    1. Re: Warning this Joke is intended for Adults only!
    2. Cindi, I have learned to read the address of my mail before I open it, and have saved myself from getting annoyed at these creatures that think their "messages" are what we want to see. Thanks for being on top of the issue and taking care of it. Evelyn

Feel free to send this | |joke to anyone you think might get a kick out if it ... | |and for more great jokes visit WWW.THEDIRTYJOKE.COM ... | |--------PRETTIER THAN PLAYBOY, HOTTER THAN HUSTLER--------| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Girlfriend 1.0 I'm currently running the latest version of GirlFriend and I've been having some problems lately. I've been running the same version of DrinkingBuddies 1.0 forever as my primary application, and all the GirlFriend releases I've tried have always conflicted with it. I hear that DrinkingBuddies won't crash if GirlFriend is run in background mode and the sound is turned off. But I'm embarrassed to say I can't find the switch to turn the sound off. I just run them separately, and it works okay. GirlFriend also seems to have a problem coexisting with my Golf program, often trying to abort Golf with some sort of timing incompatibility. I probably should have stayed with GirlFriend 1.0, but I thought I might see better performance from GirlFriend 2.0. After months of conflicts and other problems, I consulted a friend who has had experience with GirlFriend 2.0. He said I probably didn't have enough cache to run GirlFriend 2.0, and eventually it would require a Token Ring to run properly. He was right - as soon as I purged my cache, it uninstalled itself. Shortly after that, I installed GirlFriend 3.0 beta. All the bugs were supposed to be gone, but the first time I used it, it gave me a virus anyway. I had to clean out my whole system and shut down for a while.=20 I very cautiously upgraded to GirlFriend 4.0. This time I used a SCSI probe first and also installed a virus protection program. It worked okay for a while until I discovered that GirlFriend 1.0 was still in my system. I tried running GirlFriend 1.0 again with GirlFriend 4.0 still installed, but GirlFriend 4.0 has a feature I didn't know about that automatically senses the presence of any other version of GirlFriend and communicates with it in some way, which results in the immediate removal of both versions. The version I have now works pretty well, but there are still some problems. Like all versions of GirlFriend, it is written in some obscure language I can't understand, much less reprogram. Frankly I think there is too much attention paid to the look and feel rather than the desired functionality. Also, to get the best connections with your hardware, you usually have to use gold-plated contacts. And I've never liked how GirlFriend is totally "object-oriented." A year ago, a friend of mine upgraded his version of GirlFriend to GirlFriendPlus 1.0, which is a Terminate and Stay Resident version of GirlFriend. He discovered that GirlFriendPlus 1.0 expires within a year if you don't upgrade to Fianc=E9e 1.0. So he did, but soon after that, he had to upgrade to Wife 1.0, which he describes as a huge resource hog. It has taken up all his space, so he can't load anything else. One of the primary reasons he decided to go with Wife 1.0 was because it came bundled with FreeSexPlus. Well, it turns out the resource allocation module of Wife 1.0 sometimes prohibits access to FreeSexPlus, particularly the new Plug-Ins he wanted to try. On top of that, Wife 1.0 must be running on a well warmed-up system before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it, Wife 1.0 came with MotherInLaw which has an automatic pop-up feature he can't turn off. I told him to try installing Mistress 1.0, but he said he heard if you try to run it without first uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.0 won't install anyway because of insufficient resources. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |----------------http://www.eroticboxoffice.com/gmh--------| |If you're looking for the sexiest women on the net, you | |should start you're hunt at http://www.eroticboxoffice.com/gmh | |We have the youngest most, adorable girls you'll ever see!| |And you won't find 'em anywhere else ... | |-------------------THE HUNT STARTS HERE-------------------| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

CARROLL'S REPLY TO NORMA LEWIS: On Sun, 11 Oct 1998 17:13:18 -0700 (PDT) PSRoots-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: >Today's Topics: > #1 Re: SNOHOMISH CEMETERY FYI: [Norma Lewis ><norie@localaccess.com] >X-Message: #1 >Date: Sun, 11 Oct 1998 00:50:07 -0700 >From: Norma Lewis <norie@localaccess.com> >To: PSRoots-L@rootsweb.com >Message-ID: <3620632F.50F19AB2@localaccess.com> >Subject: Re: SNOHOMISH CEMETERY FYI: >Thanks for posting this, Carroll - did you type it? Yes, I did Norma complete with all errors, and I saw my grammar mistake(s) after I sent it, when I looked at it. I got called away as we were getting new tires for our cars for Winter; ours were getting worn. So, I didn't really finish my comments - I just had to drop it, and go - guess it was a bit obvious. You can go to the >Herald site and copy and paste from there I have never done that but was aware of it, though I have looked at the Herald site a number of times. After I read this msg to PSR & myself, I checked the http://www.heraldnet.com/search/search.cfm where I had seen an article about the cemetery before, but search as I may, while actually looking at the actual herald newspaper, I could not find the article in the Local News by Moriarity. So, just to see what was going on, I tried checking for the "Snohomish library plan preserves, dispatches history" article by Moriarity right below the cem. article but nothing was there - so I guess "they" are choosey about what gets online from the Herald - or space doesn't allow it, or whatever. Oh, and I forgot to mention when I QUOTED the article, that there was a map included right beside the article, "Fight over cemetery heads to court". the map in color by Judy Stanley, The Herald showed a vast map of the town of Snohomish - hwy 9, clear over to the Pilchuck river and a caption, "Snohomish Cemetery" with an indicator pointing to a small red rectangle indicating the loc. of the Cemetery at 2nd St and the west side of the Pilchuck River. Snohomish Cemetery is the only cemetery inside the city limits of Snohomish. The Thomas Maps and many other maps printed show cem. or cemetery at the site though some of the brochures of the town do not. The city has never put up a sign that indicated the site was Snohomish Cemetery, whereas they have put signs all over the place indicating historical places of interest historically, some of which are somewhat for looks, like Pilchuck Landing or some such thing. I wouldn't see these >articles if >you didn't post them as I don't have access to the Herald in >Centralia. This is why I did so, because I know that there are a lot of people out of town who wouldn't know unless someone informed them. Some have lived in Snohomish or had relatives who lived here, and several have thanked me for allowing them to learn of this terrible neglect by the very city who owned the cemetery but were too busy with other projects, and hype to care about the REAL HISTORY that was around them. "They" are always playing up the historical Snohomish with signs, Kla Ha Ya Daze, and PR of all sorts, but neither the City of Snohomish, the Historical Society or anyone else bothered to "dig a little" to find out about a genuine site of Snohomish history - Snohomish Cemetery, or Indian Cemetery as River Reflections referred to it, and happened to mention on p. 55 of one of the volumes that there were still remains in that cem. in the very last paragraph of their 1975 1st volume covering the history of Snohomish 1859 to 1910. > >There are several facts about this cemetery that have not been >publicized. I'm >sure these facts will be brought out in court. This is the most unfair >situation any city administration has been involved in this state in >years, >and with all the bad publicity Snohomish County gets on a regular >basis you'd >think they would be sensitive to this and bend over backward to make >amends. >Obviously they are not doing that, they are insistent on building over >this >old cemetery. It is rather apparent that they do not care, shown by the neglect of the historical value of the site as a cemetery which contains a wealth of pioneer Caucasian and Indian ( latter day, Nativ. Amer.) lore. John Low, et al, were not important to them - all he did was play a major roll in the historical discovery and settlement at Alki Point, with the Denny Party in finding the earliest site of a place that came to be known as Seattle. But , that was not all that John Low, and others who were pioneers of Snohomish's Past. All those early pioneers were the real founders in addition to Ferguson and others in Snohomish's history. It is ironic how some records were kept but others were "lost", strayed, or stolen - whatever! Not only the city records, but the records of the other cemeteries just outside of town where remains were supposed to have gone from the Hwy 2 cut (2nd St) in 1947. Then, Snohomish County has difficulty with such records, also. State records, various archives, survivors, historians, et al have to be consulted to piece the past records of those who are supposed to keep records, and those whose usual interest is to find and preserve the history of a town such as Snohomish. But, who cares! It is the "me" the "now" the "my" the 'today" syndrome - "old bones" "a blackberry field" "weeds allowed to grow tall and hide the tombstones at the base of the trees at the NE corner of the senior center"(actually they are mainly base stones for tombstones, but one pinkish marble one has T H O M A S on it, as I made a rubbing of it when it was visible - but now it is hiding in the only clump of weeds allowed to grow when the rest of the cem. was quite bare of vegetation. I went past it today, but the green grass & weeds have been allowed to grow over the former bare area when the remains were uncovered - the leg bones. at least. Were they afraid that might be Indian (Nat. Amer.) remains? They quickly looked no farther and covered it up after confirmation by the Co. Examiner that it was truly old remains and not other than that. > >When the house for the Senior Center was moved onto the cemetery and a >permit >was requested, the city engineer informed those people (and they know >who they >are) that what they were doing was illegal because that property was >divided >for cemetery plots and contained burials, and those people proceeded >without a >permit inside the city limits of Snohomish.

A log cabin from a site just outside of Snohomish on the Snoho.-Machias road near the site of the Centennial Trail parking lot on a bluff; several old bldgs from various Snohomish area sites, including one bldg. I remember well that stood originally across the street from the present Police Station on the West side of the street,(my old Herald paper route back 1938/39. It is well documented that the state >removed >110 gravesites and the construction crew said when they finished there >were >graves remaining on both sides of Hwy 2 or 2nd Street in Snohomish. remains from the 111th found went to Monroe Cem. east of Snohomish. >They >literally moved tombstones from graves across the road to set up their >exhibition cemetery in the 1960's - did they think the highway crew >removed >the graves from under the tombstones and left the stones???? The THOMAS base stone didn't make it to the replica site for some reason - even though a part of it did. The base still lies catywampus where it was dumped along with large sandstone bases at the base of those trees at the NE corner of the present senior center - you have to pull the weeds allowed to grow there when all other weeds were down so that they would not be seen - whereas they were in plain sight before all the hype (publicity) came about. Then >these >Snohomish Pioneer Girls and Boys who were all mature adults the earliest of them used to hold their picnics there, and after a parade in town on some important celebration, usually patriotic type, they would convene at Snohomish Cemetery where a picket fence and sort of trellis entrance to the cem. greeted the celebrants. Chuck or Charles Rice wrote of it in his historical articles about Old Snohomish and his pictures accompanying the article showed such evidence of the activity at the cem. of which he had written. These are historical articles that should be among the Snohomish Historical Society's archives, but are surely recorded elsewhere by those who cared, and wished to preserve such history. said they >didn't >think there were any graves left there.

You are sincere, and dedicated, and so is Glen. I felt bad that I had to reject or not e-mail any of the multiple mailing lists that have come to me from various persons, but I feel that they just congest the system unnecessarily - some of it chain letter stuff, others well meaning but still require multiple repetition of words (mine are bad enough!), but I just don't believe in that sort of thing so I just reject them with a delete or I may write rejected and return them - which is blunt, but to the point, that I don't accept it - Bill Gates , Walt Disney, whatever - if it is a hoax I don't need it. I did repeat the WX thing because it fit at the moment with the ham or amateur radio emergency communications idea that I was doing at the time - but I did realize that that article sent to me was quite presumptious in saying we are going to have an exceptionally bad Winter this year - I hear that every year, in fact - but I know that not even the Farmer's Almanac - the bible of WX predicitons can do it and neither can scientists to any reliable degree of accuracy - even with all the sophisticated electronics, space, satellites, and GPS can anyone do it with any accuracy, - but we can, should, and are supposed to be PREPARED for the Big One - whatever that might be. Being the human beings that we are - glued to the U.S. Soap Opera each episode, we will probably procrastinate as we usually do and who knows - Snohomish Cemetery might be REOPENED by the City of Snohomish, the Snohomish Hist.

    1. NGS Award for Nancy Peterson
    2. Cyndi Howells
    3. Hello all - I put a new web page on the TPCGS site today: http://www.rootsweb.com/~watpcgs/nancy.htm The Tacoma-Pierce County Genealogical Society is very proud of our own Nancy Peterson. Nancy is the hard-working editor of the Society's quarterly, The Researcher. Beyond her fine work as editor of The Researcher, Nancy has won the National Genealogical Society's prestigious Family History Writing Contest. She is the twelfth winner of the contest with her essay, "Buried Pasts: George and Clara (Baldwin) Bomford." Her work is the result of over eight years of research on the Bomford family. According to the mention in the May/June 1998 issue of the NGS Newsletter, one contest judge declared Nancy's essay to be, "The most interesting genealogy I've ever read." The Family History Writing Contest is an annual competition which receives entries from around the nation. The writing is judged on the writer's research skills and on their ability to analyze and utilize a wide variety of original source documents. Strict documentation and format requirements must be followed in this scholarly competition. Nancy was honored for her achievement at the NGS annual conference in Denver in May of 1998. Nancy's winning Family History will be published in an upcoming edition of the NGS Quarterly. In addition, Nancy has published an article on the role that Providential guidance played in the research which lead to the writing of her award-winning Family History. This article appeared on the front page of the September/October 1998 edition of the NGS Newsletter. >From everyone at the Tacoma-Pierce County Genealogical Society: "Congratulations Nancy and well done!!!!"

The reason the messages were returned was "User Unknown" This means that swbell.net didn't recognize that user name. Is it correct? Is it a current account? I also see that you are subscribed to both the PSRoots-L AND the PSRoots-D version under this e-mail address: judysgen@aol.com This means that at some point you sent in subscribe messages for both versions.
