Hillary Clinton is fast becoming as much of a "fair game" as lawyers and blondes; everyone seems intent on taking her down a peg. Most of the jokes I've heard/seen about her are either not very funny, or else simply replace her name for Bush's. But this one is different; it seems custom-made. And it is funny... From: J.P. Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the Gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times, caught by Pinkerton Detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889. Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary's staff of Professional Image adjusters sent back the following biographical sketch: "Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed." And THAT is how it's done, folks! -- 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]
Re: [lace-chat] Q, doing a cookie exchange
I used to belong to a group who did this every Christmas. The basic premise is that each person will go home with the same number of cookies that she brought, but she will have a variety. One key thingbring an empty container as well as the container with your cookies!!! Otherwize you won't have anything to put your share in, while waiting for your original container to be emptied. Put all the cookies on a table. Circle the table, taking a cookie from each container to put in your (empty) container. Continue circling until you have picked up the number of cookies that you brought. When you have your dozen, two dozen, three dozen etc, you are out of the circle. Limiting it to one or two cookies from each container for each trip around the table will give everyone a chance to get a full variety. (There's always the chance that someone will see their favorite cookie, and want to claim the whole plateful.) You can either specify that each person bring, perhaps, three (four? six?) dozen cookies. Or you can leave it open for people to bring one, two, three, four, five, or six dozen. A single person may only want one dozen in her house. A person with six kids would need many more. Martha's comment on listing ingredients is a very good suggestion, if you have anyone in your group with a food or diet limitation. Enjoy your exchange.

Re: [lace-chat] Q, doing a cookie exchange
As someone with allergies in the family, an ingredients list helps a LOT in knowing whether my kids can eat the item. Nuts, milk products, whey in the margarine, etc., are our problems; others have problems with eggs or wish to avoid all meat. -- -- Martha Krieg [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Michigan To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Q, doing a cookie exchange
Hi everyone Closer to Christmas I'd like to do a cookie exchange with family. It seems straightforward, bring x dozen cookies at 1 dozen per x other people bringing cookies. Question, as I've not done one before - to anyone who has done such an exchange, any tips, ideas, things to avoid? -- bye for now Bev on a sleepy autumn Sunday in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
