	Thought for the weekend - 'never take away anyone's hope'. Obama - replace the letter 'b' with an 's' & what do you get?

	Patricia, perhaps you are trying to add symbols? They are not permitted, nor are spaces. Huia.

	Morning Huia, yep, the boards are much better now........ everyone is trying out all the new things and playing around with pictures. I've been using Firefox for ages, I think it's much better than IE. Maddie and Linda, can you send some of that rain up to us please? Never thought I'd hear myself say we need rain! Cath, I've got a pile of ironing as well, will it be OK if I just stick it on top of your pile please? Shelly, has anyone recognized any of the people in your photos yet?

	Rita, Stephen's done it, he's got a picture of his granddaughter up. Come on Rita, you can do it, you've got photos on your computer you can use - we can't have you looking like a blue man forever. Hope you enjoy being waited on by your little lady, Stephen. The phone's ringing, be back later.

	Good morning to you all from New Zealand (evening). Now you can see what I look like. The boards have certainly been buzzing since these new changes. I am one who cant see the emoticons, they come out as colons and brackets etc but I can put them on, as I changed from IE to firefox so I could see what they all were, and I made a list in a notebook. I dont like firefox though so changed back to IE. Marilyn, when will you be meeting our mutual friend from France? Huia. <3

	Morning eveyone. we had rain last night and in the middle of the night. I heard thunder but was too tired to worry about it then. The gardens look better for the rain. I hope it went Linda's way so that forest fire would be out. I dont recall us discussing Lewis Shelly I know Sue (Posh ) and I had the same namse but we could not marry them up Horwood and Mascal. they must have be related someway too many things married up but not our ones direct. My Lewis origanted from Bridgnorth in Shropshire (sometimes called Salop ) then they went to Church Stretton. still in Shropshire. I have no idea either stephen of putting a prfile on. so we will have to r emain twins till you get your on. LOL. Researching Lewis. Lee. Horwood, McCallum

	:D Morning All ! Miserable as sin here this morning. Still I'm alive.....that's a bonus, for me anyway, don't know if it is for those that know me. Heading off to see my wee grandaughter get her Brownie Badge, Hostess ,I think it is. Going to serve us with tea and biscuits Should be fun. Catherine, I don't have many photos of me from around 1967-1982.. I rather kept out of the limelight then. Just when my lovely face and body was at it's best ROFL Then it was downhill all the way. And still heading the same way......even faster. My wee Yacht is feeling neglegted just now, this bleeding leg has held me back, If Lord Nelson could manage with one arm and one eye, I should be able to do it with one leg surely. I often wondered how Lord Nelson knew where to park HMS Victory until I noticed the big Disabled Parking Bay on the dockside at Portsmouth. He had a reserved spot. ROFL Well better head off and get spruced up. Can't keep a lovely lady waiting can I. Have a good day ya all ! :D ;-)

	Morning all Thanks Pauline I can now add Shelly to my GR fRiends folder. It's raining It's pouring Thank Goodness !!! A) The garden needs it sooooo much and B) It might help the firefighters down the road, I sure hope so. Had a nice meal with friends last night, it is A's birthday today. And he hubby is getting better after his brain infection. Though he does have short term memory loss and he sleeps an awful lot still. My friends from Australia are coming to stay for a few days from Wednesday so I need to get a bedroom ready for them, not much else to do as I won't be able to garden today and I did the washing and ironing yesterday. Have a good weekend everyone Linda :-) <3

	You're up late Linda, I expect it from Shelly but not from anyone else. I've sent Shelly's photo on to you and I think I've sent ours to all the new friendlies.
