl in a Massachusetts hospital, whose plug was almost pulled (after months, not years), but who began to recover some brain activity just in time to stop the execution... From: L.M. I, __, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means. Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it or lawyers/doctors interested in simply running up the bills. If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following: __a Bloody Mary __a Margarita __a Scotch __a Martini __a Vodka and Tonic __a Steak __Lobster or crab legs __The remote control __a Bowl of ice cream ___ ___The sports page (men) or society page (women) __Chocolate __Sex it should be presumed that I won't ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: The Silent One?
From: R.P. An elderly couple was attending church services. About halfway through she leans over and says, I just had a silent fart. What do you think I should do?

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Why I Hate Physicals
The following came to me with a lot of visuals which, while amusing, are also entirely superfluous (and e-band consumptive). The joke, however, is funny and ought to resonate with many :) From: M.C. A woman goes to the doctor for her yearly physical. The nurse starts with certain basic items. How much do you weigh? she asks. 115, the woman says. The nurse puts her on the scale. It turns out the woman's weight is 140. The nurse asks, Your height? 5 foot 8, the woman says. The nurse checks and sees that she only measures 5' 5. The nurse then takes the woman's blood pressure and tells her it is very high. Of course it's high! she screams, When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat! -- 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 Thank You
Received my wonderful parcel from Down Under today. Loved the pin cushion - it's on a pillow already! The book mark will go right in the book I'm reading. I have been looking for a coin purse that size - so thank you very much. And the handmade mango soap -- my granddaughter almost commandeered it for her bath tonight. Didn't though - at least not tonight. Pat Morris is blustery, cold New Jersey where we might have a good sized snowstorm over the weekend.

[lace-chat] secret pal thanks
Dear Secret Pal in Australia, Many thanks for the lovely parcel of goodies that arrived yesterday. I had a bad day at work so it was a welcome relief to have something lovely to open ! I love the teddy key ring ! It has already been added to my keys. I might follow your suggestion and use the fan sticks when I make the fan that I have been promising myself for about the last 5 years ! Although the actual fan is very pretty. Unfortunately the case to the calendar was damaged but as it is a cd case was easily replaced. The calendar has lovely pictures and will make us think of the hot weather to come! Thanks once again, until next month, Anne Nicholas Hanworth Middx.
