[lace-chat] ly
Hello all, I have come to this fountain of knowledge to ask about 'ly', as in really, badly, etc. Is there a rule for when a word has ly on the end? So often I hear people say 'he did real bad' which I know is incorrect, but so is 'really bad', isn't it? Is the correct term 'really badly'? That went by quick(ly)? What is the rule for 'ly'?

[lace-chat] Men's Underwear
Hello all, Here's a site that is similar to the Art Bras for Breast Cancer that I posted last year. This one is Men's Underwear for Prostate Cancer. The site is just a photo site unlike the bras one, but I thought you might like to see it. I particularly like the codpiece. http://flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sets/1334683/ Heather Abbotsford, BC Rainy To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is a lot of confusion on this ruleso don't feel bad about that! :)) The -ly ending creates adverbs -- words that modify verbs. So if you want to modify the verb feel you would say badly. If you want to modify the noun he you say bad. In the sentence he did badly the adverbial suffix is appropriate because you are describing how he did on or with something. In the sentence he feels bad you are actually describing how he feels, not the act of feeling itself, if that makes sense. You are modifying the noun rather than the verb. You are describing the actor, not his actionunless you want to say he does a bad job of feeling. Hope that makes sense!!

[lace-chat] Stands to reason ...
Men's Rules (that women should know) Women, learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not considered by us to be opportunities to see if we can find the perfect present . . . . again! Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her. Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! We don't remember dates. . . .Period!! Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress? Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We've been tricked before!! If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you. If we ask what is wrong and you say nothing, we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks. Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what they're saying anyway.) BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know, it's like camping.

[lace-chat] Finished!
Hi All, A dubious honor but I did finish the Shogun Sudoku! I'm embarrassed to say it must have taken around 20 hours! Embarrassed because I do have other things to do G. I sure don't know where they came up with 1 hour and 15 minutes for how much time it should take. Obviously someone a little more adept at Sudoku than me! This morning I had only the upper left 9x9. It was not coming together and then I found two 2s in one row! I erased the whole corner and started over. It ended up I had to fill in each square with all the tiny numbers that would fit. I find that confusing but nothing else was working. I finally got it on the second, painstaking try. I don't know if I'll try another one of those again G. Keeping track of what square I was working on and constantly double checking to make sure I wasn't screwing up was a little tedious. Now I can get back to work on other things like lace!

[lace-chat] a laugh
Thought that some may get a chuckle from this one. Jen in Melbourne, Australia (hot and sunny 37 degrees celcius) - There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black: 1. He called everyone brother. 2. He liked Gospel. 3. He couldn't get a fair trial. But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish: 1. He went into His Father's business. 2. He lived at home until he was 33. 3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother was sure He was God. But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian: 1. He talked with His hands. 2. He had wine with His meals. 3. He used olive oil. But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian: 1. He never cut His hair. 2. He walked around barefoot all the time. 3. He started a new religion. But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an American Indian: 1. He was at peace with nature 2. He ate a lot of fish 3. He talked about the Great Spirit. But then there were 3 equally good arguments the Jesus was Irish: 1. He never got married. 2. He was always telling stories. 3. He loved green pastures. But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a WOMAN: 1. He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was no food. 2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it. 3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was work to do.

[lace-chat] Pink elephants
Gentle Spiders, For some 3 yrs, I've been sending messages to Arachne-lace and Arachne-chat and never saw them back, unless I checked with the archives, or my own Sent box; somewhere, I lost the ability to receive my own messages back as a part of the list. It was frightening at first (I never knew whether the message'd hit the target) but, as I began to receive responses to posted but not reflected messages, I relaxed and adjusted. If I was *really* worried about spouting too much on any day, I'd check my own Sent box. If I was *really* worried about a message not reaching the list, I'd check the archives... Not entirely satisfactory, but, supposedly, the mark of the superiour (human) intelligence is how well we can adjust to the existing circumstances, if we cannot change the circumstances. I tried to change the circumstances, and none of my clued-in puter buddies could tell me what ailed my system, much less how to fix the problem. So I adjusted, the best I could... Tonight, I sent a message to the lace-chat (subject: logic, containing a couple of jokes) and was knocked out of my socks with surprise, when it flew back into my Arachne-chat box, as such messages used to do... *3 yrs ago*... What the heck Is it something in my teeth??? Which have been rearranged, drastically, on the left-hand side, yesterday (the r.h is scheduled March 23; will it change my puter settings *again*???). It's like something that the Sci-Fi fans among you ought to be able to unscramble'; it sure is beyond *my* 2 grey cells... :) -- 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]
