Per CNN, 4 new variants on the MyDoom virus have surfaced in the last 24 hours. Your anti-virus software may not catch these. Reminder: Don't download/open anything that you are not 100% sure of what it is and who it came from. If you have any doubts, ask the sender. -- Finished 7/18/04 -- 6...

Is there a website somewhere that will show me the basics (in one syllable words) of needlepoint? I've found the cutest small stockings that I want to do as a Christmas gift for my Host when I stay in England. It's disgustingly sweet, but one says "London" with an outline of Big Ben, a Union Jack...

http://photos.yahoo.com/bobbieviorritto/album/576460762359127840 The above has photos of Kaito's visit. Ayako and Chris were here for 2 weeks and left to return to Japan today. There is a picture of our Cheryl (RCTN) and her Ellice as well as a 5 generation photos of our family. Also I charted...

Got a little cold earlier this week. Congested, tight breathing. Got out the nebulizer and the Albuterol on Tuesday - haven't needed either of them in months. Nebulizer quit working on Thur. Drugstore doesn't carry them. Call pulmonologist office - assistant useless. Got on line, ordered one...

Start at 5:15 AM - I'm allowing myself 15 minutes to start the tea kettle 5:30 AM begin awakening DS for the first day of school. I expect this to be painful. 6:30 AM - watch him wobble down the drive to the bus stop. He wants so bad to ditch those crutches. 6:45 AM poke DD and DH to wake up....

Boy, the weather all over the place seems to have been wild lately. Karen has been having high winds and snow, Sheena and Cheryl and the other nor-easterners have had storm after storm, and today it's wind. The last three days have been amazing - we've set record high temps for this time of the...

Just for the heck of it, let me tell you the tale of woe about my crum-bum week. First I discovered that the headlight on the passenger side of my car is missing the plastic cover. Whether it just fell off, or someone needed the part (it's a 98 model) who knows, but it's going to cost over...

I went out with a couple of friends this morning to a Big Lots and found a really nice bargain. A 5" x 5" rather ornate pewter frame. Now I must have something to put in it. After all, I wouldn't want the poor little frame to stay empty, would I? What wonderful ideas do you have for me for...

Took my business computer to the repair shop for a regular maintenance to keep it reliable (can't run the business without it) and gave them one specific task to accomplish: acquiring a specific peripheral. Picked it up this morning. What I had asked for was not done. However, they "cleaned...

From time to time we get threads on boxes which are useful to store things like beads and sequins. My doctor has diagonized me as being a pre-diabetic, so I rountinely take blood sugar levels using a machine called a One Touch Ultra. The boxes the strips come in are well made plastic cylinders,...

For the past few weeks, a post has been turning up repeatedly on RCTN that AOL is discontinuing newsgroups. When I talked to a tech last week, I was assured that this was a hoax; no intention to discontinue them, and if they did, they'd send an official blue-bordered e-mail with the...

Ok, so what kinds of projects have you taken when you travel? I'm planning on taking a Floba Shoulder Bag and the pattern to stitch a Cat and maybe some beaded flowers or a dragonfly on it too. Can't make up my mind what to bead, but I must add beads! LOL Kim -- New! Wearable Stitching...

My EGA chapter just hosted Marion Scoular, an internationally famous teacher, designer, and lecturer. Her classes and lectures were wonderful plus she's a very delightful person. One of the snippets she passed on was to include a Stash Administrator in wills. This will send a signal to your heirs...

Speaking of uploading pics to rctnp, I just put some on the board -- a few I've done in the last couple of years. My favorites are Mares Eat Oats, after a song my mother used to sing, and the gift for my grandson, Evan -- the mouse reminded me so much of him before he walked much, when he'd raise...

at the most I used to put the date or the event on a piece. But I have a lot of things I've done around my house that have no date and no indication that I made them and I wish I'd done that. So.. do you sign your work and if so, in what way? Needle and thread with name? Needle and thread with...

Saw a story on the TV news last night about a Judge in Texas who sentenced a child molester to 320 hours of needlework (knitting). They definitely need to recall this judge: http://www.themonitor.com/PrintIt.cfm?Template=/GlobalTemplates/Details.cfm&StoryID=7983&Section=Valley Johanna

Well, it's that time again! what to get DD for her birthday (or anytime)? She has all the baby dolls she could need. Ditto stuffed animals, especially dogs. I've eyed the American Girl style dolls - would she really play with it? Were do I find more clothes? More books - only after we reduce what...

For your viewing pleasure, a picture and brief description of project that began life as an ad and became Belle Lefleur is now online at: http://home.comcast.net/~frugalfingers/belle.html Also up is a picture of my EGA seminar class project, Kathy Fenchel's Spring in a Paper...

Just had a nasty scare - some B*****d has been playing fast and loose with my credit card! Just been talking to Cahoot fraud department, who read me out a whole list of "purchases" - loads of them with an internet perfume company. Nice (understandable for a change) Indian chap. When he came up...
