How can I convert vintage yarn in an old crochet pattern?

I want to make a pair of vintage bedroom slippers. The pattern calls for 2 oz. Zephyr Wool and a No. 8 celluloid hook. Can anyone help me decide what modern-day yarn & hook would give approximately the same gauge? (P.S. This is Myrna, not James. Tried to change the name but couldn't.)

I'm sick of online dating because when I meet the guy, there's no chemistry?

What kind of freon does a 2005 chevy equinox use?

All cars made since 1994 (if I recall right) use R134a. I strongly advise you to take it to a professional. It is much easier to damage the compressor with the mess-it-up-yourself recharge kits than to properly charge the system. I didn't have the heart to answer the question from the asker who ignored my advice last year and ended blowing the head off the compressor. He was asking how to fix it....

Why are us Australians always so #$%# negative and always complaining about stuff?

About 97% of questions I see on here are from ranting, raving, noisy, complaining people with some minor gripe about the weather, or spiders, or people that arrived on a boat, or bad manners at the salad bar, or bogans, or public transport, traffic james, birds, spiders, sour milk,etc., why can we not be more tolerant and accepting like me, you wont find me sending back a soup in a restaurant just because the #$%# waitress dropped it on the floor, last week I was walking thru the park and got warm dog chocolate on my best slippers and pajamas but not a complaint passed my lips..I just wiped it off with my hankie and bid the dogs owner a cheery good afternoon and moved on, sometimes when planes fly over my caravan it wakes me up in the middle of a nap but I dont complain because I know that would be un-Austrtalian,some days I just walk around smiling at strangers, so instead of getting all warped and angry and taking out your frustrations here on YA just take a deep breath and a bex and relax you will find that your problems are not really problems at all, cant we all just make a bit more effort to get along?
