I just wanted to say thanks to everybody who offered advice and ideas about what an LNS should offer. I've been out of touch this week because DS was off school two days with a high fever, and then the internet connection went out, and required a service call. Everything, including DS, is now up...

There is a website which I think is from a magazine and I think it is based in the UK. In any event, they had some free patterns, one was a jack in the beanstalk, one was a topiary sampler. I think they also ran monthly contests. Does anyone know which website this is? TIA Marilyn

I know *someone* wanted this pattern when I was through with it - can you contact me about it? Linda

The new free download is available at www.jaenne.com. It's a lovely Victorian child image. I welcome comments and suggestions. Jaenne

And quite grateful to be here. We drove down to Philly to have Seder with DH's extended family. His family didn't make a big deal out of it; both of us had only been to Seders in college. (the one I went to was quite a dour affair) The kids really enjoyed it as the whole evening was quite...

Having enjoyed reading some of the humerous postings on this newsgroup I thought readers might enjoy this contribution, originally sent to me by a friend in Australia: A young man called Ron wanted to buy his new girlfriend a Christmas present.
