Hi all

Happy birthday to MJ

Dally just annoys me. She has decided that a few if us are bullies for arguing against lookups on their facebook page. I don't know how you resisted Sylvia, I know I wouldn't have been able to.

Trying to ignore her now, was thinking of adding to her suggustion to GR but thought better of it.

Just put in my maiden surname on freebmd for births and every person born with that name was born in London since 1911 and if I worked it all out they probably all decended from two brothers who moved from Devon in the early 1800's

Most of them I recognised as being my dads uncles, aunts and cousins.

So where have all the others gone? there must have been more left in Devon or did the all have girls??

have you sorted fb toots?

Just a little confused but is jax trying to find out if she was born. If she cant find proof does that mean she is not of this world.

I am back.
Have been working today in a nursing home.
I could manage keeping paperwork together but OH had to do the carrying and the repairs.
Slowly trying to rebuild confidence.

It was OH birthday yesterday so we went to an international womens day event.
Had to walk back to the car afterwards at night to where the attack happened so was rather nervous.
But I took some deep breaths and did it.

Poor thing is still suffering with his teeth.
More antibiotics.

Please give MJ a birthday hug from me Sylvia.

Such a delightful age.

went back to the photographer's and now have my new passport photos.




I'm trying to think of a suitable crime that I must have committed in order to get a police photo

I've fallen behind again ...


Sylvia
"I've threatened to send in an official complaint re dally to GR on fb ....... she accused ja...x and I of hypocrisy last night.
Has completely ignored our complaints to her re that
but is fawning to JC
:)))"


I'm glad you're amused -- I don't want to look the traitor!

Sometimes it's just amusing. ;)


Basi and Virk -- I shall await the electioneering eagerly.

Corruption just makes me puke. Supposedly it makes everybody puke -- it really is the big thing behind revolts elsewhere in the world, isn't it? -- but we in the west seem to pay lip service to our puking only, if I may mix a yucky metaphor. ;)

Its your own fault JC you should not have helped her on that thread

Now she has two friends you and Wh*rley have fun lol

I have been stalking her on the Ancestry page today

Re Dally's "I took action to protect myself."

Yeah ... I sure did wonder about that. What I wonder is whether she's the reason my then most recent fb account got axed. I should ask her.

I scared her -- presumably by asking that if she did somehow manage to post the same thing five times (by actual count, I'm not being poetic) on the gr fb page, she use that little delete "X" and delete the excesses. I asked her a couple of times. That's about all I can think of. Other than suggesting she not keep badmouthing GR when she knew nothing about it, I imagine.


Sylvia --
"MJ is 1 year old today
has a very bad cold, and kept mummy & daddy awake all night"

-- kittens on the brain, that 1911 census one and mine who have been in premature heat -- I read that at first as

"MJ is a 1 year old tabby" ....

Hi JC

Yeah ... I thought her comments to you very amusing!!


You did note that she paid not the slightest attention to ja...x and myself?!! You are obviously the favoured friend :))))))



it may get interesting rather sooner than later

Christy Clark does not have a seat, so she has to find someone to step down and let her run in a by-election

Gordo has offered to step down, and let her run there and is "certain the voters will elect her"

errrrrrrrrrr ................ 40% of the voters in his riding did not vote for him last time, and the NDP is working on getting their campaign funding in palce.


I fully expect that the Basi / Virk funding will be raised during that by-election

Other issues will be BC Rail sale, what she did or did not do when Children's Minister ...................... being out of politics for 5 or so years will not help her.

Yes, everybody -- I found Dally's long lost ancestor for her when I got tired of her going on about things!

I sometimes just like to put something out of its misery, even if the person doesn't deserve the effort. And I like to show off. ;)

One of my degrees is in philosophy ...

Hey Sylvia -- have I put my genetic puzzle to you?

father: black hair, light clear green eyes
mother: blonde hair, light clear blue eyes
4 kids: dark golden brown to chestnut brown hair, medium to dark brown eyes

I'm sure I've regaled you before. My sister's grade 10 science teacher looked at her Bb chart (which she couldn't do) and said: the milkman did it.

Alleles have come a long way since then. But some genetics courses are still teaching that my sibs and me don't exist. ;)

Oh TF, that's right, the whole "should we have lookups on the fb page" debacle.

Yeah, we all bullied the poor little giant corporation brightsolid into doing our bidding.

Imagine what the page would look like. It would be worse than late at night around here, when the midnight dredgers show up on the "surname boards", convinced that every Smith in the world is related to their grandma Smith ...

Pakleds would flock to the place like ... well, Pakleds.

SylviaInCanada Report 10 Mar 2011 03:40

I remember you giving me those descriptions, and


yes, well



you and sibs shouldn't exist!

:)))

Like me ...................... I once pointed out to the doctor that I had quite an unexpected blood typing to my parents


he told me to go away and "work it out"!



'course we know much much more now, and know that there are more factors involved.




If I could have got an MD in medicine and a PhD in genetics ................. I would have gone on to be a genetics counsellor.

That's what they were demanding as qualifications on a job ad circa 1965.
