Find Ancestors

I take it you're accident prone then Janey? ;-)


Gins...that pig is supposed to be funny.....sigh. When you see him on the joke I got with him, he laughs and shakes....bit like Edward Heath used to... :-D




Hi Sylvs. Glad you've had a good time. Nice to have you back. The breakfast I did was rubbish!



Nearly bedtime here......see you tomorrow ~~~~~~~~~

Ted Heath....that Tory boy.

Did he shake?

All I remember is being a kid and mom having to fetch 'pink parrafrin' to heat the house

Yeah, but at least I've never fallen off a bus ...

This is just all wrong

I haven't fallen off a bus either Janey.....just into a river at Yockenthwaite!



Ted Heath was famous for his shoulder shaking laugh Gins.


Must go....~~~~~

Can you believe...there is someone out there right now, with a chain saw....what the....

Oh, missed your Q.

Fifth metatarsal (outside bone in foot), crack in the inside of the bone, so as he explained it, the bone itself was the splint.

Actually, Canadian medics are excellent. I was given an Xray because I met the criteria in the "Ottawa Rules", developed at that very hospital, for discriminating between breaks and sprains of the feet and ankles. They've saved countless unnecessary (and costly) Xrays around the world!

When my mum was telling her new doc about me breaking my foot the second time, for some reason (I'd been visiting her when I did it, falling off my sister's driveway), or maybe it was about something else, anyhow, she mentioned the Ottawa Rules. He did a little double-take and looked up and said how did she know about that? One way to show your doc you're not to be messed with! and have kids even less to be messed with. ;)

For those who want to self-diagnose

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_ankle_rules

"In medicine, the Ottawa ankle rules are a set of guidelines for doctors to aid them in deciding if a patient with foot or ankle pain should be offered X-rays to diagnose a possible bone fracture. Before the introduction of the rules most patients with ankle injuries would have been X-rayed. However only about 15% of X-rays were positive for fracture, other patients had sprains or other injuries. As a result many unnecessary X-rays were taken, which was costly, time consuming and a possible health risk."

:-P

Heh heh:

"Unfortunately, teaching the rules to patients does not appear to help reduce presentation to hospital."

Sylvia is the bus-off-faller.

I've had pile-driving 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the last 2 weeks ... again. Every summer for 10 years. If it isn't the roadwork (3 years) it's the block-square social housing development (the next year) or the monster townhouses in my back yard (the year after that). I forget what all else, I just know it's been every year for 10 years.

It's the psychological effect of living in East Beirut while undergoing Chinese water torture ...

And it's time for the endless connecting......... loop. I'd been lucky not to encounter site failures this week, but I guess my number came up.

1 a.m. in the UK, time for maintenance?

I could'nt use the site last night due to maintenance....why can't the mention it like other sites?

You know I just love the cheap seats ....

... that thread you sent me jax (and I've pursued it on Ancestors for want of anything else to do).

The comments on Chat from someone who has never shown their face in a help thread, to my knowledge (and from a search for the user name with keywords like "search" and "father": nada).

Just who are the board police around here ...........

I think it's the ones who think they can make up their own rules and tell newbies to disregard the real rules, myself. Vigilante board police.

Thanks JC I thought it was me :-)

It striked me as being just like the threads on FB... I do not use the chat board as a rule the old reply if something interests me, but I had noticed people in the past directed to Tips as they would get more help there ect.

Trouble is people will still help where ever it is posted, so as it happened today there were replies on all three boards to the same request.

I was just trying to stop this happening......the rest is history ;-)

Hooray !!!!!

Just about to go into the training room for day two of my course. The tutor is very good an eastern euopean with better English skills than most on the course!

Not sure she gets the Yorkshire humour though...she looks rather perplexed at times ;-)

Glad to hear that I can cancel the colonoscopy. It does make for difficult reading with all these little frownie faces all over the page. I have been missing most of the day as Wireless connection decided that it didn't want to play ball. The main PC was okay but my laptop decided no way, right in the middle of me downloading something. So lots of bad language and now very late am all sorted.
I was also helping someone straighten out her tree she had PMd me regarding a relative of mine and automatically sent me her tree plus her e-mail address. I am soooooooooh trustworthy without even knowing me... but yes she is all ironed out and pressed beautifully now. She did have a few wrinkles in the wrong places. Course I then went and found out lots of data for her as well on her relatives that don't belong to me.

I went in to general chat at one stage and once again I see requests for look ups etc... so I beat a hasty retreat before saying something off the cuff that would not be 100% cotton.

Persie who broke her fifth metatarsal left foot about 18 months ago. I fell off my doormat. Five people in A & E that morning that had rolled over on their foot and only one idiot managed to break hers. :-S

Hi all

Ooh - some catching up to do with all the yacking on here, took ages to read.

Was all about hairbrushes needing bath supports because they broke some bristles.

Ginny, let me know how you get on with Windows 7 - I'm not too sure about it.
