I just want the basic stuff and tell my printer which pages to go for. Have to do that one page at a time, as in 1 and then going to 3, etc.. Sandi

I started out with Ultimate Family Tree and when they closed shop, so to speak, I went to FTM and really like it. It is so much easier to use than Ultimate was. The only thing I'm not crazy about in FTM is the way the family group sheets print out. Mary

A woman brings her parrot to the vet. The parrot is stiff and lifeless. "I'm sorry ma'am, but this parrot is dead" "How can you tell so quickly?" replies the woman, "Isn't there a way to be absolutely certain?" So, the vet whistles and a beautiful black Labrador Retriever walks in the examining room. The Lab sniffs around the parrot for a few moments, then looks at the vet and, with sad eyes and shakes his head. "A dog shakes its head and I'm supposed to believe that?!" cries the woman. "You're going to have to do more to prove that my poor parrot is dead!" So the vet leaves momentarily, comes back with a cat and puts it on the table beside the parrot. The cat looks closely at the parrot, walks around it, prods it a bit, then shakes his head and jumps off the table. Finally, the woman seems convinced. As she turns for the door, the vet announces that she owes him $500. "$500?!," the woman asks. "How in the world could it be that much just to tell me my parrot is dead?" "Well, it would have been a lot cheaper, but with that lab report and cat scan..."

Oxymorons Points to ponder... 1. Is it good if a vacuum really sucks? 2. Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand? 3. If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know? 4. If Webster wrote the first dictionary, where did he find the words? 5. Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack? 6. Why does "slow down" and "slow up" mean the same thing? 7. Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing? 8. Why do "tug" boats push their barges? 9. Why do we sing "Take me out to the ball game" when we are already there? 10. Why are they called "stands" when they are made for sitting? 11. Why is it called "after dark" when it really is "after light"? 12. Doesn't "expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected? 13. Why are a "wise man" and a "wise guy" opposites? 14. Why do "overlook" and "oversee" mean opposite things? 15. Why is "phonics" not spelled the way it sounds? 16. If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it? 17. If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? 18. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? 19. If you are cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right? 20. Why is bra singular and panties plural? 21. Why do you press harder on the buttons of a remote control when you know the batteries are dead? 22. Why do we put suits in garment bags and garments in a suitcase? 23. How come abbreviated is such a long word? 24. Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them? 25. Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? 26. Why do they call it a TV set when you only have one? 27. Christmas is so weird. What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks? 28. Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?
