Re: [lace-chat] new year
This year I am going to pamper myself. I can't be more specific because my needs may change from day to day. I may need to take a break and see a movie, or read a good book.

[lace-chat] Re: [lace] Continuing problems with AOL and others!
I ran into problems sending to AOL addresses in another group. The tech I talked with said it was because I had a business card attachment. Just a few days earlier I had no problems with sending to AOL. It coincided with AOL's decision to start attaching ads, etc., to emails. It could be that the unsubscribe tag is causing the bounces. AOL members are only allowed to send to a maximum of 10 people if even 1 of the addresses is to a Yahoo address. This went into effect at the same time.

Re: [lace-chat] Charles and Camilla
Actually, I think the fact that Lady Di is dead clears it in the eyes of the church. I know that's why the Catholic Church allowed my aunt to get married in the church. Her first husband died and they didn't count the husbands after him. History shows us that most of the monarch would be hard put to be "Defenders of the Faith" considering their indiscretions. If it's so terrible for the US to have a gay bishop, then it's also terrible that he and Camilla have been lovers for so long. Personally I think Charles should be skipped entirely and Will designated the heir.

Re: [lace-chat] Tulip Tree and Magnolia
The East Texas (and central) magnolias are like Betty Ann's. The next-door neighbors have one that is just outside my bedroom window (second floor). Smells lemony when in bloom.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal TY
Dear Secret Pal, Your package arrived safely yesterday. Thank you so much for all the goodies. The blown eggs arrived intact and are lovely. Now I definitely have to get one of those tree-like hangers to display them. I've been wanting one for years, so it looks like I'll get one for Easter. Alas, my DD confiscated the Kinder eggs. We discovered them when we visited Vancouver several years ago and she is a fanatic about them. I spent some time trying to translate the Dead Sea salts package before I noticed it was in English too. LOL The tiny appliques are adorable. I always welcome thread. A lacer can never have too much. I have never seen a bag like it was in. Again, many, many thanks. You are a superb Secret Pal.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks
Merci beaucoups, moi amie. That's about all the French I know and it's probably wrong. LOL I'm sorry to be so late in thanking you. I've had dental problems, a sprained ankle, and a crashed computer. Thankfully, everything is so much better now. I did receive the December packet. I sent a thank you about the time my computer decided to take a holiday, so I guess it didn't make it through. The stocking immediately went on the tree and the divider pin on the pillow. I used the bubbly in my bath Christmas Eve. The keychain is also in use. Is the eagle design on the Le Puy a coat of arms? My oldest son, his wife, and 2 daughters (12 and 7) were here for 2 days right after Christmas. They were properly awed when I showed them all the things you sent. I even shared the calissons with them. My daughter-in-law is so proud that now she s has eaten something from France. The sachet has been placed in my lingerie drawer. The zipper bag is delightful; the candies delicious. The coiffes on the postcard are really something. They look like they would be hard to wear. The Santa will go on my tree next year. It looked skimpy this year because I could only find one box of my ornaments. Wouldn't you know it--we found the missing box when we were storing the Christmas stuff this month. I love looking at the lace on both the calendars and hope I will someday to make some that beautiful. I m a firm believer in aromatherapy and the wands are great! You've have certainly been good to me. Thank you so much.

My dear Secret Pal, France, eh? Land of perfume and lace, cheese, bread, and wine! Thank you so much for the goodies. The octopus is so cute. I'll have to watch that my grandchildren take it home with them when they come to visit. I'm looking forward to trying the prunes in my tea. The tiny bobbin is already on a chain waiting for me to wear it. The scented wands smell so good! I introduced my DD (23 yrs old) to aromatherapy and she in turn has me hooked on lip gloss. She is begging me for the witch to add to her keychain collection. Maybe if she's really, really nice to me... I tried reading the words on the bag to her and she says my pronunciation of French is atrocious. Hah! It's as good as my German lol. She's fluent in Russian and has taken French also. My 2 sons deal with the German and I'm left with the Spanish. I guess we are a multi-lingual family. We also speak English and American. My 2 little dogs send lots of kisses to you and your cat. By the way, you can keep the wallabees over there. We have some in our zoo, but I don't think any have escaped. Again, thanks so much for such a delightful package.

My daughter's Russian host family gave her a beautiful woolen shawl. She tried washing it in cold water, but the red from the design ran onto the cream background. It was line-dried.

Re: [lace-chat] Books - Fanny Hill
What on earth are you thinking, Jean? Put a "classic" in a plain wrapper! It's research, don't you know. LOL While studying 'Moll Flander's in my English Lit class in college, the professor mentioned that there was another book of this genre whose name he couldn't even mention, lest he be fired. This was in 1969 and he and I were the only ones in the class that knew which book. Compared to TV and books today, I found nothing explicit in 'Fanny Hill.' Same course we read an abridged version of Clarissa by Richardson. We were told that there was a "racy" passage in it. If so, I never noticed it. Of course, I fell asleep about every 2 pages, so I could have missed it. Anne in Austin TX ---Original Message--- From: Jean Nathan Date: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 16:08:14 To: Chat Subject: [lace-chat] Books Back in the 1950s there were a couple of court cases concerning two books - 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' and 'Fanny Hill' (the latter very explicitly described the life of a courtesan) - to try and get them banned because some considered them both to be obscene. ... I never managed to get hold of a copy of Fanny Hill as it was considered far more daring and copies sold as soon as they hit the shops. ... Then today, nearly 50 years later, while browsing in one of the remainders shops, there was a paperback copy of 'Fanny Hill'. It's now classed as an 'erotic classic'. So I just had to buy it to find out if the fuss in the 1950s was warranted. Haven't started reading it yet, but I feel that, if I'm going to read it in public, I might just have to put a plain brown wrapper on it.:-) Jean in Poole To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
