***Waits for the GR people who have met me to jump in and defend me against the "Boring" slur - lol**

Get your snorometer running aunty.Im off to test it out.

Sadly, Debs, you are keeping bad company here and will get no defence, I fear. Unless you count offence as being the best defence!


I think I'll be off to try to find somebody to try to find ...

Hi Deb, Hi janey...Hi glenys and anyone else

have tried to read through and got confused....whose side should we be on?...if serious....I have an opinion....If not.....I have an opinion.....but then again.....who cares!

Offence and defence-----Hockey season is over for me :)

Whose side should you are on??
(Aha, I see one of those edits-for-grammar. ;) )

I'm not at all sure we'd be able to figure it out even if you told us! ;)

The contest at hand is: what lovely GR member did Glenys meet while touring Canada??

Is somebody still smacking that puck around somewhere then?

We've managed not to have our Coronation Street disrupted at all where I'm at!

was just going to ask you if you know my bro in law in Vancouver Deb....he is quite tall and of Irish decent.

Tsk! Janey...you missed the edit.....beat you to it :-))

Oh just give the opinion susan,
everybody else seems to,cept me of course, as i keep my opinions to myself.

Pittsburg and Detroit - Series tied two a piece.

Well goodnight all from one on this BORING LITTLE ISLAND IN THE ATLANTIC

thank you for your compassion for the fifteen people i have to sack on Monday

I hope the sun always shines on you and yours..................

My opinion is of no consequence lol...I tend to read things as if others have their tounges in cheeks...and if not....who cares!

Okay, but I do have to tell my story again.

I helped someone on another site make contact wtih the family of her great-aunt's husband, who died in WWI weeks after the marriage. She had a wedding picture she wanted to pass on to his family.

I found her the marriage (then untranscribed) and thus the husband's name, and found four of his family members here at GR. One turned out to be his granddaughter! He'd had a child back home in Nottinghamshire before marrying the great-aunt in question in Devon.

She and I PMed here ... and yes, she had a cousin in Vancouver. I said I'd never actually been to Vancouver, but I did have family ties to her own location -- my grandmother's uncle owned a pub in Worksop circa 1900.

I'd recently been contacted, through census corrections I made at Ancestry, by that uncle's granddaughter, still living in Worksop, but I hadn't got around to mentioning that.

Back came the PM: She didn't believe it! She was good friends with AP, my grandmother's uncle's granddaughter, and AP had told her all about me!

So ... it's always worth asking. ;)

And I have to go check out a couple of threads. Then do some housework (that's almost two four letter words), just so OH will know I'm still here.

And Janey, I also remember some very wise person telling me some very relevant facts which proved to be quite accurate and solved a mystery from some research or other.

PS If any of you ever meet anyone from Oz be sure to mention my name. I'm quite certain they will know me.

Susan - Would he be about 6'5", good looking and with family from Virginia Co. Cavan Ireland?

No, hold on - that's my son.

Ahhh! the other good looking, tall, Irish ish guy?
Yep! ran into him today at the mall. Nice man :)

Susan## -- I always a stock offer these, and advise scattering them on the monitor when in doubt:

;^)

You, of course, don't need 'em. ;)


Uh ... that was "I always offer a stock of these", in case you wondered ...

Excuse Me...I'm An English Lady and I Do Not Snore ;)

Misty x

Ah, a proper English Lady!

Very long feet, then?

I mean, mine must have come from somewhere ...

Janey

Huge, long, slim feet......Yes

Maybe your my "long lost" family, in Ontario..if not, do you know them?

Misty x

Ontario! Well then of course it must be.

The sign of the long thin feet -- you know Lady Diana is one of the clan too, of course.
