Hello Faith, So sorry dear I did not know it was your birthday. Still I can still say Happy birthday to you better late than not at all. Its getting colder here so its hunt for my winter woolies. Have you got fur lined wellies Faith LOL. Tat Tar June.

Hiya - It's that man again! Faith, sorry I missed your birthday, anyway, belated birthday greetings ;-)))))))} If I'd known I could have made you one of my special cards. Brenda, have a wonderful day (I won't ask your age 'cos it's bad manners to ask a lady!). May all your wishes be granted - if you win a million please don't forget your friends rotflol. Here's another for a singalong........ I'd like to get you, on a slow boat to China. All to myself alonnnnnnnnnne............................. It isn't snowing here yet, but I've just seen a plea on the board asking if it is snowing in Brum because someone has to drive back to Uni' and they are in Lincolnshire where it has. I have just applied and have been accepted to have broadband installed by Tiscali. So soon I shall be sending out emails to all who have my personal address, with my new monica. I shall be paying a quid less for b'band than I have to pay for dial-up yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (thinks, what can I do with a quid?) June, I like your story, can't wait to hear what happens at the weekend - Tarrarabit, John xxxxxxxxx.

Sorry folks - It's me again (I'd forget my head if it were loose!) Does any one know how I can save all my emails (without printing them all of course), and how do I transfer my favourits like VirtualBrum etc.? Tarraragen - John xxxxxxxxxx (thinks, I'm getting too free with my kisses!)

Good Morning All, Hi John. Part 2 of the story. Thursday. To Day Ray asked for a salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Ray asked me, Why was I rolling in the garden. Friday I found a new recipe for cookies. It said put the ingredients in bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with the recipe. When I got back, every thing was the same as when I left. Saturday Ray did the shopping to day and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress. It for Sunday (oh boy). For some reason Ray keeps counting to ten. Sunday. Ray's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast but all I had was a hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put th hamburger in my oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment. GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY. This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try a new recipt on Ray. If I can talk him into buying a bigger oven. I would like to surprise him with. CHOCOLATE MOOSE. Thats it for now as my fingers have gone dead with all this typing LOL. Tat Tar June.

brummie up north but thanks to doing family trees ive now had holidays in Ireland & Canada!!

Hi Mark, Good for you, how about telling us more ??? Also what part of Birmingham do you come from and where up North are you now. Tat Tar June. Hi Gang, Just come back from a quick down to Wigston, by heck its bitter. Think I will stay in doors now. LOL Hi Jan & Rick Hope you both had a nice meal last night. Dont eat to much Jan as you may have to get a bigger size outfit for the wedding. Had a look at my ducks this morning Lovely. Mommy June. xx

Hiya Mommy June Yesss we had a lovely meal - we went to an indian restaurant and it was very yummy but I really did eat too much lol - still the walk home done us good. John do you mean you want to save the stuff to your computer? If you do transfer your emails into a folder on your desk top you can save them like that. Your favourite sites should be stored in your browser unless you are using aol? - we changed providers not so long ago and didnt have to change anything like that. - hope that helps :-) anyway everyone - no snow here today :-( its a very sunny day - even had the back door open a while this morning it was lovely - Rick cooked breakfast this morning while I done some cleaning etc he then said I need to shut back door because breakfast will get cold as Im serving it out - I think it was an excuse he was a bit chilly - maybe he should of scrubbed the floors instead lol. Hope Brenda had a lovely birthday :-)))))))))))) take care everyone Love Jan xx p.s Hiya mark :-)))))))))))

Morning Everyone, Lovely and sunny here,three deer just out side my back door having brekfast , they dont even have to dig to far as the snow is melting and lots of grass showing through. Welcome Mark, what part of Canada did you visit, I live in British Columbia. Well must go my son in law just shouted breakfast is ready.and have to take advantage of having breakfast cooked for me,they are going back to Calgary in the morning so that will be it for a while. Have a great day everyone. Margaret

Good morning All, Well we have had our first snow flakes this morning at 8.10 am. It has come to a stop at the moment but the sky is full of it. Our Brenda has her new computer, but is still trying to sort it out. As soon as she has we will see her back on the site again. All for now so take care. Tat Tar June.

Good afternoon, Brenda if I'd known it was your birthday I would have sent you a cream cake, a card and some chocs, but it is too late now. Happy belated greetings. Now Mark don't be shy give us the low down on your history and we are pleased you made contact. We are a crazy bunch but we mean no harm. June would you like to borrow my Mrs Beatons Recipe book?? John how about that good old song My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean? or maybe Ten Green Bottles; empty of course. Glad to see more of you back on line have a full Parade soon. Mary has to go to hospital to-morrow to have a pre exam before having laser treatment on her eye. One cataract op has gone a bit squiffy but it is nothing serious. So I will not be able to come on line to-morrow, providing this gets thro!! LLOL from Your mate Jim and His Mate Mary C.

Just a quick hello to everyone & a good luck for Mary for tommorow xx Have had a little snow this afternoon - but I was at work so couldnt play :-((((( Hope your all keep - keep warm Love Jan xx

Hello all, I hear your getting a little snow Jan did you build your snow man or did you send Rick out LOL,we are still getting it but it's not sticking it's so muddy...All the best to Mary she'll be so much better when it's done, you had better start shaving again Jim she'll be able to see every whisker LOL..Thanks for your birthday wishes I'v decided not to have any more I'm going to be 49 forever...John what have you been up to is your new system up and running, how posh!! Marg I'm glad your weather isnt too bad at least you can get out without shovelling, I'm going to miss Di I liked her..Where are you Dee? Hope you had a great b-day Brenda did you have a BBQ and cake..Oh well back to the workhouse for me, I'v got to learn how not to make a mess..Take care all..

Hi - It's that man again! Good luck to Mary, Jim. Thanks for your tips Jan, unfortunately I'm with AOHell and if I save to the desktop I am almost certain the mail will still only open in AOHell 8-((((((} Snowed here tonight at 5p.m. by ten past it had stopped, the only snow left is on the roofs and the stationary cars, the road is absolutely clear! Faith, no, my new broadband server should be with me sometime next week, I can't wait, instead of a download taking 11 hours it should only take about 11 minutes :-)))} I had a shock on saturday, I received a brown envelope with a bit of clear tape accross the flap (National Health Service Trademark), it was to tell me that my annual check-up has been postponed, from November 2005 to January 2006 and asking me to notify them if I can't keep the appointment - I don't know what I'm doing t'morrer yet lol. Sorry Jim I aint old enough to know those two songs you mentioned 8-)))))))} How about - Kiss me, kiss me, take me in your arms and drive me slooooooowly outa my mind, ooh, ooh kiss me, kiss me.......................................I can't remember the rest, but it was a one hit wonder by an Ozzie, about the time I was courting. It was re-made a few years back by that woman who had a hit with the theme to the film 'Titanic' ???????????????????????? Tarrarabit - John xxxxxxxxxx

Hi John another thought on that - how about copying and pasting your emails and saving them to a word doccument?? that would most definatly work. :-))) Faith we havent had enough snow yet to build a snowman :-(( but yet again I walked to work in the snow this morning it was heaven I love it :-))) Mummy June hope your ok :-))) Jim hope mary was ok today :-))) love to everyone & keep warm Love Jan xx

Here we are again, happy as can be, all good pals and jolly good company. Mary says thanks for all your good wishes, she now has to wait for her calling up papers to go for the laser treatment. The Specialist assured her that it is a completely painless proceedure and that she goes in has it done and then straight home. We wait with bated breath. Faith Don't you know that the best 10 years of a lady's life are those between 39 and 40. When Mary got to 44 I said I was going to trade her in for 2 at 22, she said I would be dead in a week, I said what a way to go!!! John So you are too young to know my songs!! Well I'm too old to know your modern stuff, they only seem to sing about three words Repeated over and over ,and who ever said they could sing-- well. I am on Simon Cowells side. Mind you when I sing they have to retune the organ!! Time and tide has caught up with me again, must get her indoors a cuppa before I get a thick ear. ( She still loves me though) LLOL from Underdog Jim and Bossy Boots Mary C. OUCH another love tap round the Head.

Hiya - It's that man again! 'I Did It My Waaaaaaaaaaaayyy' Sorry Jan, the snow thawed before I could get my hands on it ;-(((((((} Hi Jim, who is Simon Cowel? Is he that silver haired Brummie who digs the sod and tells us who lived there in the Iron-Age? What's happened to June - do you reckon that she has strayed out into the snow and being short can't jump high enough to see her way home (here)? 8-))))))))))} You wouldn't hit a man in spec's - Would you! Or won't the broom take off in this weather? rotglol Jan didn't get back either - do you reckon she's out looking for her 'Mom' ;-)))))))} Tarrarabit - John xxxxxxxx
