JC 'succinct'..you are having a laugh. Every post JC makes is like a short novel, it's saved me no end of cash buying books from Waterstones' lol

And much more interesting sometimes!

I deleted shed loads of my posts the other day because they contained no useful info at all, you know the ones when you ask for further info and it never comes etc....Maybe I should just leave them it's no bother I suppose

And where the heck is the other novelist of late; Tracey (WayneTracey) not seen her on here for a while?

Hi everyone,

I too received a pm from Gwladys and I am the culprit of being so nosy that I just had to spend my last 30 credits on that census for James Foster. Here is my message from Claudia:-

Hello Mel, Thank you from the bottom of my heart, but, how on earth am I going to be able to repay you, for your support and kindness. Éven though, I've been researching my family for a few years now, I feel that I am just the beginner. I may never find any further information on James Foster, but I've found some truly wonderful people on here.

Thank you
Gwladys

I help lots of people if I can but don't often get a lovely reply but this one brought tears to my eyes and makes the whole thing very worthwhile.

The only thing is we have not been able to go any further back for Claudia than her james, which I for one find very annoying and would love to help her further if I can. I shall keep digging and would be gratefull if others could help us. I have to go out today but shall carry on later when I get home.

I don't know why I read Cynthia's post this morning but it has made my day!!
Thanks for putting it up C.

Viv

Ginny, Janey is nothing like a Mills and Boon novel!!!!!! lol

I think it's a bit like having our own personal Thesaurus around when Janey is onboard!


Mel, let's hope JC comes back on here - she may be able to help out and she's like a dog with the proverbial bone when she gets going on a search.


AOGG was offline a few days ago because she had been 'cut off' and had only just got back online but, since then, she's disappeared again. I wonder if she is out gallivanting a bit!!


I'm now glad I posted that reply from Gwladys because it has encouraged so many helpers on here.

Cynthia, you said; Ginny, Janey is nothing like a Mills and Boon novel!!!!!! lol


How very dare you, I NEVER made mention to Mills & Boon, are you attempting to 'dumb us down'...OK I'm ducking now all you Mills & Boon readers are screaming at me!

Theres nothing like a good book and Mills & Boon are NOTHING like a good book...still ducking!!!!

I am with Ginny on Mills and Boon.....total and utter garbage.
But of course they were first introduced for the bored housewives many moons ago I believe,so no doubt some of the "older"ladies on here enjoy them still to relive their youth and romance>>;)

I now run to take cover with Ginny...

Oh dear Viv, I'm having a tough day at work and keep popping on here to escape!

You've just made me laugh out loud much to the interest of others around me.

Well I thought I was being risky with my views on Mills & Boon but well Viv I have to give it yer....'older' ladies and 'bored housewives'...excellent lol

Might suit our Cynthia down to a tee!!!!!!!!!!

Hold cover Viv...I'm coming!

Just thinking of a suitable reply!!!


............and you might well run for cover you cheeky pair!

Still ducking...............na na na na na!

love yer

Edit; You STILL thinking 14.14pm?

And here's me, never having heard of this Mills & Boon.

Ha, you all think you've seen ... you ain't seen nuthin yet.

This is my 6th day on the patch, and the first day of attempting complete abstinence. Yes, I aim to be a born-again non-smoker.

So far I've had every possible side effect. Blisters from the patch itself. And the most realistic and distressing nightmares - three biggies in one night - ever.

One of the nightmares was that the double-barrelled-surnamed daughter of Ms. Snot who was sending me uninvited snooty PMs that day had become a squatter in the apartment I use for my office. I'd had an odd thing happen the week before, when the magazine I was sure was open in my bathroom suddenly had another magazine and an Ikea catalogue on top of it. I didn't remember putting them there. I started to wonder whether someone was getting in at night and sleeping on the spare bed here. It made me antsy. So in my dream, I decided there was one way to find out -- at 7 a.m., I unlocked the front door and shouted "fire! you have to get out!" and sure enough, there she was in a panic at the top of the stairs, Ms. Snot from GR's daughter -- realizing she'd just outed herself for breaking into my office.

The next one involved being at an amusement park waiting to go on the Ferris wheel - with No.2, who was of course the person I went on a Ferris wheel with a year ago. But this one had a baby falling out of it, and nobody helping it, so I ran and snatched it out of harm's way ... only to discover it was really a mechanical doll and now I had stolen it. Anybody see Medium last week? The crying baby, and Alison kidnapping it? I did, right before I fell asleep ...

Anyhow, if ya want some exciting dreams, get yrself the patch. Just be careful what you do before you go to bed!


An o' GG, I think, has been *in* cavorting. I shall make discreet enquiries.

Thanks for that JC, think I will stick with the ciggies!

Sounds a bit like 'Acid' only legal...fantastic!!!

Bring on the Emabassy No 1

I have been cavorting and thanks for missing me but I also have swine flu which hit me last Thursday and now I know why they call it swine flu - it is an absolutely swine - the cavorting was delightful by the way.

Also I changed my ISP and was off line for a week and half - now I am on line I cannot gor the life of me get to grips with how it works

plus side of swine flu so far is that I have lost just over half a stone in five days!!

TUT TUT Ginny,,fancy knowing about those little things that give you hallucinations!!

Def sticking with the ciggies me,I have enough vivid deams anyway,the ones I dislike the most are when I dream I have woken up from a dream and then realise I was only dreaming that I had woken from a dream,prob something to do with that misspent youth of mine.
Strawberry fields forever,,,,,one of my favourite songs!

Mills and boon,
Barbara Cartland made them famous I think,step granny of princess Di,
romantic novels of the most inane and look for the sick bucket kind to read.
One of my aunts is a great fan,but Ive always thought she was quite a daft old bat anyway.

I love Medium,and Pshycic detective ,but they are all re-runs here at the moment,but I dont think I have seen that kidnapping one on Medium,maybe we get them after you?.

You probably do get the big US network shows after us. We're a month or so into Medium, House, etc., at this point. We get 'em simultaneously with the US broadcast.

Does anybody know whether Law&Order UK is coming back? I don't even know what year the season we had this summer was made. It was summer fill here, and there were only 6 or 8 of them. Much as I like seeing Danny Balwin again, it was disappointing that the plots were carbon copies of the US show. Like when a US version of Cracker was made, and I thought Oh goody, only to discover the scripts were the same as the UK ones I'd seen twice.

If you happen to get the US shows Trauma and Mercy (supposedly the ER replacement), stay away. Night-time soap of the most drivelly sort.

And speaking of inane drivel - does this Mills & Boon rival Harlequin Romances themselves?? They're Canuckistanian, you know. ;)


Oops, ~~~ to Ann o' GG, to whom I did send best wishes by PM!

And speaking of inane drivel - does this Mills & Boon rival Harlequin Romances themselves?? They're Canuckistanian, you know. ;)


YES..

I have seen a couple of those Harlequin books in our local quacks,well we normally wait an hour or 2 to be seen,but even then I would rather read the notices,in english and welsh ,on the walls.

~~~~~~to Ann OGG ,,nice to see you to see you nice.

I got to spend a half hour reading the notices on the walls this morning, in English, French, Chinese and Vietnamese, and two others I don't remember. Mind you, I was 20 minutes early (because I was supposed to be for filling out forms for switching clinics, but I already had when I started as a walk-in).

Why? Because all the reading matter (and toys) had been removed from the waiting room. Flu fear. I had to sit with the blood pressure machine for 10 minutes staring into space, not a page to read. Just thinking about not thinking about a cigarette ...

Oh you girls do make me laugh..........................................

A couple of years ago my OH and I went on the patches. Great except I had awful nightmares. OH seemed to enjoy his!!!!!!

Back on the baccy now and happy again. Both of us. I did try going on half a patch for a while and that worked ofr me but still had horrid dreams.

Give me a good old ciggy any day and I shall be happy. My mum is 85 and a half and has smoked all her life. Well since about 14...............................

We're going on the practicalities. (Also, I have high BP and a huge family history of coronary artery disease, and No.1 has Type I diabetes, so we can't quite just flip off the risks.)

A pack of 25 here is about $8. ... Oh, hey, the loonie is stronger than I'd imagined at the moment. $8.00 Cdn is about £4.60. You get two people smoking two packs a day ... and you could fly to Australia in no time. Howzat compare?
