how do they do it?

I don`t mind long waits either - I like "people-watching". On the other hand I usually find someone to chat to even if only to sigh over the long wait - which often moves on to far more interesting conversations!

I can understand that. There is definitely a time and place for straight from the bottle or can - especially for me when we're standing in some frigid parking lot post hockey - must have liquid replenishment. It just would strike me as so incongruous with these very dressed, over made-up young women - and then - wham - up goes the bottle.

James , you are right , i rarely see men knit or crochet in public. But i saw men carving [ with a knife , which seemed quite dangerous to me in a mooving train]. Once in a train , after i pulled out my knitting /crochet , and the two other ladies there did the same, the

4th person on those chairs , a man smiled and pulled out an embroidery,, the smiled and said " i am sureYOU ladies would understand ". The second time was in a Hospital waiting room , where a HUGE man was sitting and embroidering a table cloth. I saw men knitting amongst the Jewish people who came from Ethiopia, it seems that there men knit women don`t or rarely do. One of my friends` had a knitting father and he would do it in the general Assembly of our Moshav. He knitted sweaters socks , etc,,, He learned it during WW while he was in hiding. One of my Great Uncles supported his Hiding time by knitting socks, which his hiding people sold. I admire your bravery of doing it in public , Wellcome to the club. mirjam
