Find Ancestors

Bit of a mystery to me too this new message system. Sylvia told me on one thread by clicking on the member's name you get a short profile but doesn't seem to work for me.

Sorry Julia - not me.
What made you think it was ?

Not sure what you mean by new PM system, mine doesn't seem to have changed.
Hope you find your mystery emailer
Mike

Sure Michael will be on later to answer your query Julia.

Well that was an unusual greyhound meet! Walked with only A.N. Other and he has a lurcher. No idea why no one else came - weather was OK. Melody and I enjoyed it anyway.

Good Morning Michael, Did you by any chance send me a PM yesterday either during the day or about 7.00 last night. With this new system of GR's it is impossible to check on peoples names and know who they are, unless they have a quirky name, then you know instantly who they are.
Enjoy your car boot. I'm off visiting a garden this afternoon for Cancer Charities.
Please come back to me as I am very curious.

Car boots - not keen on them Michael. I'm off out to the greyhound meet in about an hour. We do not start out from meeting point until about 9.45. Far more civilised.

Thread will have to look after itself until much later unless a newbie is prepared to help.

Really should be in bed, early start in morning.
Why do car boots have to be crack of dawn ?

Bed time nudge.

Good idea Michael - but let us know it's you!

Wow, that's some handle Joy !

I must dream up something less boring.

Time for another nudge.

Oh lovely. Thanks again Joy.

No back lash from me really Michael. Did spend quite a bit on my first greyhound, Ceilidh, who had tumour after tumour or her legs. Quite easily removed and she really enjoyed life. As soon as I found out she had an internal one she was given the best I could give her - a quiet and peaceful death. Trouble is my son. He'd do anything to prolong their lives and cannot see he is being selfish. I always get it in the neck for being too quick to put them to sleep. I do what I would like doctors to do for me if I was in their condition.

Not into dogs but I have looked after a few when friends have gone on holiday.
Am always amazed by the amount people spend on prolonging the life of an animal when nature is telling them it's time to go.
That must seem cold-hearted but it annoys me that vets are fleecing sentimental people at the expense of the animal's quality of life.
One friend spent thousands on chemo treatment for her dog who was 11 yrs old... with the inevitable outcome - a dead dog and a family in debt.

....Waits for the back-lash !!

Good morning. I'm not saying I will not rejoin at a later date Michael. Just need a break I think and may be facing a vet bill. Poor old chap is now scraping his feet on the ground when out for walks. Bit worrying - having consulted dog books and the internet could be a spinal problem. Hope not!

early morning nudge

Seems like everyone has left us to it Jeanie.

G'Night then.

We'll miss you on here though.

Have you no consideration woman :>(
