Hi Maggie, Is that a new signature and are you still the same Maggie? Does it mean you are three years younger than me?

Mornin all, There have been so many times when I have had to leave a meal (fish) because I spotted A bone. My partner used to say I was "embarrassing". I had to give up ordering fish and I love it. Particularly Plaice.

Hi Angela, I have always used Outlook Express. It is not so much that the programme becomes corrupted as the ISPs don't get there act together when we get to much rain, sun, wind of any act of God.. Lucky old me I suppose no problem,s with OE.

Marj, I loved it. Sounds just like the thing I would do. I always know best and the more someone tried to advise me the harder I stick to my guns. You can imagine some of the predicaments I have found myself in. Just like Victor when he ended up under the flower pot in the ganden.

I've just thought, my Birthday will fall on 02-02-2001 and my daughters is 22-12-2000 Mums 02-01-2001 We're all a load of twos...... I'm not hinting honest.......... Best wishes Angela Cyprus

i think I know the bread group penny is thinking of. They were hugely successful, and American. Didn't that blonde fella from Starsky and Hutch David Soul sing with them for a while. I'm trying to think of their songs now. They were all love songs. One of them Telly Savalas re-worked later "If a picture could paint a thousand words" or something similar called "If". That was the only tape I played in my cabin on a Rotterdam/Dover trip once. I wouldn't leave the room, the sea was so rough, I felt permanently P......d and hadn't touched a drop. Everything seemed to be moving, even the walls. I know I've got the tape somewhere, but don't fancy sorting through the box of over 1000 cassettes that have been packed away in the spare room for years. Best wishes angela Cyprus

Hi All, Just on this OE thread. I used to use OE too until it overnight became corrupt and wouldn't open. I rang my ISP and he couldn't sort it out and suggested that I try Eudora, I changed and use Euduroa now - version 3.0.6 (32). I didn't like it first but it's just a question of getting used to something different. I don't know if its downloadable anywhere for free but I don't have any trouble at all - now. Just a thought. Might be worth checking out for some of you. Take care and bye for now, Trish Central Coast NSW, OZ where the sun is shining - for now.

Thank you for the thankfulness list Glenda - I will pass it on. Marged| | | Be thankful | | The following is something to ponder.............. | | If you woke up this morning with more health than | illness...you are more blessed than the million of those | who will not survive this week. | | If you have never experienced the danger of battle, | the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of | torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead | of 500 million people in the world. | | If you can attend a church meeting without fear of | harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more | blessed than three billion people in the world. | | If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on | your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you | are richer than 75% of this world. | | If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and | spare change in a dish someplace...you are among the | top 8% of the world's wealthy. | | If your parents are still alive and still | married...you are very rare, even in the United | States. | | If you hold up your head with a smile on your face | and are truly thankful...you are blessed because the | majority can, but most do not. | | If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even | touch them on the shoulder...you are blessed because | you can offer healing touch. | | If you can read this message, you just received a | double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, | and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two | billion people in the world that cannot read at all. | | | | | ==== NORTHERN-ENGLAND Mailing List ==== | An alternative mailing list for genealogy research in | Northern England, this list covers the whole of the North of England | | --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Loved it Mags. I know many of you use outlook express (here we go again) but I've just been offered the upgrade Netscape 6.0. Is it worth upgrading ? any opinions please. I'd hate to screw up anything else. Best wishes Angela

Sorry - just seen mis-spelling - should have been Glenda. :( Maggie

No Marged - I changed to aol yesterday - any other mail is old from me. This is working fantastic - massive number to read through - quite a few mine it looks like. Maggie

Thanks Glenad - it makes you think.... Maggie

Careful or we'll all be there Angela. Tummy rumbling already!!! Maggie

Does that mean that you won't forget anything now .........LOL <vbg> so now I know my memory must be better than yours .......<vbg> Maggie

I always ask people's opinion - doesn't mean I am going to take it - just means I want to confirm that I am right!!! Maggie

OOOh bacon - you have just made me fancy a bacon butty and I don't have any bacon :( Maggie

Mine is 21 12 2000 - pity I can't be around for 21 12 2112 ..lol Maggie

So you get it as snow - us as rain. I rather fancy a good, heavy snowfall. Years since we had one hear. Only snow last year just covered the ground and melted by lunch time - except under the trees and other shady places. Maggie

Just realised - you are 5hrs behind us. Maggie

Thanks Penny, that's OK - I have added you. Maggie
