vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from Kathy N-V :
]The world is going to Hell in a handbasket, and I'm at ]the head of the parade.
Kathy - all my relatives except my children think that way about me, too.
]Obligatory Bead Reference: When Mom walked in the door, she had a concerned, ]almost worried look on her face. I asked her what was wrong, in the hope ]that it wasn't serious. My "Momdar" must be totally off - it turns out that ]she didn't have the "right kind of black necklace, and could I make one ]before she goes out the following evening." ] ]Fortunately, I had a three strand firepolished number, dripping with Bali and ]Karen Tribe silver. Mom's outlook on life perked up considerably.
LOL!!!!!!!
