Well, of course, if one is used to shopping at, say, Harrods.......then of course, DunEMill would not appeal.

For us lesser mortals however, I think it's brill! :-P


I've had another day where I don't know if I am coming or going! Not physically, but on the puter. Both are on go slow - I've checked AVG etc.etc. but I have a feeling there is so much junk on them that they are complaining! Of course, when they are like this, I have three friends from the past who want to catch up and see photos etc.etc.etc........aaarrgghh


I am going to play a game to calm my frazzled nerves.

The kids left soon after 8:30 am ........... they had reservations on the 10:15 am ferry, which meant they had to be at the terminal no later than 9:45.

It is only about 30 minutes away ......... but there is a tunnel under the Fraser River on the way, and that is reduced to 1 lane going south during the morning rush hour, and an "oopsie" can close the tunnel, so you need time to adjust your route just in case.


OH and I are both looking forward to some quiet ....... there has been a LOT of stress over the last few days.



Tornado is super though!

we took both our computers into the Go Go Geek "hospital on Wednesday.

4 hours later, we had them both back and hooked up. Adobe upgraded (both OH and I wee having trouble with that), and "workings" checked for "nasties".


Nothing serious was found ........... which says a lot of AVG as it is about 18 months since we last had the 'puters sorted out.

Even better, the "doctor" said my 'puter was in good shape, then changed it to "excellent shape" when I told him it dated back to 2003 :-D

He said no need to change it or update as long as it was working as well, and as long as I kept the software updated.




C .......................... one of the reasons for taking them in was because they were beginning to run slow.

Just popped in for a final brekkie and lunch with you all


my subs finish on 22nd and I am not renewing ,,,,,,,,,

I was thinking of it ............. and the removal of the original tree decided

It is not coz I dislike the tree ( which I do ) it is because it is very very flaky ... it does not function well ..........

the main problem with the old tree was you could not print

( oh and cousins marry had to be entered twice ... big deal .. what is it 1 in every 1000 )

Well for all the bells and whistles ...... you still cannot print it ...........

I have had all my trees on FTM for a couple of years ...... but I do gedcom back ad forth when working on something .....etc

I have been working on a L^dbr**ke ( Sylvia and other helped on the dark side ) ( it is an exchange for building/carpentry work or just jobs in my Norfolk home ) ....

and I started it on here on --- as the layout and logic of old tree was good ....... you can move quickly back up thru a line logically ( which you cannot do with ·· ""side trees""· ) would have moved it to print etc .......

The only interesting board now is FLR which despite all the moans about it .............. posts are answered in seconds ........... unlike FA boards

So I am sorry to say ................. this is no more for me.................. I will prefer to have a M & S lunch twice a year in Norwich ,,,,,, fot the same money .............................

So see you on the dark side ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
