Now John, I have to get one back on you, so how about you being a PORN broker on Snow hill, I may do funny things but I would never sell PORN . lol !! I know what you will say only I would notice the spelling. or did you spell it that way to catch us out. ?? Well its a lovely sunny day but VERY cold,minus 25and still lots of snow on the ground , I am off to Calgary for a few days my daughter and family get back from their trip to England, hope the roads are good, havent had snow for a few days so they should be clear but maybe icy so a slow drive.

Hi Everyone - It's That Man Again! Ooooooooooooh Margaret, how could you think that I would do such a thing as sell "Porn" 8-))))} I spelt it Pawn, then checked what Anon wrote and had to change it - maybe Anon is one of these younger fellas what aint learned how to do it proper! Maybe he's big and strong (string), maybe he's the one someone on this site is looking for ;-))))))))))} Faith, take no notice of June, climbing a ladder is easy to someone who is profficient at riding a broom sidesaddle 8-)} you wouldn't hit a man in glasses - would yoooooooou? Ear ear, now now, cum cum our Jim, please say it's only finger trouble you're having with your puter! I do hope that you and Mary aren't still ailing. Tarrarabit - John xxxxxxxx

Hello everyone ! Hope you're all OK and Jim if you're reading this then please say hi and let us know how you and Mary are now. June - you're not alone lol - but fancy suggesting sticking me in the corner - Jan doesn't need much encouragement to poke fun at me !! Jan's taking the tree down today so the front room will look huge afterwards. Shame to take it down really as it looks so nice. Still - only 352 days to go to next Xmas lol. Rick.xx

But he may be a little bit longer off the board, but will be back as soon as he can. I am sure with me you will all want to say..... GET WELL OUR JIM AS WE ALL MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH.

Hi Jan, I have re sent the mail to you. What I did was put your old email address on it, so I have now taken that one out of my address book. Hope you get it this time. Take care love June. Hi Rick, So you dont want to go in the corner to replace your Christmas tree. I am sure Jan would feed you while you was in there. It will soon be Christmas again laughter. Tat Tar.

Hi Jan, Sorry I was late getting back on the site, thanks for your concern. Yes I will be your second MOM laughter. Thanks. I do wonder where all our friends have got too. Even our John has gone astray. I wonder if he has gone off to the SALES. Now John what did you buy ???? Our Brenda computer is still down. so I have missed being able to talk to her on the MSN messenger. I am still trying to find some of my relies, my dads side got back to the 1700, I have not put them in to my computer as I got in a mess with that. I must find out how to add all the ones I have found. To our YOUNG JIM. Just to say we are thinking about you, so keep taking the pills and let nurse Mary rub your chest how about using VIC or she may put a tar rope bag round your neck this will do you a power of good. I had some of these when I was little. So good night to you all off to get my cuppa before going to bed. Love June. Tat Tar.

Hi June, Glad you are OK after your visit to the docs. Jan is well chuffed that you have adopted her as well as Jim - now she has a second Mum & a second Dad lolol. I also found a whole load of rellies today but it's soooooo confusing cos their names keep changing and they disappear from censuses and it hurt my brain so I had to stop !!!!! And poor Jan is looking for such common surnames she has given up for a while :-((((((((( Hope everyone else is OK. Rick.xx

Hiya - It's That Man Again! Faith, dont you patronise me! I had thought about asking how much the air fare is, but had second thoughts when June suggested cleaning the windows ;-))))))} As for sending me amongst the freight June grrrrrrrrrrrr. June dearest ;-))))} do you think it was the weight of the tarred rope (when you were younger), that's buggered your legs? I was going to say when you were small, but you are that anyway I believe lol. I have leg problems too - but then, I am carrying 14 stone about (I wonder what that would cost freight to Canada?) The Black bears would think they were in for a good meal ;-))))))))))))} For Jim I was going to suggest "Goose grease", take care old fella - at least you aren't lost in the mountains ;-))))))))} As for the sales June. I am a very slow eater at mealtimes, so bought myself one of those gadgets that keep food warm on the table, my food is now warm from start to finish yipeeeeeeeee. _________________________________________________ NEWS FLASH - Ireland's worst air disaster occured early this morning when a two-seater Cessna aircraft crashed into a cemetery. Irish search and rescue teams have so far recovered 1,826 bodies and expect that number to rise, as they continue digging into the night. Tarrarabit - John xxxxxxxx

Hi Everyone, Arrived back safe and sound from Calgary, but to about 6inches of snow in RAdium, I was going to stay on with the Family until the weekend but last night they were forcasting heavy snow and wind for CAlgary, so decided to get up and leave early 9am this morning, glad I did as my son just phoned to see if I had arrived home safe and to tell me they had a terrible snow storm about 10-30 am so I was just ahead of it, the roads where dry and clear for the first 2 hours then ran into a light snow through the mountains, but not that bad until the last steep hill down into Radium and it was snowing heavy, arrived home at 12-30pm and it has snowed all afternoon. My daughter and FAmily had a great visiti in England, bought me the best thing they could....MALT LOAF cant get it here so I was thrilled, they did also bring me a beautiful silk and pearl table cloth from Duabi, Well June glad you made out o.k. at the Docs I have to to see a specialist next week about my Knee, you are right this getting old is for the birds, I gave up Birthdays last year when I turned 65 but somehow my body dosnt know this. Well gald Jim And MAry are O.K. sure miss them. must go my neighbours have made a stew and invited me over for dinner. Talk tomorrow. Marg

Good Morning All, What a day, blowing like mad here, but not cold. Welcome to Carol. If you are nice and like a bit of a laugh you can stay with us, But we do like to find out where you come from. Marge glad to hear you got home before the snow came down Nice to hear you had some English Malt Loaf hope you are putting some nice butter on it. Hope you have good news about your knee. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. John so you dont think you wanted to be sent to Canada by freight. It would be different, mind you would have to put your coms on as its a bit cold at the bottom of the plane. Now about me being small, ok I give up this I think was due to my mom and dad keep patting me on the head laughter. My Keith, daughter, son-in-law and even my two grand-daughters are all taller than me. Do you think if I stood in a pot of compost I would grow a little laughter. I did like the story of the Cemetery, I have a Brummie friend who now lives in C.Kerry so I will tell her that one. Hi Jan and Rick. Rick now I have adopted Jan I will have to send her some names off our family tree but up to now I have not found any Smiths, Jones, Browns, or Whites. To all our other friends hope you are all well. Take care will catch you all later. Boom Boom June.
