[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks

2006-06-22 Thread Maxine Diffey
To My secret Pal in England
 
Your parcel arrived today, and DH brought it down to work for me after
lunch - what a surprises, as ever.  
 
The miniature bobbins are so cute, and I love the wee embroidery kit.
The lace on the postcard and card is mind boggling... definitely
something to aspire too!  I hope your wee motif is as lovely.  Thank you
for the doily patterns. I must get back to my pillow now my DD's
tablecloth is finished.
 
Your comment about conquering your "fear" of leaves is a bit of a give
away, so I may have worked out who you are before next month, as I can
remember your comment in a posting. :-)
 
HHHhhmm - OIDFA conference in Japan in 2010 - that's a bit closer
than Greece.  It's worth a thought and some saving.
 
Once more, thank you and I look forward to the final round next month to
see if my detective work is accurate.

[lace-chat] :-) Why men are happier

2006-06-22 Thread Jean Nathan

Your last name stays put
The garage is all yours
Wedding plans take care of themselves
Chocolate is just another snack
You can be president
You can wear a white t-shirt to a water park
You can wear NO t-shirt to a water park
Car mechanics tell you the truth
The world is your urinal
You never have to drive to another gas station because "this one's 
just too icky"

You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt
Same work, more pay
Wrinkles add "character"
Gray hair is considered "distinguished"
People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them
The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.
New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet
One mood, ALL the time
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat
A five-day vacation requires one suitcase
You can open all your own jars
You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness
If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend
Your underwear is .95 for a three pack
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough
You almost never have "strap problems" in public
You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes
Everything on your face stays its original color
The same hairstyle may last for years...even decades
You only to have shave your face and neck
You can play with toys all your life
Your belly usually hides your big hips
One wallet and one pair of shoes...one color, all seasons
You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look
You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife
You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24, in 45 
minutes

No wonder men are just happier!!
