The Goldberg Brothers - The Inventors of the Automobile Air Conditioner Here's a little fact for automotive buffs or just to dazzle your friends. The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max, invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946, the...

I tried to post on Saturday, but the lines were bogged down by weekend campers, and a carrier pigeon would be faster! We are in New Hampshire, about 20 miles west of Concord. My FIL ( age 94) lives near here,so he is getting to see a lot of us, and we had a great Fathers Day dinner at a restaurant...

Not only did the kids start back to school within the last week, but I also finished Marbek's Garden Angel, which I had been doing for my 11-year-old daughter! Finally! :-) She has it gently tacked to her bedroom wall (at the edge of the fabric so it won't bother the stitched area) while she...

A little native American boy asked his father, the big chief of the tribe, "Papa, why is it that we always have long names, while the white men have shorter names like Bill, Tex or Sam, for example?" His father replied, "Look son, our names represent a symbol, a sign, or a poem for our culture -...

We don't have any children but we have encountered (and endured) other people's children so these five short items rang true: 1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up. 2. Grandchildren are...

Hi everyone, just checking in. It's going very well at my new job, and I have made my first purchace: poster pens and aveture cards (for Christmas). Was just wondering if any of you have been on another cross-stitch group called Cross Stitch...

One of my LNS specializes in cross stitch patterns and a very limited selection of speciality fibers and threads. Despite this failing eg, I still stop in occasionally. Yesterday, the clerks and I got to talking and both said they had had good experiences ordering interesting silks from...

De-lurking and popping in to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I hope all your wishes come true. Thanks for all the advice, hints and entertainment provided during the year. Louise Remove furballs to reply

Anyone doing this? I had lots of fun over the weekend using lots of specialty fibres that I had bought previously for other projects. It looks very pretty. I guess I had too much fun, 'cause I'm done all the stitches and have three long months to wait to go any further! Jeanine in Canada (who will...

Thanks, Marc I did find it on the Bonheur de Dames website. I'm wondering aobut the colors though--on your site, the "background" blue is very light and the whole piece looks clear and fresh as a watercolor. On their site the background is much darker and more...

I was at bowling last night and discussing cs with one of my teammates. She was telling me about a design she was working on and how she had goofed in one spot. When her DH asked her about following the pattern, she told him, "The pattern's just a *guide*!" I L'dOL about that and told her I had...

It came today!! Woo-hoo!!

When I signed onto my newsgroups on AOL this afternoon, I got a pop up message saying that I will soon not have direct access to this newsgroup. Of course, I can always go to google. However, it won't be as easy as it is now. AOL apologizes for this inconvenience. They gave no explanation as to...

Hi everyone, My name is Shannon and I am 21 years old. I have known how to cross stitch for about 2 years now but I only started to get into it more seriously over the past year or so. My other hobbies are watching movies (from the old black and white classics up to modern day) also listening to...

I've seen ornaments finished with a beaded edge instead of cording. Some have a single strand of beads attached to the perimeter of the ornament while others have what I can best describe as a jumble of beads around the perimeter. The single strands of beads appear to be seed beads and...

Annie isnt a story with a women in it so that was ruled out. Sure it is - evil Miss Hannigan was the orphanage keeper, and Miss Grace (?) was Daddy Warbucks' assistant. Jenn L. View My Webshots: http://community.webshots.com/user/jaliace Current projects: Chicago Skyline (The Needlecraftsman)
