Carrie . . . Welcome to RCTN!
There are very few real "flame" wars here. We can, at times, get into some heated discussions on social issues. But there's rarely any personal attacks. If you don't like the subject matter, you just skip the thread. g There are a few people that you learn - over time - never to read. But only a couple. Tell us about your needlework interests. Lots of very talented people post and lurk here. Dianne Artchick wrote: "Gillian Murray" wrote in message news I did a few days back, and it was hilarious. Then the NSDMIL had a yarn question ( I told her it wasn't the right yarn,and there was insufficient, but what do I know??) So I courteously asked a question today on rcty. No response. Hi, visiting from rcty (where I must admit, I haven't been terribly long) - until today, I didn't know this group existed. You have 4 answers to your question over there, btw - I didn't know an answer myself, or I'd have given one. I mostly work with Wal-Mart yarn, which is pleasantly cheap and what I spin myself, so yours wasn't familiar to me. I'll keep poking through here, if no one minds, because I do dabble in embroidery just a bit. But I hope that you'll not be too upset with me if I say that with this being the first thread that pops up here, and all the posts that look like blanket slamming of darn near everyone in both groups over there, I'm a little nervous to be here - I sort of feel automatically unwelcome. Carrie - after as much knowledge as I can get, but not comfortable with flames at all. |

I have searched the Caron site, and Ebay, without too much luck. I suspect it has been discontinued for so long, that there wouldn't be any around, unless someone was clearing out an attic!! Welcome to rctn, glad to have you with us. Gillian |

It would be great if after all this unpleasantness that we had some positive outcomes with new friends. You didn't, like I and the other Lynne, accidentally cross-post. Please stick around; sometimes it gets a little rowdy, but we all like some form of stitching. Anyway, I used to be a big crocheter myself, but don't yet know how to knit. I like regular embroidery and cross-stitch and even felt applique. I am just ordinary, though; you wouldn't believe how skilled some of these folks here are. They have a wealth of knowledge and are more than willing to share. And you can always find someone to commiserate with you when you mess up! Lynne -- handing over cup of coffee |

Mind you, Mary - she does provide us with some good laughs(quite unintentionally, I`m sure!). ....... True, true -- I just advocate reading to see which dead horse she's beating but not responding! That just pours fuel on her fire :-)))! CiaoMeow ^;;^ .. PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ Queen of Kitties Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their WHISKERS!! Nothing is complete without a few cat hairs! |

I say we all give a heave-ho to MJ ... she's with a group now who can't
quite know her yet as they're still falling for her 'poor me' routine. Too bad in the long run cuz I think we all know she's a very brilliant woman who has a lot to offer if she'd just get over that 'holocaust syndrome'. Okay Karen - what was dinner? You weren't sucking on floss again, were you? :-) Sharon (N.B.) .................................................. ........................... ........ "Karen C - California" wrote in message ... In article et, "Gillian Murray" writes: The a**kissing that went on over there was about enough for me op go and upchuck. For you it was about enough. I actually did. Now, I'm sure some people would want to blame that on what I had for dinner, but I don't think so. If I ever catch any of you osculating my posterior to that degree, I'll sic my friend who wears Army boots on you! Seanette, dear, if the RCTY/M crowd annoy you that much, don't play with them any more. We like you here just fine. They're welcome to Mirjam; we've all figured out how to killfile her, and the more obnoxious she gets, the more people will actually use that knowledge. Eventually, she'll figure out that over here she's talking to a brick wall and she'll go back where she's treated like God and we won't have to listen to her rabid drivel any more. F-off, Mirjam, or I'll throw my black cat in your path, and then you can lump me into your ubiquitous Elizabeth/Salem/witch theory. You might be surprised how many bad things I can make happen to people who annoy me. -- Finished 12/14/03 -- Mermaid (Dimensions) WIP: Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe, Guide the Hands (2d one) Paralegal - Writer - Editor - Researcher http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |

I see I am promoted from Cow to Madam though. I expect Elizabeth and I are in the same box, what with Elizabeth the Witch and Lucretia the Poisoner and me a Dalek lover too. How can things be worse?
