And we get a lot of rain too, when it gets even cooler. Definitely layers, with more long sleeved shirts than short sleeved ones, a sweater or two, and at least one light-to-medium weight jacket for the evenings. Of course, with the global warming, the short sleeved shirts cannot be eliminated entirely; the past few summers have had their "swelter points" of 30C, some of which lasted as long as a week... -- 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] Locations and names.
Hi all, I was chatting with my SIL last night, ans she mentioned that part of her mother's family originated in England. The family name is Southcombe, and they were in Rose Ash, near South Molton in Devon. There were members of the family who were the vicars for over a century at the church St Peter in Chains, in Rose Ash. The family built a huge mansion on a farm named Honiton Braham (?), and the house was named Honiton Hall. Any lace connections there I wonder.. The reproduction of a photo she has of the family coat of arms shows the arms have been placed on a piece of lace, reminiscent of Torchon, but it was such a poor reproduction of the photograph I could well be mistaken, all I could see was that it was a very geometric lace behind the shield the arms were mounted on. Any one with any info, feel free to email directly. By the way, they are going to be cruising in the northern hemisphere this coming July, around the Baltic Sea area, and as far west as Iceland. Can somebody please give me an indication of the temperatures they might encounter. Maxine - from a distinctly autumnal N.Z.

From: R.P. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country. The New York Times is read by people who think they ought to run the country and who are very good at crossword puzzles. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand The New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country if they could find the time and don't have to leave Southern California to do it. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and believe they did a far superior job of it, thank you very much. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country and don't really care as long as they can get a seat on the train. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who's running the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while drunk. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but need the baseball scores. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure there is a country. Or that anyone is running it, but if so they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority feminist atheist dwarfs who also happen to be illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy, provided, of course, that they are not Republicans. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store. -- 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]

Is the correct term 'really badly'? > >"That went by quick(ly)?" > >What is the rule for 'ly'? You use -ly to make an adverb out of an adjective. Life gets complicated because not all adverbs were made out of adjectives, and some words are both adjectives and adverbs (and may be nouns and verbs as well). Not to mention that there is often a subtle difference in meaning between "word" and "wordly". (Cf. "sick" and "sickly", both adjectives, but "sickly" can also be an adverb -- though it tends to mean "while feeling sick" more often than "in a sick manner".) (Except when it's modifying an adjective: "his face was a sickly yellow".) "Wordly" reminds me that there are also adjectives that were made by adding -ly to nouns: "with all my worldly goods I thee endow", "his cowardly act", "her womanly charms" . . . I think that here, "-ly" is a shortened form of "-like". Mostly. There is one rule that always holds: if you tack an -ly onto an adjective in a predicate, the resulting word modifies the *verb* in the sentence. Thus the often cited: "I feel bad about it." -- it makes me sad "I feel badly about it." I am pawing around it with mittens on. Then you get into the little idiomatic things -- the adverb form of "good" is "well" -- if you add -ly to "good", you get another adjective which means not good, but large: "He was paid a goodly sum." And if you feel well, you aren't feeling in a good manner, you are feeling *healthy*. But if you write well, you are writing in a good manner -- and you can feel good, but you can't write good. (You can, on the other hand, write "good" on a report.)

Yes, it's probably legal. The material is older than 1923. It is most likely no longer under copyright. The cost is very low. You can buy it from her, or you can search out a copy, scan it into your computer page by page for yourself. Your cost and time for doing this would be much more than the $4 price on the email copy. When a person gets this long email, it can be saved to CD if preferred. Since it's not shipped, there would be no shipping cost. This is just a modern version of the photocopied books and articles offered on eBay.

[lace-chat] ebay ?
Dear friends, I don't know if this should go on chat or lace so I just put it here. Just a question, this item is on ebay, but the person says that there is not shipping and handling because after she receives the money she will email a copy to the winner, is that legal? And the answer to your next question is no I will not be getting this from this person. Anyway its ebay item #8261102086.

Re: [lace-chat] Pink elephants
Dear Tamara, 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... :) The only answer with which I can come up, in this mysterious magical world of computers, is that your event co-incided with the same day that I, after about 12 years, finally changed my email address I always said I never would, because my little local server (Friendly Giant) offered such fabulous service. However, the bigger companies have at last offered me a cheap enough deal on broadband, which I've taken up. I've tried for about 4 days now mucking around with two email addresses and swapping between Outlook and Eudora. It's just not worth the effort. So during the coming week, I have the unenviable task of informing Friendly Giant that I'm no longer with them :( David in Ballarat [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
