Thot I'd drop in and say 'h'!

It depends a lot on how private you want to be Never be fooled about all their settings, they don't mean squat. After a precise lesson by a nerd, I wanted no part of it. There are other ways to connect, I wanted to write to my friends sister (my friend died a couple of years ago) and all I knew was her married name and that she moved to Wales from the Cotswolds. I put his name into google, and Wales and he immediately showed up at a school there. I emailed them and fully expect them to do as I ask and contact her and ask her to get in touch with me. We'll see. |

I also dislike FB. I was not even tempted to join.
I'm not sure what's even on there now. I think in the "olden days" it was where people posted pix of folks and chatted with friends and family. I'm guessing now it's full of ads/etc. and troll-ridden. mb |

Kathy is semi-retired from Livermore Labs. Her acting, dancing, church choir, and volunteering with the Livermore Police Department seem to take up a lot of her time. I haven’t seen her for probably 3 years. She was in ND and Montana while I was enjoying a trip to the UK with my sister, her husband (and 44 others) in 2016. I knew she was singing in the Livermore Opera Com; guess she still is - but I didn't know she'd branched out into dancing and acting, too! Go, girl! She does fabulous needlework. One day she was over stitching with me, and my ex said to me as he was passing by where we were sitting, "Why is her [ML-I] angel facing a different way [from the pattern]?" Guess what? He was looking at the *back* of her work. Sigh....... mb |

I said I didn't have a line to Buck House, but I would be quite amazed if it were so as having made their engagement announcement, it must be a pretty sure thing. Then suddenly thought to ask her where she saw that, thinking National Enquirer or something, but it was FB I feel Zuckerberg has a lot to answer for and hope he gets algorithms going before your next election! |

Your post prompted me to come out of lurking. I remember your articles on knot stitches in Just Cross Stitch mag. being a big help to me at the time.
I am no longer doing cross stitch, having branched into various types of surface stitching. I think doing knots prompted me to get into embroidery with textures. However it is nice to see an old-fashioned chat group continuing. Discussions about our stitching interest without advertisements, pop up stuff or trolls. Sad to hear stitching festivals are declining in the USA. In July the New Zealand national embroidery school is happening in my town and we are all looking forward to it. We are expecting about 400 attendees so it will be great fun. |
