[lace-chat] Medical Examinations
Medical Examinations 1. A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs -and I was in the wrong one. Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald, San Antonio, TX. 2. At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "Big breaths," I instructed. "Yes, they used to be," replied the patient. Submitted by Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle, WA 3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart." Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg, Manitoba, Canada 4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. "Which one?" I asked. "The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!" I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one. Submitted by Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk, VA 5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How long have you been bedridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered..."Why, not for about twenty years - when my husband was alive." Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson, Corvallis, OR 6. I was caring for a woman and asked, "So how's your breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste" the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly." Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit, MI 7. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room, when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass." Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn." Submitted by RN no name AND FINALLY!!! 8. As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB, I was quite embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams. To cover my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom I was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and sheepishly said, "I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?" She replied, "No doctor, but the song you were whistling was, "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener". Dr. wouldn't submit his name. ~~ Betty Ann Rice, RN of Roanoke, Virginia USA To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] A Tatting Mascot
Hi everyone, First Question: Does anyone know, for a fact, if there is an official mascot for tatters? If so, what is it, when was it made official and by whom? Many have used the hedgehog, as it seems to be the mascot for lacemakers, with it's quills that look like straight pins in a pin cushion on a lacemakers pillow. Since tatters are now considered lacemakers. Others say no, it's the spider with it's web. Also Mark (Tat Man) has drawn up some very cute shuttle characters. Then there is the story of the pink and green shuttles (lovers). So can any one say for sure if we have a mascot? Next question: If no one can prove what our mascot is, what do you say we get busy and find one and make it "Official"? Any tatting historians out there? This discussion can go on for a very long time. So - - - Let's give everyone until April 30th, 2006 to come up with proof of an official mascot. If no one can come up with proof of an official mascot then we'll start taking suggestions and ideas for one. Maybe Mark can jump in with a drawing or two. (Hint, Hint). We already have, spiders, hedgehogs, shuttle characters (which we would have to get special permission from mark to use). Later, if need be, we'll get a panel to choose a few finalists, then vote. Now, start digging for proof of an official mascot and thinking of ideas, if proof cannot be found. Also if I've missed any tatting groups out there, please pass this message on. We want every one to have a say. (As if I don't have enough things to do) LOL Patsy A.

[lace-chat] Free pattern (DP)
Hi everyone, I just want to announce that our L.A.C.E. guild website has a simple free pattern which would be good for an Easter gift. It is my design, and you have my permission to use it as you like. Put it in your guild newsletter or make as many as you want, maybe to sell. I made at least 10 last year and they sold well at craft fairs placed in frames from the dollar store. See url below my signature.

Re: [lace-chat] Fwd: Fw: southerners vs Scots
lol OTOH, I'm sure we've got more soft southerners on this list than we have people from Scotland ;o) There're certainly more active posters from the south, even just those that give their address as Dorset (inc. me, sometimes) than there are people who put Scotland as their address! >:-> Helen At 15:09 14/03/2006, Jenny Barron wrote: > > Subject: southerners vs Scots Helen, Somerset, UK "Forget the formulae, let's make lace" -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thank you
Dear Secret Pal, Thankyou for your lovely parcel. The hand made scarf is very much appreciated. Our weather is starting to cool already so it will be very handy. Thank you also for the stamps, my grandson wanted to stamp them for his mum so we have already put them to good use. The chocolates were yum and the M & M container will come in very handy indeed. The only containers like that that we get here are not as long so they dont prove to come in handy for many things unfortunately. The Hangtag has found a home on a new bag I have made so thank you for that also. Well, until next month, many many thanks once again.
