Hi everyone
A percolator forces water up a spindle then comes back *down* through the

forces the water *up* through the filter basket, and into a reservoir on

Railroads
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5
inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used?
Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates
built the US Railroads.

Was the news report that George Bush had announced that New Orleans will be

companies can happily refuse to pay on "Act of God" grounds. I also

Well whether the feds pick up the tab or the insurance companies pick up
the tab, the American taxpayers will ultimately pay for it. If it's the

Well, once again you have outdone yourself, you seem to do that every month.
The glass bobbin will be cherished and on my pillow tonight, the beads and

spangles or a necklace, either way, I love them.

Hi All, I think George Bush wants to rebuild New Orleans "whatever the
cost" but the Congress and Senate from both parties don't seem so sure.
And, as written here already, the US taxpayers are the ones to pay for it
one way or another.
DH and I have to get flood insurance from FEMA every year.
Dear Secret Pal in Australia
Thank you so very much once again for the lovely gifts.
The parcel arrived on a day that I was not working just before I met the
children from school - the chocolate was eaten before I reached the school
gate and then I felt VERY guilty!!
The soap went into the bathr

I was very excited when I got your parcel today. I thought I was going to the
