In doing so I lost my day off- the RM never showed.<br /><br />So they came on Friday and passed the parcel through the cat flap. Exactly as they might have done in the first place. <br /><br />As a former M+S employee, I will say that they should know better. They probably do. But they've changed quite a bit in the last year and 'modernized' in a way that I find slightly distasteful.Anna Livianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-31139173338721241052011-10-08T20:45:22.619+01:002011-10-08T20:45:22.619+01:00Re adoption, my sister and I were both adopted as ...Re adoption, my sister and I were both adopted as infants in the 1950's, we had good friends who were as well. I often think how different things would have been if abortion were legal back then.....<br /><br />Re The Yarnery, it's one of the nicest shops in the Twin Cities, a metro area full of many yarn shops that I enjoy visiting any time I get there. It's about 250 miles away so we get there several times a year.Maureen in Fargonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-12822314958594700612011-10-08T14:44:09.260+01:002011-10-08T14:44:09.260+01:00I expect that many department stores want to deliv...I expect that many department stores want to deliver to keep some share of the business that online only shops get. When I lived in NJ I used to by things from department stores in Manhattan where I worked and have them delivered (free) to avoid sales tax. I think those days are gone. The Yarnery doesn't list all on line, but I'll see what is there and let you know.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-81488619477763309172011-10-08T12:29:39.445+01:002011-10-08T12:29:39.445+01:00I looked at KnitWear in my LYS the other day--beau...I looked at KnitWear in my LYS the other day--beautifully set up, mostly American designers, lots of variations on a theme (4 different sweaters, one basic pattern). It was $17, which I thought was a bit steep, but it IS a goodlooking mag.<br />Re Steve Jobs, I wonder if he realised how many knitters use his computers! So many blogs remembering. His putative birth father surfaced recently, claiming to want to meet him. I thought adoptions were fairly secret in the 50's.GrannyPurplenoreply@blogger.com
