I have just had another person get back to their thread because "someone " tipped them off.
Thank you again Cynthia.

that's very much appreciated Terry - I've done little to help lately due to a change of ISP, a loss of connection to the internet and a heavy dose of swine flu!!! Apart from that I'm fine and hope to be back helping at the earliest opportunity

What's going on here then? I go out to a very long winded meeting and return to find a very long winded thread!!

I feel horribly virtuous though! Never smoked and never wanted to.

So there.


Must go and check to see if anyone else is being nice about you lot.

Some mysteries are not to be solved or else we would have none to ponder on ,,would we??;))

But you have to admit, it's an enigma. ;)

We are NOT going there again Janey,
I remember the last time you started out on that mystery about pms and answers,WW3 nearly broke out.

One of the mysteries of the universe.

How do people delete entire threads by mistake?

I'm not doing it over either. What little I vaguely recall doing. Oh no, that's right, it was the Canuckistanian stuff. Urgh. Well, if she's totally lost, I can give links again.

I wish people knew that if they do that and immediately use the "back" function in their browser they can still see the thread and then copy it somewhere.


The other mystery of the universe is: why do people who start threads reply to posts by PM while people who dredge up decade-old posts reply to them in the thread? And vice versa.

But it did save me having braces on my teeth as it knocked them straight,the dentist wrote up all about it in some dental mag.first of its kind I was told,normally people knock em out.

You think? You're the one who fell off a cow; shouldn't you know?

I'm never sure which sounds stupider. You falling off a cow (did you break something? I think) or me falling off a driveway (I think you call them lanes or laneways, the asphalt thing leading to a garage) and breaking my foot.

Over here Black fly is a cattle disease!

I gave up for 10 years once but started again. Foolish I know.

Black flies, Viv, black flies. The flying parasites, not the First Nation.

I gave you the youtube link?

Oscar-nominated animated short from the National Film Board of Canada.

"The Black Fly Song" is a song by Wade Hemsworth, written in 1949, about working in the wilds of Northern Ontario. It is an enduring classic of Canadian folk music, covered by a variety of other artists.


Some countries have folk songs about heroic exploits or great tragedies. Ours are about flies.

Absolutely NOT Sylvia.

I "ran away with the hippies"as mother always puts it.

Edit,,
Funny really as I made contact some months ago with the grandaughter of my grans half sister who was shipped to Canada by Barnardos and she was part of that sort of crowd in her home town.
Now lives with a Native Canuck,cant remember what tribe she said.
Near Thunder Bay I think which Janey informed me is a mosquito haven I believe.

The genes must have been handed down by our mutual Great Grandfather!

I stopped smoking when I got pregnant at 20 and stopped for 9 years until the last was born...then I started again, what the hell is that about?

Rebellion maybe!
