I was hearing about the "on again, off again" storms for

Part of the "medical check:" before they are allowed in
the vat shed. These days though, what with "PC" and all
that, the virgin thing is just a signing of a "stat dec".
Who said jobs wouldn't be lost in a "PC world".
I reckon there are a whole raft of out of work
"virgin 'inspectors'"????
Then again, maybe not such a bad thing as likely (down
the Hunter) they were all corrupt anyway..!!

Would but a hell of a twist on the tannins.
Probably turn good grape into something akin

I am kinder thinking of a wider audience than Usenet.
Nothing works better than a pretty picture??
But, in essence, you are quite correct, again :-)

And no doubt relevant to the shades of background fabric.
Still, I well recall a cousin drooling over the colours on those
dress pattern envelopes and then trying to buy that exact same
material.
She became a graphic designer and was quite successful..
before the babies started coming<g>

Bottom line here (in ABCP) is the 'need' by those reselling designs
downloaded. and the reason why I ceased building charts for
sets with them missing.
As you say.. those that want them as a guide will find them.

Not questioning you in wondering is it really that low a number?

And Daffy Duck?
All "prime colours", so no problem?

The "pre-school system" is already affecting her education. Mostly
positive, though the bullying has been a bit rife. The school is right
onto it but just it happening is confusing her. Something very foreign
in her world.
Seems the majority today are a pack of ferals.. even at the prices
charged. There is where subsidies for the lazy and/or manipulative
gets society.
