Wonderful Labor Day. I spent the day in Savannah ,Georgia attending the annual Labor Day Reunion of the Ga Salzbugers. Any descendents on this list? A wonderful reunion, with thousands of people from everywhere. American Revolution reacted, etc on the Savannah River. Homemade lemonade made in a whiskey barrell, Ancestor cemetery close by, Museum opened, syrupmaking, cane grinds and new geneaoglical discoveries and friends made. I also purchased two Historial Books of the history of the Salzburgers and my ancestor Peter Gruber to read. The Salzburgers were responsible for the first orphanage, school, and grist mill in Georgia. The site of the first ophangage still stands. Later during the day exactly at 4:00 P.M. Geneaolgist started arriving from the Savannah Ga list at Tubby's Tank House located on the intercoastal at Thunderbolt Island, Ga for a rocking chair get together and wonderful seafood. Some came from as far away as Kentucky and I met a distant cousin for the first time. He is a wonderful geneaolgist and shared a family cementery survey with me. Bonadventure was close by also, and I visited an Aunt, she gave me new names to help break a brick wall and my paternal side of the family. I am busy the rest of this week doing fall cleaning, instead of spring. Sunday it will be a home football game to attend. The BS list is doing a great job. I love the stories of the ancestors.

Whitewolf, It is hilarious until you stap and think about it. It's amazing what some people will do to people they don't even know. I've experienced that. I hope this isn't true, then it can be a lot funnier. I still have an e-mail half composed for you. I need to finish some court papers again and then hopefully I will have some breathing room. Or I might have to move suddenly, time will tell. Pamela "A. L. Fischer" wrote: > > I have a friend who has a wicked sense of humor.

I have a friend who has a wicked sense of humor. She sent this to me. Whitewolf, aka Ava I went to the store the other day, I was only in there for about 5 minutes and when I came out there was a damn motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket. So I went up to him and said, 'Come on buddy, how about giving a guy a break?' He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil necked nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having bald tires!! So I called him a horses ass. He finished the second ticket and put it on the car with the first. Then he started \writing a third ticket!! This went on for about 20 minutes, the more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. But I didn't give a damn. My car was parked around the corner...

Sue G, I feel your frustration in my search. I won't go into it all, but this is a fine example of those who take and do not give. Even though it's hard at a time like this, remember who you are as a person and don't let her warp that. And you've reminded me that I've promised some stuff to some people and gotten distracted by problems in other areas of my life and totally spaced it.

A lady contacted me just over a week ago, saying she had been contacted privately by someone researching the same surname as I am, and she had given this "someone" quite a bit of information. Then she said she had seen my e-mail address on several message boards, and thought she'd contact me to see whether I was researching the same line. Well, I certainly AM! :-) She had quite a bit of documentation (PROVEN STUFF, mind you), and showed me that my ggfather had a sister I hadn't known about! She was born between my ggf and his younger brother...explains the 6-year gap between the two of them, a very strange thing 150 years ago...This girl's short life overlapped the 1861 Canadian census period, and missed the next one. This lady did some digging and found that the girl had died at age 6, and found a burial record in addition to the census which listed her. (I had been given quite a bit of census info from a distant Canadian cousin, and it had not occurred to me to have this cousin look back another census period...her data was from 1871 and more recent.) Here's the kicker, and why I brought this to chat instead of to the regular list...I have pretty much gotten over it, having given myself a week to deal with my frustration. But the person this lady had helped first is a distant cousin, someone who had contacted me about 1-1/2 years ago for assistance when she was getting started. (Her gfather and my gmother were brother & sister.) I gave her my entire tree, copies of some documentation (birth, baptismal, marriage, death records) and copies of photos. And I have graciously, carefully, sensitively answered her absolutely DUMB QUESTIONS for 18 months. (There really IS such a thing as a dumb question. Some people just aren't cut out for research. Let's leave it at that.) Why in the world wouldn't she have shared this data with me??? And when she received a copy of our gggfather's prison record, she e-mailed a virtually unusable copy, and when I asked on several occasions for a "real" copy via snail mail (as I had sent my data to her 18 months ago), she came up with many reasons she hadn't done it yet. The funny thing is, she had said "you don't want to KNOW what I had to do to get this!" But when I called the MI State Archive, told them what I was looking for, and gave them the background information, they mailed the copy of the record to me about 10 days later, AT NO CHARGE. I was ready to jump through hoops and sign away my life's savings, and it was as easy as a phone call. In the MI Archive, they have a 20-minute rule. They will spend 20 minutes looking for your record, and if it can be found in that time they will copy and send it at no cost to you. So I feel like I've been duped, having given someone my life's blood, and then been cut out when new and exciting stuff turned up. But at least there are good folks out there who take it upon themselves to approach others when they think they can be of assistance.

Hi Calvin, What is it you do on the road? I spent the day prepping lawnmowers in my little one man shop. I start early for next spring's demand onslaught for good used mowers..... Also my daughter had bought a used washer from a neighbor, had brought it home, set it up and the gearbox has a nasty knock. We took it back and you should hear the tirade. He gave the check back but huffed and puffed like the big bad wolf. "YOU BROKE IT YOU BROKE IT, YOU SHOULDN'T LAY A WASHER ON ITS SIDE TO TRANSPORT IT" That's news to me. I know a freezer or refrigerator ,if laid down, will run the liquid refrigerant into where it shouldn't be, and you have to wait 24 hours for it to settle back where it belongs. But a washer, no, I don't believe it. Has anyone heard this before? Well, happy happy holiday to all.....E T..... PS .....All of us left on the list are quality, not quantity.....

You can't lay a washer on its side? That's news to me. I hope you went to a different shop to get another washer.

I've never seen a washer transported any way other than upright. Maybe a call to your local washer repair just to ask about this??
