OT rcty

I do have a question. I *think* I remember comeone once saying that
spinning is hard on the hands -- dries out your skin, etc. Is this true?
That won't stop me from learning if I can find someone to teach me -- just
wanted to know :-).


My friend Beth who has a degree in spinning and weaving (yes, Southern
Illinois Univ. has that - or at least used to!) - says that flax is
very hard on your hands...it's a rough, tough fiber and will just tear
them up. Wool, on the other hand, is lovely to spin...all that
lanolin, you know! HTH clarify a little. Paula B.

Just like for $1000 I could buy (from a specialty shop) a VCR that plays both
US and European tapes, but my $59 WalMart special won't, the high-end DVD
players will play both, but the ones the average person buys won't

Karen,

My dh is a gadget junkie....we don't do cheap!

He went and bought a new DVD player recently because he wanted to play a
special Pink Floyd CD on it, one made specifically for 5.1 S.A.C. sound or
something like that. He's the junkie, not me afterall.

Try this instead if you are in US or Canada. This is in the NTSC format
whereas the one on amazon UK was PAL format.

Warning ... warning ... warning ... DVDs are coded by Region. What works in
London may not work on US players. The cheaper ones do not play anything
outside your Region. Some of the more expensive ones "may" play "some" from
outside the Region.

I don't know why anyone needs to wait. Just Born (manufacturer of the little
buggers) now makes them for every season. The heart shaped ones just popped
up to replace the cookie cutouts and snowmen that replaced the ghosts and
bats that replaced the red-white-and blue sparkly ones that replaced the
Easter version.

???????? what did I say? I don't remember mentioning anything at all about
alcohol -- just people who don't like chocolate and prefer MW -- poor,
delusional folks that they are (R&D&H). OOPS -- almost forgot :-))) :-)))

OK, I'll take the bait and fire the opening salvo.

With me, it depends on the gadget. I spend so little time watching videos/DVDs
that I have only one question when buying them -- "does it play?" Stuff that I
use more frequently, or am likely to need the bells and whistles, I'll go for
the extras.

I don't care much one way or the other about regular ones, but I
*love* the Cocoa Bats. :-)
