[lace-chat] stone
Patty wrote: A stone is 20 US pounds. I was taught by some Catholic religious brothers in high school and Brother Samuel reported that he had gained some weight to his mother in a letter, but had used American weights, i.e. pounds and she was practically hysterical when she thought he had gained 10 stone! (200 pounds!) So how many US ounces in a US pound? I know that in the UK a stone is 14 pounds and there are 16 dry ounces in a pound. Also there are 100 US pounds in a hundredweight and in the UK 112 pounds in a hundredweight. The UK there are 20 fluid ounces in a pint and gallon is 8 pints. In the US there are 16 fluid ounces in a pint, and a US gallon is roughly 4 fifths of a UK one. Even teaspoon and cups measurements are different, and this can cause no end of problems cooking with a US recipe in the UK. Fortunately all my kitchen measuring equipment has both measurements on.

[lace-chat] Helen your thoughts please
Hi All Helen has been in touch this morning via email and has asked me to pass on her thanks to you all that have sent their wishes, she is finding a great comfort knowing that there are people out there wishing her well and thinking of her. I have passed on your emails and she has said that she will send you a message when she is able. Even though I have never met her we have been very close and it is also a help to me knowing that you are thinking of her and that with positive thoughts she will pull through. She told me this morning she is feeling a lot more chipper and her headache is gone. Thank you all once again.

Re: [lace-chat] stone
In UK 16 ounces = 1 pound 14 pounds = 1 stone but are the UK ounces the same as US ounces? A UK ounce = 28.3495 grams, so 1 pound = 453.592 grams, and 1 stone = 6350.288 grams or 6.350288 Kg Brenda On 22 Aug 2008, at 04:29, Dearl Kniskern wrote: dear lacers what is the equivalent for american pounds for stone in weight thanks yours in lace Dearl Christiansburg, Virginia, USA My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

[lace-chat] Germany, France Switzerland
Hello! Next week my husband I are leaving for a trip to Germany, France Switzerland. We are going to be staying in Karlsruhe, Paris Bern. Are there any great stores in these areas that we absolutely should not miss? Other than lacemaking, I am interested in jewelry my husband is interested in CDs. It appears from what I've been able to find on the internet that stores in these areas are not in operation on Sundays?
