[lace-chat] secret pal thanks

2006-04-07 Thread Anne Nicholas
Dear Secret Pal,

Thank you so much for my parcel which arrived today.

Through taking part in the Secret Pal exchange for a few years, I have built
up a wonderful collection of bears from around the world and the beautiful one
that you have sent me has been added to this collection!

Thank you also for the thread which I have no doubt will be worked with as
soon as I find the right pattern for it.

Happy Easter to you and your family,

Anne Nicholas

[lace-chat] Eel spears/frog spears

2006-04-07 Thread Jane Viking Swanson
Hi All,  I remembered that DH used to get eels with his Uncle Everett.
Uncle Everett built a houseboat that he lived on on the Connecticut River
which runs right past Brattleboro, Vermont, where we live.  Anyway, I
remembered to ask DH tonight and they caught the eels with a line.  However,
he suggested Googling Frog Spears and there are lots of listings for
modern Frog Spears.  The ones I looked at all were like tridents but there
might be some there with the middle killing tine!  Or you might write to
one of the companys and ask about it.

Also Tamara and German arachnes might suggest what to Google in Polish and
German.  Oh, I also looked up Frog Gigs since somebody wrote about gigging
and that brought up a lot of spears too.  I think the froggers bring the
frogs home alive so it might not bring up what your friend wants, David.

G.  Cooking is not my favorite activity!  And we're having April showers
to bring the May flowers!

[lace-chat] Frog spears

2006-04-07 Thread Jane Viking Swanson
Hi Again,  While the anti-virus updates I'll add the one item I forgot in
the last message.  I got to see the Cottonmouth Frog Spear which is a long
tube with a trigger at one end.  I guess it works like a blow gun but you
don't have to blow into it.  It has a range of 25 feet!  I'll have to Google
it again because I don't know what it shoots.  Poison darts?
