Well get orf your 'proverbial' and do something then - like your own ironing for starters!


Huh....some people!


I will brighten my ironing time by listening to a good story......got a Dalziell and Pascoe one going at the mo. James Patterson is a favourite. Tops is Agatha Christie. Funny, can't read her books but can listen to them no prob.

It's not 'quite' wet here Cynths but it is certainly threatening to be - It is cold and grey and very windy.

I have ironing to do too but it will only make me feel miserable as I HATE ironing. - Will save it for tomorrow and hope the sun shines!

I DO wish I was more like you and could actually enjoy doing these horrible things.

OOh Jax,

Must get one of those ...... Do you think they will ever invent a 'robotic ironer' ???

Cynthia Report 13 Sep 2010 14:29

Yes Ja...x. If they have apologised that's a good start.


As a favour to you, I will tackle your ironing if you care to send it up here....just don't tell Fans.

Well it just goes to show ----------------something

Someone had to pay 9.95 just to write on my thread

Mind you it cost 3 e to past her copies of docs re the said Auntie


And we cannot find how - 2 girls came to Uk in 1870 ties

one working for a Lieutenant as ladies maid - the other for The Hambro family - also as ladies maid

Weird


Perhaps they smuggled in their ladies maids

Cynthia

Cynthia Report 13 Sep 2010 15:14

Had to read that bit again Renes......1870 ties......thought you meant they were wearing ties! doh....
Perhaps they were smuggled in in large trunks!! OOooooh.





Strop all you like Fans.........yous going away tomorrow.......




Cheers quietly in a corner...


EDIT
Goes out to do ironing singing merrily.....tra la.....

jax -- taking the high road can be very satisfying. Self-satisfying. ;)

And it does ensure that you don't have somebody gunning for your posts in future!



Yes, the main culprit for the post-dredging is the surname-filter function. But it isn't just that people use the filter. It's that they go straight to their "surname board" from the emails GR sends them. They don't even know there is a whole big board. In fact ... and shush now ... it was two years before I realized that.

I'd only used the site to put up a family shrub and do tree searches and contact possible relations, and I'd followed those surname-board links in my emails from GR, and browsed through the posts for my surnames (well, the ones that had any posts), and seen all the old junk and nothing much else. I even posted a couple of times re surnames for which there weren't boards, creating a board in the process -- and had no idea that my posts were being seen by the general public (none of whom paid any attention to my posts anyway -- so I still didn't get any clue that they were being seen). It's just lucky I didn't go replying on the board to any 5-yr-old posts! I would have been branded moron forever. ;)

It wasn't until 2007 when I idly decided to click on the "Community" button (I've never been drawn to the idea of "communities" at web sites) that I saw all these boards ... chat, general, the history boards ... and was amazed.

Whence my empathy for the poor souls trapped in the caves of their surname boards.

Now that is>>>Sadd

Edits,that was for Joy not JC,but on reflection....

Te He.
At least I dint fall foul of the surnames board(I think,long time back now)But found the community boards quickly being of the nosey kind.
Watched chat for a while and was horrif..........Um decided not to join in.
Gen,not quite so bad but when I did add a reply to anything was completely ignored so decided to post a TTF...
And well,the rest is history..:))

Now that is>>>Sadd
- originally was Sad :-)


I think compared with other forum type sites, this one is appallingly confusing!!

FannyByGaslight

FannyByGaslight Report 13 Sep 2010 15:46

I answer a post of one of my unusual surnames on TTF just now ,very few come up with that one,in fact the last one was in 2007 .

But they are one of the post it and run sort and I am going to be unable to access a computer easily from tomorrow for a few days...Sobs...

Will leave a message to that affect methinks...

I see someone replied to his own four year old post today!!

The infomation he found took two minutes on freebmd, I assume people did'nt reply on the boards back then?

Has anyone wondered why one person would need so many probate/will look ups, I have not found one ancestor that left any money, probably only debts

ja...x

I have only just caught a bit of this can anyone join in the fun...I see this thread has been going along time lol .

And long may it Reign...mean, Remain.

Where you been then Pat?

See you on TTF all the time,how can you not have noticed this rabble before now?

You will need the patience of a Saint and a skin like a rhino if you loiter here long.

Only one rule on here really.

Play nicely .....

Ginny is away in Geneva no less at the mo so we welcome you in her absence......and that is why it is also so quiet on here at the mo as our Motor Mou..............Um lovely Ginnykins is on her hols....

Edits.
But there are a few Patricias on here so I dont know which one you are now.

A slight add on to ones name to be able to tell apart would be a help instead of having to click on names for surnames..

Just a suggestion,,,I shut up now...
