Find Ancestors

I came on very late last night, as I was trying to relax before going to bed.

Managed to read that thread on General Chat.


I couldn't believe it!



But I was too tired to compose a decent response to her!

We had a super time

I've mentioned Monday's events earlier.


Last night was equally as much fun ................... but it did involve standing for the whole time of the reception


I'm knackered this morning!

In fact I was aching from waist to ankles by the time we got home last night!



But it was so much fun.


Our friend has not changed one little bit (possibly a redistribution in weight!) since I first met her as a new graduate student in 1969.

She's one of the very top people in her field, is beginning to get all kinds of rewards and honours ........................ and is still the very genuine, modest person she was at 22 or 23. She even blushed and gave little giggles at what was being said about her as the citation was being read out!

Sylvia - I had my last mammogram in the car park at the local supermarket!

:-) MC


I can no longer go to those screening clinics though


I have to go to the next level, what we call the Diagnostic Clinic

............ I have to go every year, and probably until I die (certainly until at least age 80)

Hi all

Been sleeping a lot today so that means wont be able to sleep later.

Cannot understand why my post has gone from that thread which now makes the thread nonsence. How can anyone report something when there is nothing there to report?

I replied to a LR post the other day giving some relatives details of a deceased father.
Now it has been posted again...are they waiting for the relatives to jump out at them?

ja...x

ja...x



I wonder if those posting on the Living Relatives board actually expect the wanted relative to either contact them immediately OR to be given the exact information of how to contact / meet them.


Just as apparently seems to happen on the tv shows?




maybe you should have given them the name of a mystic :-D

Good to hear that you had a good time Sylvs. Sounds like you could do with one of those shooting stick thingies........then you could park yourself for however long you needed to.


Sounds like Sylvs and Ja...x will be chatting all night ........enjoy!



Just driving home a short while ago, when the car in front of me braked as two young lads ran out of a supermarket and shot across the road with a member of staff in pursuit. Because he was avoiding the car, the member of staff gave up the chase. It was like being in a scene from a movie :-0


I rarely look at the LR board because it's too frustrating.

Yep Sylv

I think it is getting worse on there, and they do get quite upset when you try to explain their long lost rellies are unlikely to reply when they ask to view your tree

MC...it is supposed to be better than Vista....I'll let you know over the next few days.....

...and this new key board has to go...it's like a laptop board grrrrr

What's up with a laptop board....I use one all the time. I also have a desktop but both are okay....??

Fank gowed that pig as gorn

..............and has been replaced with a lovely little girl.

I have a mammogram every year done on with the private diagnostic centre but last time I went public for free and had it done in one of those mobile ones parked outside a shopping centre. I just turned up didn't make an appointment and as luck would have it someone had cancelled. I didn'r read (the rules LOL) where I had to have an appointment. Our government allows free ones every second year (not good enough for me) up until the age of 69 (again not good enough) My mother had breast cancer at 68 and she died at 70.

Yikes, I is pooped and have a presentation to deliver tomorrow....scary, not.. but none the less the pressure is on as I am the most experienced teacher on the programme

It's an easy programme but very intense, hard work for the guys who dont do it every day....three small assigments yesterday, submitted this morning...what! I would never do that to a student

....and today after the workshop, we all had to complete an a assignment and a 15 min micro teaching workshop, ready to deliver tomorow

Mine easy....its my job, but the others?

well, teachers are supposed to be able to do it off the top of their head


so they need less time than students :-D



I was talking to one of OH's ex-colleagues at the lunch on Monday

He mentioned another colleague who died in late 1975. We were in Australia so missed most of the consequences. But J said that he had prepared to teach 3 courses, including 1 plant physiology. B's death left 2 plant physiology courses without a teacher

so they reassigned J ..... he ended up with 3 physiology and 1 plant ecology programs.

He hadn't prepared too far ahead for the ecology ................... so he ended up getting up at 3 am in order to prepare notes etc for the 8 am lecture.

As a result, this early rising became ingrained .................. although retired and now aged 72, he stays in bed now until 4 or 4:30 am

Hi Persie

I'm not allowed to attend any kind of screening mammogram clinics


I had breast cancer in 1995

Almost exactly 16 years ago to the day, I was being told that I had to go in "next week" because the lumpectomy had not worked and I was to have a mastectomy.


People who have not ever been referred to the diagnostic clinic attend the screening clinic every 1 or 2 years until they are 70 or 75.

If you have once been referred because of "something" spotted ...... you can never go back to a screening clinic, even if it was not cancer or even serious.


In fact, most of our screening only clinics have now closed, and the diagnostic clinics have to handle screening as well.

That's because of the new machines that are coming on the market ............. the screening clinics declared that they couldn't afford to upgrade!

Sylvia et al ... I saw that talk about Afghanistan at FB ... and frankly I couldn't believe it.

Re breast screening clinics, apparently different provinces do things differently.

I once had a follow-up ultrasound, and once got re-mammogrammed. (Nothing there either time.) I still get sent to the provincial screening clinic.

I'd prefer to go to the private Xray clinic (paid by OHIP, just privately operated) because the screening clinics are the h3ll and gone from me (which is why, in fact, I haven't been in some years), but my doc insists the private one I'm used to isn't any good. Better than the nothing I've done instead, I'd think ...

Persephone! I thought falling off a driveway couldn't be beat! The doormat, yes, you dunnit.

My sister's house was new, the asphalt driveway had a sharp edge, the turf wasn't laid right up to it ...

That first time, I walked off the end of a curb at the shopping mall and landed on the side of my foot.

Falling off a doormat probably tops everything, including Sylvia's bus.

Well ... not FBG's cow, really ...

thanks for that Janey
