You are quite right , Marion. Our administrator had no choice in changing the reply to setting to its present setting. It avoids the problems that led to us losing two of our most regular and interesting listers. I expect a lot of others were put off by the resulting flames. After all this list is for fun and learning. I have trained myself to change the address as necessary. It also makes me think before I send.. We too have more snow. It is hard to see the road when backing out the driveway. I am planning to take a picture soon. Yesterday the roof of a skating arena here collapsed. It had 3 feet of snow on the roof. The arena staff had not been able to clean it off because of bad weather. Fortunately no one was hurt although there were 100 people in the rink at the time - including two hockey teams playing a game.

This morning dear hubby says "how about we go see if those digital cameras you liked are in the MAKRO sale" then we looked out the window LOL so no camera to take any pics:-( Thanks heavens no one was hurt when the roof collapsed, makes you realise how dangerous life can be. Their was a local tragedy here on Friday when a 21yr old young man was killed at work, he was dragged into a vertical boring machine. His family are devastated, I don't know them but my husband and son knew the lad . TTFN Marion just read my mail and hope I haven depressed you all :-( <<<<<We too have more snow.
