RE: [lace-chat] Warning
You know, since I got Vonage, they've never bugged me. I think they can't find me. ;) They haven't been bothering me low-powered T-Mobile cell phone number, either. I DO have both on the U.S. do not call list. Once you put your name on that, marketers can't call you, except under certain circumstances. They can call you if you've done business with their company in the past two years. Also, certain categories are exempt from the law. Political campaigns can call you, and market/ opinion research people can call you. Usually if you ask to be put on their own do not call lists they will comply. There is actually a very simple way of dealing with them, unless you actually enjoy picking up the phone and trying to give them indigestion, which will really do more to give you indigestion, since they have a job to do and thick skins. I know as I've been them. Anyone who can't handle being yelled at by people has a different job. Some of them ARE forbidden to hang up on you, though, so they'll sit there and listen to you cuss for as long as you wish to waste your breath. And ESPECIALLY, don't trouble calling back to yell at who whose number you don't recognize called your phone. LOL! Honestly! If you don't want to be bothered, don't answer the phone, and don't be bothered! Get caller ID, and then don't pick up the phone if you don't know who's calling. If they've a legitimate reason to call you, they'll leave a message on your voice mail, and you can call them back, and thereafter you'll know who they are. My cell phone tells me who people are by name if I have them in my address book.

[lace-chat] How do I find plain old 11 oz ceramic coffee mugs?
Suddenly plain ol 11 oz ceramic coffee mugs seem to have gone out of production - unless you're willing to order 12 of them at $4 apiece. I want plain, solid color mugs, with no logo or subtle logo, no photos, pictures of pets, or great big hearts. Can have nice neutral design like leaves or herbs, no flowers. Must be ceramic and not plastic. Must be 11 oz capacity and not 20 or whatever. Must have that squared base and not something exotic. I want royal blue, hunter green, maroon, brown, almond/bone/ivory - and not white. Marbled is alright as long as it is the same basic color on the inside and there is no gold whatever along the rim. I've even searched e-bay. Can anyone suggest how to find them? I know we've got some geniuses at finding things here. You all found me the white corningware dishes I needed.

Re: [lace-chat] Motorways
I done looked. Looks like the real problem you have is that you'd have to wrestle with the farmers whose fields new highways would have to pass though, as well as to widen the one that runs around London - if that's that thing to hte south of London that's three lanes wide each way. This is slightly less remarkable than the one road that runs from Austin to Houston - from the state capitol to the third largest city in the country, a distance of a little over a hundred miles. Road is one lane each way with no shoulder. Mind you, when everyone was stuck on it when they evacuated Houston for a hurricnane several years ago that detail was never mentioned in the media.And from the look of the map, the highway around London gets only slightly more traffic than the road from Austin to Houston! Seems like the road should be alot busier. But the road I'm lokoing at branches. I'm not finding just one big circular highway around London. Come on, the highway running from the edge of the old city to Northwest Austin is seven lanes wide each way. Kent is built up - with the same mix of big villages interspersed among the corn fields that covers all the land around London.

Re: [lace-chat] Motorways
That's true, one isn't suppsoed to ride a bicycle on the interstates - except that sometimes one doesn't have much of a choice, and I've seen it happen more than once that there was a choice, and the main Interstate through the middle of town is safer than its access road. In some parts of the suburbs one has to get on a superhighway to get from point a to point b, and ut;s the only at all fast method to get from my part of town downtown. Also the safer of two options.

That was abundantly clear -- that M road was actively hostile to bikes, and, as I said, when I found a chance to get off, I didn't care where the exit would take me as long as it was off the Motorway. US equivalents would be downright friendly in comparison, were it not forbidden to go anywhere near them. There is a whole extra lane for getting disabled vehicles out of traffic on most Interstates, so until you come to an exit, riding beside an Interstate would be just like riding along a deserted road, except for the noise. The exits are considered an insuperable barrier to allowing bikes on Interstates, but they aren't any harder to cross than any other road -- and you need only one hole in the traffic, since the exits are one-way. (I don't attempt to cross the main street of this very small town except on streets that have traffic lights. You could wait *hours* for overlapping holes.) Not to mention that the exits are miles apart, and therefore much easier to deal with than the frequent intersections on alternate routes. But what we *are* hostile to is any hint of allowing bike riders to learn the rules of the road, and random behavior is, of course, riskier when there are more vehicles to blunder into.

Re: [lace-chat] Gas saving tips
I think this is when I'd break out the bicycle. You're paying through the nose for the gasoline to sit in one queue after another? On a bike you'd ride right past them, and no charge for petrol. There have been studies done of how they raise kids in parts of northwestern Europe to be this patient and rule-abiding.The alternative theory is that this is the genetic stock who were left behind after my less infinitely patient and obliging ancestors, who Y DNA is stelling us seem to have disproportionately been of Saxon stock, left for New England. Their specific reasons included lack of willingness to let others decide how they would worship, and impatience with medieval patterns of land ownership and fee structures. It's hard to imagine anyone putting up with any of this, nor with the traffic conditions Jean describes.Yet from what I've seen on PBS I believe every word of what she says. Yes, I'm middle aged too, and I actually get around by bicycle and when I can't avoid it, the bus. In Austin, if I want to ride into town, it's 20 miles, and work is 5 miles. Actually in the U.S., the roads are specifically designed among other things to avoid this sort of thing, and even to avoid the need for traffic lights. They even have intersections designed with turn lanes and special traffic lights so that cars turning left and right don't get in the way of cars going straight - whcih is literally murder for bicyclists. I have often thought that alien visitors to this planet would gawk at the lengths and engineering feats that humans go to to construct fast roads with no intersections - which surely would impress aliens whose solution after all is vehicles that travel through air and space. Tehre was a recent scene where Austin's mayor got into it with the driver of a truck who was blocking the street, and I think the truck driver faced a ticket or something. The truck wasn't supposed to be there; there is a careful schedule of when specifci sorts of large trucks downtown are allowed to do what. For instance, there's alot of construction going on, and of course big trucks go in and out of the sites, but they're only allowed to do that during off hours or something. The rest of the time they make srue that cars can get down the streets.

The biggest debate is on whether to have the petrol tank empty or full. Seems scientifically the amount you lose in evaporation in a tank which isn't full negates the amount you use with the extra weight of a full tank. So it doesn't matter. With unleaded petrol, seems it loses some of its strength after two weeks of sloshing about in the tank, so if you don't do much mileage (like me) it's more economical to buy fuel as you need it rather than keep a full tank. One of our newspapers has reported where the cheapest fuel is, and some idiots are using more fuel to go buy the cheapest than they are saving. The chap who put cooking oil in his tank says it's OK to put 5% cooking oil in his Land Rover, but then we don't want land currently producing food converted to producing food.

(Remember we drive on the correct side of the road - the left :-D). Four changes of traffic lights finally got me through the cross roads because of the number of vehicles who had been in the queue. Went at a 40 mph for half a mile and joined the queue to filter left at the next set of lights. Joined the single line queue of traffic (one lane coned off for road works).

I now live on the west coast of Canada but before that I lived in Portsmouth on the south coast of England. When I used to work just outside Portsmouth, I cycled there but suffered several accidents of one sort or another and was happy not to have to do that any more once I could afford a car. My last job was mostly in New Malden in Surrey (near Wimbledon) which was a 65 mile drive. If I was on the road by 5:30 in the morning, I could do the trip in 45 minutes door-to-door as it was mostly motorway or dual carriageway (and no, I may not have stuck to the speed limit!) If I left much later, it could take up to 4 hours. Driving home on a Friday afternoon in the summer was a nightmare with all the traffic heading for the coast, even using 'rat runs' around Hindhead (the main slow area by the time I left). Until my job required me to work a lot of extra hours, there used to be a group of 4 of us who would commute - someone to talk to when you are stationary in a queue of tr affic! A lot of people use public transport in the big cities but outside it just isn't available a lot of the time. Growing up on the border of Bedfordshire/Cambridgeshire/Hertfordshire, we had no bus service to our county town (Bedford - where I used to play hockey) or my school town (we had a special school bus) or most other places. There were a couple of buses to Cambridge if you were willing to walk to the main road to get to it. Now, my recently widowed mother, living in the same village, doesn't even have that level of service with public transport. There are no buses to the nearest railway station and the nearest taxi (and I would dread to think how much they would charge) is 5 miles away. I can't comment on all areas but the ones I am familiar with (and nearly all my family members live in rural areas scattered around the UK) have very poor or non-existent public transport available. My first summer job was in Cambridge and I went in each day by bus. Though it was o nly 15 miles usually, the trip would take over an hour as the bus wended its way around all the intermediate villages. Still, it was my only option at that time. People here in the Vancouver area talk about heavy traffic but I have never seen anything close to the traffic jams in England. Looking at a map and measuring distances is one thing, looking at what the roads are like and where the route takes you is another. Then you have to add how many people are trying to use the same route and the differences between England and North America become apparent. Here in North America I have had occasion to work (and commute) in Massachusetts, California, British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec and I have yet to witness anything like the traffic conditions in the UK (I worked in Edinburgh for a while as well). The 'grid system' in bigger towns and cities here also help getting through them as there tend to be alternative routes if there is an accident or something. One other comment - a US gallon is smaller than an imperial gallon. That doesn't mean that prices over here aren't a lot lower (and even more so in the US) but it is another factor to consider. Ever since I came here in 1997, it has worked out fairly accurately that I pay roughly the same price number-wise for petrol/gas as family members back in the UK, just with a different currency sign in front! As I said, I couldn't resist :-) Helen. On Sunday, June 01, 2008, at 10:54AM, "Dora Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Aren't walking and bicycling both more popular options in England than here?

Turning off the air conditionier and openning the windows also does not work -
allegedly. Now, I know that when they evacuated Houston a couple of years
ago cars running air conditioning had a much better chance of running out of

Re: [lace-chat] Re: [lace] Postage costs
I've been doing some selling on E-bay, and a good amount of ordering online in general.There is some real variety in shipping rates. E-bayers often include all of the costs of shipping as a shipping cost, and a private individual or small home-based business may not pay the same inexpensive rates for shipping materials that large companies do. For instance, a padded envelope costs me a dollar. It may cost a big company a few cents. If people use adhesive labels, those cost atleast 50 cents apiece. A private individual selling off a few things that may be worth a little bit of money to raise funds is also going to be mroe worried than a large company about backing up the package against something going wrong, and will insist on buying insurance, proving they shipped it, and verifying delivery, and that sort of thing, and will not leave that up to the buyer, because of course someone who is going to commit fraud isn't going to pay out to protect the seller. You also have to realize that some people put part of the cost of shipping in the price of the item itself, to avoid having the shipping cost put people off, and others do not. I wonder if you also realize how expensive it is to ship things in general.

Carolyn: You can always tell anyone in writing to never contact you again, and if they do, file a complaint. I've worked in a call center. I've also worked for survey research firms. The problem could be that you told the wrong person - ie, told a subcontractor like a telemarketing company or a survey research company to tell the company to never call you again - and the person you spoke to had no means to do that. You have to write to the company directly, and tell them never to call you again - if that is how you feel. What if you have to call them about a problem with the product you bought?

Re: [lace-chat] How to replace corningware dishes
I just realized I've been answering Alice privately. The dishes do look very similar. However the smaller plates I'm trying to replace are 7 1/2 inches across rather than 9 inches. The plates say underneath Corningware Tableware Casual China made in China. I had assumed that if they are corningware they are glass? Apparently not? These plates are thicker and heavier than the similar styled white corelleware I've seen around. They do break more like porcelain, but if so it's a harder sort than china usually is.

I know there are people on this list who like to keep on using their hands, and I bet some of them have joint and tendon problems in their hands. I need a good thumb and wrist brace, for wrist and thumb tendonitis, thumb arthritis, and snapping thumb. Supporting and keeping from extremes of range of motion the wrist and base of thumb would be good enough. Brace must allow just enough range of motion in the thumb joints to type and mouse, but not let the distal joint - the thumb joint fartherst from the hand - snap. Many spica braces don't really protect that joint. I have to be able to use thumb and fingers to scoop out bird seed - all of that. Ability to ride a bike too would be just boss - but I ahve an idea that is asking too much. Brace also has to be not too bulky to type with it.

[lace-chat] Are cloves cloves, or cloves of garlic?
In the following recipe, I am learning that the meaning of the word clove is not clear. Does it refer to cloves, or to cloves of garlic? The recipe is that for Spanish-rice Skillet, on p 174 of the current loose-leaf edition of the 1953 Better Homes and GArdens New Cook Book. Recipe calls for 4 whole cloves, then says to remove them after cookign along with the bay leaf. 4 slices bacon 1 cup chopped onion 1/4 coup chopped green pepper 2 10 1/2 or 11 ounce cans condensed tomato soup 1/2 cup rice 1/2 cup water 4 whole cloves 1 bay leaf 1/2 tsp salt Cut bacon in small pieces; fry until crisp in heavy skillet; remove bacon. Cook onion and green pepper in bacon fat until golden. Add remaining ingredients; cover tightly and cook slowly 50 minutes. Stir occasionally. Remove cloves and bay leaf; sprinkle crisp bacon over top. Makes 5 to 6 servings. Apparently some older recipes actually tell you to put in a clove of garlic, whole, and remove after cooking, and noone has ever heard of cloves in spanish rice.

Re: [lace-chat] :) They just can't help it
It's one of those urban legends that are just too good from the point of view of the creator to be too concerned about the specific facts. This one showed up on one of my church lists, too. We all had a good chuckle, until someone looked up the actual birth dates. The people listed actually aren't the most popular people in the world regardless of your political persuasion. They're all more or less peculiar, unlikeable people. Even Al Gore, who I actually find pretty likeable but who put on a deliberately arrogant air for his election campaign that bugged everybody. Hilary Clinton is an alien, huh?

Re: [lace-chat] Hair dye
PLEASE don't tell me noone on the lace chat list dyes their hair! Though I suppose it's a natural place to find alot of people into being sweet old ladies. Yours, Dora Smith Austin, TX [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Jean Nathan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Chat" Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2006 2:33 AM Subject: [lace-chat] Hair dye Not something I've ever been into. At 63 my hair is now naturally darker than when I was 20 (still have a hairpiece which matched then for comparison). Both my brothers are white, but I take after my mother who still only had about a dozen grey hairs when she died. I'd love to go grey. I'd never dye it. Even though I'd never thought about it, I was put off completely when we had our horses at the local livery stables, and one of the mothers, who used a non-permanent hair dye, stood in the rain with black hair dye running down her face. Total embarrassment. I am as nature intended.

[lace-chat] BEst hair dye and highlighting stragegies for hidden red
I am 49 years old, once had dark blonde hair, have alot of hidden red, and use Clairol dark ash blond and occasionally medium ash blond. Dark ash blond looks best but a little too dark, particularly in the winter. Medium ash blond comes out a shade too carroty.Both leave substantial red overtones. I had my hair cut and professionally dyed today. She used some dye from Barcelona, and she said it contains more developer and more coloring or something. She dyed the hair with dark ash blond except for the strands she dyed with medium ash blond, and it came out pretty good only just a tad carroty. What is the best strategy for me to achieve bright medium blond without the red, when dying at home? Yours, Dora Smith Austin, TX [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[lace-chat] What kinds of material suitable for making spring and summer dresses don't wrinkle?
I got a sewing machine and some patterns, want to make some shirt waist and princess style dresses. Since I ride a bicycle, I need clothes that aren't wrinkled by the time I rode down the street. All the material I looked at at Hancock and Joanne fabrics and Walmart wrinkled - except for one particular rack of cotton that the salespeople could not tell me how it differed from the other cotton. The cotton-polyester blends were crisper and just as wrinkly. Most of the synthetic fabrics don't breathe well enough to wear in Austin in the summer. Don't they still make permanent press? How do you locate actual fabric that is wrinkle resistant? Yours, Dora Smith Austin, TX [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: [lace-chat] Soduku
You need an analytical mind for soduku. I don't know you aren't doing this, but if I understand the game correctly, each number can only be used once in a row or column, or something, so you have to make a list at the end of each row and column of the possible numbers that can go in that row. If it is like other kinds of logic problems, if you look over the puzzle you should see one or two places where you can relatively easily deduce what number goes somewhere, and that narrows down your options elsewhere.

My daily paper has been running a series next to the crossword and I have become addicted to solving it before I start my day. My breakfast time is growing longer and longer as the puzzles progress in difficulty. The easy ones were a breeze to solve but now they are more difficult to do. After filling in the obvious spaces with the correct numbers from one to nine, I find that I have many spaces where multiple numbers can be used. Is there another way of looking at the puzzle to fill the blanks or do I just have to guess? If I do get frustrated and decide to guess, you can bet your life that I find that I have the same number already in that line. At that point I give up and decide to get on with my day. Any suggestions on how to approach the difficult puzzles will be gratefully accepted and tried. Janice -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

[lace-chat] Where can I find unbreakable Christmas tree balls?
I threw out all my Christmas tree stuff last summer because of a mold issue; starting over. I've always used those plastic balls with fine colored thread wrapped around them. This season I can't find any. Not in the supermarket, the craft store, Hobby Lobby, Target, nor Walmart. Where can I find them?

[lace-chat] Re: [lace] somebody made my PC sick - I'm sorry, but :
Always look up the specific virus on the web before you do anything else - this looks like a virus hoax, and they can have you deleting important files from your computer. Search google under the alleged virus name, or check on something like the symantech web site.
