I think that sounds like a good idea Jill... :))

Ooh Joy - would love to read those! Thinking of a writers thread - maybe on Gen board?

BC sleeps in ecopod lined with news papers and fleathers...

I object strongly that you think we are not serious tsk! *flounces out*

I think you're right Rose.

And when I get stuck on a particular person in the tree or find out something a bit unusual about them I tend to write it down. My natural inclination to pick up the notebook and muse away. The stuck ones sometimes come unstuck and the unusual ones provide fodder for poems, bits for the writing group etc. (and will end up in the family history folder anyway as I want a written account of at least some of them as wel as the bare bones)

Maybe we should have a writers' thread - perhaps on General (where they are just a tad more serious - LOL). What do you think?

Hello! I am Posh...I have been a member for nearly 5 years now.
I am usually very quiet but do have my 'moments'... lol

Do sane people do this? - I have written articles for family history societies (Irish, Cornish, Suffolk) and in the magazine in Family Tree Forum site.

BC looks good in her leather and rubber outfits.........................................Rach is trying very hard to learn to write
Rose has her own cushion on the naughty step
I have never been to the naughty step,but will soon be bionic,I hope

WOW!

I try to take a holiday every so often , being sent into a corner helps concentrate my mind . it is when I write my 'best' poetry...alas too acidic for publication...it biurns holes in the screen but is immensely satisfying :))

Strange because I very rarely wrote any poetry till I joined GR...

seriously though there are a lot of writers or potential writers on the boards...I wonder if writers are more interested in genealogy ....probably that curiosity about people generally ?

Here you go Rach:-

You can zoom in on one of the little specks on somewhere like Orion and it's not just a little speck - it's a huge whirling galaxy - makes you feel really really tiny!

Oh yes please hun and yes it is my 40th yes thats 4 0 Hayley next saturday

Telescope - is that next weekend Rach? There is a great site on Google now full of pictures taken from the Hubble spaceship. I will see if I can find the link. Fascinating stuff.

that's why BC likes the smell of leather..it's all the cows on Hayley's farm...

Dunno Hayley but he married you at some point (for your money). Were you drunk at the time? LOL

He lives in Oz now and is hot - 41 degrees or something! Pah!

I am also a star gazer :¬)

BC also likes the smell of rubber but we won't go into that here.

Joy (AKA Maid Marion ...) is one of the saner members here. But of course all that could change in the twinkling of an eyeball!

I have a farm and love working on that in my spare ...who is Mick?

They have a website Stella - but I love it when the mag comes through the door!
