variegated thread on a cone?
ok...i know after i post this i'll google and find what i'm looking for, but
here it goes... I need a large amount of rainbow variegated thread...i've only ever seen it on relatively small spools, but i know i'll need a lot to finish this project, so i'm hoping to get a cone, figuring it will be cheaper than buing many small spools. have any of you seen such an animal? ************************************ Kristen L.

Kristen, there's a deeply imbedded proof-reader strain in me. It was scared
into me by a terrifying 9th grade typing teacher and got worse over the years. If it is not terribly rude of me to ask, why do your posts ignore the capital " I "? If this is something young people do and I'm just not "with it", I really will try to adjust. It is so hard for me to pay attention to what you're saying when some of my brain is wanting to hit the backup key. Please bring me (gently) up to date. If I can learn to send email and operate the coffee pot, maybe I can understand. I truly mean to ask this sweetly, I just am without a clue. Polly "Kristen L.

Polly, my beloved son (who is *not* an ignorant slob) writes both
handwritten letters and emails with no caps, and sometimes no punctuation. It drives me nuts, but I've learned to get past the surface and enjoy the essentials of his letters. Yes, it's a modern trend. There isn't a thing we can do about it. Pardon me while I go into a quiet corner and scream about how the world is falling apart, and what happened to simple courtesy and manners, and nothing is like it used to be, and what ever happened to ................... -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo, who is never going to give up capitalization and using punctuation. If it ain't broke, you're not trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. --Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools. --Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. --Carolyn McCarty "Polly Esther" wrote in message ink.net...

Sorry...
It's me being lazy. Half the time I go back and fix them, often I don't think of it. I never took any typing courses and so there was never anything drilled into me in that regards. so, when I'm typing, the shift key is not natural. If i'm posting on a message board that has a preview screen I'm more likely to go back and fix them, because I do see how bad it looks...here I usually just type a message out quickly and hit send. Though I've read that in handwriting the use of a lowercase "i" is a sign of low self esteem...wonder if it works the same way in typing? g I know what you mean about not being to pay attention to the content of a post because of some grammatical/style issue of the writer. My issue is with people who can't spell...I mean truly can't spell and don't use spellcheck...or they don't know the difference between sight/site... there/their/they're... weather/whether...where/wear/we're. I've seen some convoluted sentences, no punctuation, etc. and it drives me nuts. I try to keep my posts coherent (though last night I had already had a couple of cocktails but that capital "I" is one that usually slips right by me. So, there's my confession...I can admit when I'm wrong I promise I'll make more of an effort G Kristen "Polly Esther" wrote in message ink.net...

This is actually an interesting issue. Yesterday I listened to a lecture by
a German political scientist on American-European perceptions of each other and the feeling in the rest of the planet that American culture (or lack thereof) is taking over. After pointing out that nobody twists any arms to force anybody to eat disgusting junk food or watch brainless action movies, he said that a large percentage of today's classical music performers and literature writers come from the U.S. And one reason we have so many American writers, he said, was because university students are taught to write. European universities apparently assume their students already know how. But I have large doubts about this statement! Roberta in D "Kristen L.

Hullo Kristen
At the risk of sounding terminally patronising, can I say how much I applaud your attitude to this. I was silently cheering as I read through your piece. Good for you. ..

Thank you, Kristen, for such a nice answer. I've managed to toss a great
deal of my perfectionist bits aside. It is so much easier, however, for us old biddies to read when we're not putting white-out on our monitor screens.
