Why Do YOU assume we wouldn`t believe your Aquaintance`s answers.
As a matter of habit, i always assume that people tell what they
really know, and
that i should respect their words as such. I am also open to the idea,
that in different places, people used different methods to make
armours. If you haven`t seen the kind i saw, and i haven`t [ i have in
reality but i am now giving a Hypothetical example] seen the kind you
saw , we might think that what we saw is the only kind. But this isn`t
how it is , I have over the years seen at least 3 different technics
made Armors, [maybe 4???] . I only saw them in digs [quite dirty] , or
in museum, not in reconstructed copies...
I believe you, that your husband is quite capable of doing many
objects, but there still exist some techniques in which other people
excell, and maybe your husband hasn`t met those. Nothing wrong with
that ,,, I knit , weave, crochet, sew, embroider etc,, i don`t make
macrame ,,,,,,,,, Does this make Macrame non existant ????
Ps i naaldbound with a bone, and with a stick , and with a clothpin.
i have seen and touched a naaldbound Toesock from Metzada [more than
2000 years old].
each of us, your curator friend, your husband you and me=3D, have seen
DIFFERENT things, and are better acknowledged with the things we
saw...

I don`t know if you have a vendetta, but it sure feels to me that you
have a kick out of opposing everything i say.
You even had the Unbelievable idea, of suggesting to me in your
private letter that i ahouldn`t open your letters, because you have my
good in your heart...
You even posted here , a very offensive post against me and my
culture.
And now you wonder why some people feel you have something against
me?

Both in other things as in that Horrid question you showed everybody
here what parts of history you `preffer`. >

Knowledge isn`t a matter of belief ...

Ps it is YOU mary who constantly Hint that others know Less than you ,
i keep saying that others know DIfferent things,,,
You remind me of the 10 blind men who walk in a line and meet an
elephant,, one says the elephant has a tiny tail, one says it has big
feet , one says it has a big TOE ,,,,,
My elephant has all the parts even some parts i never saw ,,, your
elephant seems to have only one part , the part that you can touch.

That doesn't surprise me at all Chris and is something I considered the
last time this sort of nonsense started. How on earth we expect to have
any kind of peace elsewhere when we can't even have it on a small sewing
group is beyond me!
It seems as though the word tolerance is meaningless.

Bernadette as you know i enjoy writing and sharing many knitting
crocheting weaving and art things,
This doesn`t mean that any person has the right to say racial/ or
religious things about me,
i didn`t start jumping on that person , she does and i try to avoid
it ,, but there are limits.
