Bye Sue enjoy your day hun, I am better today although I'm thinking as well as eating a big meal and then going asleep straight after is not the only reason for the indigestion, I also took a second anti-inflamatory tablet and I think it has took the lineing off my stomach as all day today I have felt as though some-one has been pumeling my stomach and I have had a lot of heartburn so I haven't taken any since saturday so as to give my stomach a rest.

Yes Tec it is tomorrow I see the consultant and don't worry I shall tell him how bad it has been, though I think I will miss out the hand's round the throat bit, I would like to spend my week off free to do other thing's rather than a police cell lol.

Amanda I hope it doesn't get to cold for you hun and yes today has been a better day, not to much pain which is just as well as I don't want to take any anti-inflamatory tab's at the moment.

Good night Tec. Hope you and the Duchess sleep well and warm.
Wrap your nightcap around your neck and wear socks - and snuggle up!

Good night Diane. Hope you have a good night's sleep. Don't forget to tell the Doc everything - no matter how trivial it may be. Include the pains in the chest, but also tell that you often eat very late - get his opinion of it.
He might refer you to someone else. If so, I hope you will go there too. Take advantage of being able to find out about yourself - don't put anything off until 'later'.
Sorry, I'm dictating. I'll stop. Good night. Sleep tight.

Hello $andie, I know what you mean but glad you reported in. Come December 22 or thereabouts the days start getting longer again for you.
Do you have a SADD light? Not sure what these are, but apparently they help some people.

Hello from upside down land:-))

Diane, You are forgiven lol,xo Hope you get some answers from the doctors, keeping my fingers crossed for you:-)

Hi Colin, hows you?

((((((hugs)))))) for Sandie, hope your feeling happier soon xx

It is very sad Sue, about the miners and their families, my heart goes out to them all:-(

Linda, Glad the naming ceremony went well. Little Eve looks beautiful, she certainly is blossoming.

We had another hot day here today, its not going to last, though! Just watched the weather forecast, rain and thunderstorms for the next five days!

I see this site is still not working properly, why cant they try their alterations out first, is beyond me. We'll all end up in the funny farm soon lol!!
All the lost pages are like our ancestors, cant find them anywhere:-))

Hope everyone is well:-))

I see our 'lead in' line on the Index page is from page 1368 now. Well, that's to-day's line anyway.

Carole - to try out the alterations, they really need to shut down. What I would like to know is "are they finished?". If not, then please tell us and we will be patient. However, if they are finished - we would like to know that too, because a few people might want to have something to say about the alterations.

Well they have shut down and are now open again,so I am posting this to see what happens

Oh, my reply is now on the bottom of the page, so I will randomly add replies to see what happens

LindainHerriotCountry Report 23 Nov 2010 15:45

When I cam out of the thread and came back in, it took me to the start of the thread, the last reply then put me on the top of the page, when I add this, it will go to the bottom. I am going to be dizzy at this rate

Good Afternoon Linda,

Hope you have recovered from your hectic weekend.

The site is still messy to get around.

I don't know if everyone is doing the same, but if I want to post I click on "Chat" then on Aussie thread, then on "Post Date" on right hand side. The Reply button is top left, but the reply box goes to the bottom of the screen, which makes it difficult to recap on something someone said without whizzing the thread up and down.

Tec.....................4-00pm

Hello all that are awake. It's currently 3.56am in Far North Qld and 4.56am in the southern states. We don't indulge in daylight saving up here; lol. Although, it wouldn't make all that much difference to me. I'm awake anyway. Had some very long days and a couple of nights sleeping at a girlfriends house in a foreign bed. Now I'm back in my own and it's great. Went to bed early though and so am awake now.

I'm having some difficulty navigating to the current thread too. I signed in the the site then went to the page numbers, clicked on the last group and it kept taking me back to the very first 10 pages. I scrolled very patiently through quite a number of pages until it was ready to bring me to the last set of 10. Is there a quicker way to get there?

I don't understand why you are quoting page numbers ..?

I just click onto whatever thread I wish to go into and then click on 'Post date '

Have to go out for a bit... Will make my grizzle when I get back:)))

I've just spent 20 mins typing in response to your kind thoughts and having a general chat, pressed the backspace key and it was all whoosed !!!!!!

I'll give it another go in a bit, but had to do son's tea before he goes to work. 2.30pm
What on earth are they doing with this site..?, I love the fact 'my threads' now show new posts:)
But can't find my smiley any more.ugh.. It was Alt and 1 but now comes up as question marks;((

Pamela, when you come into the thread, you will be on the first page from when Sue started the thread. If you then look on the top of the thread, there is a green bar which says posted by - Options - Post date. The post date has a little arrow on it, if you click on that, it takes you straight to the last post. (I used to have to click twice, but it works with one click now)

Good evening/morning everyone. Another lovely day coming up here. More like it should be in November for us.

I see our pages have shrunk again. The last page was 1370 yesterday. To-day it's 1368. To-day, I came in by going to Friends Reunited first, then I clicked on the GR advertised at the top, so I've come in via the UK site where I usually come in on the Oz site. I'll see if anything is different.

Oops - I think we've shrunken by another page in the last few minutes!

Thank you for the tip of going to 'post date'. Didn't know about that one. Now, though the posts are upside down to what they used to be. The older ones are to the bottom of the page with the newer to the top. But, from reading everyone's posts there's all sorts of differences going on.

Strange. Feels odd.
