[lace-chat] Nick Girdler
This message is for people in the Radio Solent area. For those who are fans of Nick Girdler, as you know he was axed from Radio Solent a couple of weeks ago. What's really insulting is that Solent management think that people believe the official line that he left of his own accord. Can't abide those who think you're stupid and will believe anything they say. A Yahoo group has been set up with non-restricted membership. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nickgirdlerhasleftthebuilding/ I was a real fan because he was definitely un-PC, called a spade a spade, didn't suffer fools, was funny and entertaining, was knowledgeable in all sorts of areas, deflated the pompous, as well as never charging for personal appearances for the selected causes he supported (unlike most so-called celebs), said he was well-looked after by society and therefore gave 21 days of his time for free back to it, was a school governor and still is magistrate. Really brightened the mornings with his totally interactive show for those who wanted to be part of it. He wasn't everyone's cup of tea, and something went wrong so he's no longer with the BBC. If you live in he area covered by Solent, please pass the details of the group on to anyone who might be interested.

[lace-chat] S.P. Thanks
To my Secret Pal in the U.K., I received you packet yesterday after I got home from work, and it was s nice to see it. It was a real day for gifts as it was my DH's birthday too. The lace tools are lovely. I had seen the bobbin holders in action, but had never bought any, so to receive one from you was a real treat. :-) The paper craft items are really appreciated. I have used the 3D foam pads before and really like them, I have never seen a house punch like the one you sent. The thread is beautiful - we cannot get that type of thread over here, so I will really treasure it, and will make sure it is a very special item that I make with it. The cover cloth is so pretty and I look forward to using it. We moved house over the weekend, and of the items I made sure I knew where were, my lace gear was top of the list!! I will send my new address via Brenda, so you will have it in plenty of time for next month. We have not gone far, basically just across town to a place with smaller grounds. Thank you once more for your most generous parcel Maxine in an autumnal New Zealand Maxine Diffey [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of image001.jpg] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of image002.gif] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] stamp raffle
Thank you for the lovely stamp that arrived today and the letter that came with it was quite informative. DH and I were in an accident yesterday as the man who hit us T-boned us. We didn't go to the hospital, but I am feeling it today. Wow, I am sore all over, seat belts don't help when your hit from the side. Oh well, such is life.

[lace-chat] another computer question
While we are sort of on computer subjects...I have had my new computer for just over two months. I'm running XP. Until last week I'd get a banner pop up asking me if I wanted to disconnect when I was finished with the internet/e-mail? I no longer have that feature :( It's very easy to forget to disconnect now and is most annoying. As far as I know, nobody changed any settings. What happened, and how do I get my old setting back? where can I go to find answers to little questions like this? I find Microsoft's web-site a nightmare to surf, besides, how do you word a question like that in "computerese"?

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: 3 Thoughts and 10 Commandments
Of the "3 thoughts" only #2 is new to me... That is, it's new to me *as a joke*; it certainly has been the truth in US for the past 4 yrs :) And I adore the 10 Commandments joke, which came to me "advertised" as "an equal opportunity offender" :) The only regret I have about that one is that, being a "dyed in the wool" atheist, I don't know what the other 6 Commandments are, and *who else* could be offended in that single swipe... Surely, there's room for more racist statements??? From: M.W. Subject: 3 Thoughts When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 degrees C. The Russians used a pencil. Your taxes are due again - enjoy paying them. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, And it's worked for over 200 years. And, we're not using it anymore. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse is that you cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal", Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shalt Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment. === From: D.K. Subject: 10 Commandments God went to the Arabs and said, "I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better." The Arabs asked, "What are Commandments?" And the Lord said, "They are rules for living." "Can you give us an example?" "Thou shall not kill." "Not kill? We're not interested." So He went to the Blacks and said, "I have Commandments." The Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said, "Honor thy Father and Mother." "Father? We don't know who our fathers are. We're not interested." Then He went to the Mexicans and said, "I have Commandments." The Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said "Thou shall not steal." "Not steal? We're not interested." Then He went to the French and said, "I have Commandments." The French too wanted an example and the Lord said, "Thou shall not commit adultery." "Not commit adultery? We're not interested." Finally, He went to the Jews and said, "I have Commandments." "Commandments?" They said, "How much are they?" "They're free." "We'll take 10."

Not only does it list the 10 commandments but lists the Protestant, the Catholic, and the Hebrew versions. Should be all the information you regret not having.

[lace-chat] Philosophies for life
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it. FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye. SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married. SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight. EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much. NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely. TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling. ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives. TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly. THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?" FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.! FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze. SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions. EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice. TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Naming the kids
It's a cute "fugue" on the old joke of 3 couples at the Pearly Gates and St Peter chastizing the men for their choice of wives whose names represented their obsessions (Sherry, Penny and Fanny) From: M.A. A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with 4 young mothers and their small children. "You all have obsessions, " he observed. To the first mother, he said,"You are obsessed with eating. You've even named your daughter Candy." He turned to the second mom. "Your obsession is money. Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny." He turned to the third mom. "Your obsession is alcohol. Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Brandy." At this point, the fourth mother got up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered, "Come on, Dick, let's go home, this man is crazy." -- 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]
