So many of them about - more's the pity........

I spotted a link on GR this morning that took me to a site displaying the description of a "Clickophile". I'm guessing that we have all encountered a few "Clickophiles" in our time as members of GR and other genealogy sites: :-D


You might be a clickophile...


...if you think copying other trees constitutes research.

...if you think you can go back 10 generations in a matter of hours or even days.

...if you are more interested in unsourced connections to royalty than sourced connections to labourers.

...if your "brick wall" was built in a day.

...if you think a man who died in 1842 could have been a soldier in the U.S. Civil War.

...if you cannot resist adding yet another fake coat of arms to your tree.

...if you accept shaky leaf hints without question.

...if you are willing to accept a marriage record that is dated years before the bride's or groom's birth date.

...if you think a woman over 60 or dead can give birth.

...if you have figures from Greek and/or Roman mythology in your tree.

...if you think everyone with the same surname is related.

...if you do not think it is unusual for a man to have 30 kids with 2 wives over 10 years.

...if you do not see a problem with one woman having 50 children.

...if you think flag clip art is more important than scanned records.

...if you think a person can have marriages and children over 3 centuries.

...if you have scans of cabinet card photos as profile pictures for people born in the 1700s or earlier.

...if you add a person to your tree without realizing there are already 10 people on your tree with that same name, born in the same year, all with the same parents.

...if you do not know the difference between Paris, Texas and Paris, France.

...if you think a 1930 census record is a good source for someone who died in 1892.

...if you think every person that has the same name is the same person.

...if you think all data found in books or online is true.

...if you do not care that the profile of your great-grandfather on your tree makes him look like a polygamist. (Assuming he wasn't.)

...if you think a bigamist in 1850 had one family in New York and one in California.

...if you think you can have an accurate family tree going back to Adam and Eve.

...if you think this means you need to look for more trees:

Porridge....thank you <3

We had about another 3/4 inch of snow last night but its starting to melt :-D

Linds, JB has a pair of those grippers and they are are really good, he walks to work very early in the morning so he doesnt mind the noise they make!

We are out tonight to our fav Italian.....YUM :-D

Good morning :-D

Porridge with brown sugar and cream? Mmmm....SO decadent but SO delicious - thank you Sylvs - much appreciated.



I woke to an eerie silence this morning which is strange as this is such a busy, busy, road. The snow is about 5-6" deep, if not more. There are at least 6 abandoned cars which have been pushed over to the kerbs.


OH says there was fun and games at about 1am this morning as around 10 cars were skewing up and down the road and their passengers were rushing around trying to push them. I missed it all........ :-D


Can't see the point in attempting to go anywhere today but, as it's starting to rain, the snow may not last that long......whoopeee.....

Good morning all :-)

I will have a bacon barmcake - thank you Sylvs. <3

See you all later,

Gins you need to buy the grips that you put on your shoes cost about a tenner get them at Asda, Debenhams or online.

They are brill except that you walk like a pregnant penguin till you convince yourself that they do work ;-)

Dea hope your feeling better now <3

I don't think we are due any more snow I hope not got to go into town tomorrow :-(

I went out to get 'provisions' earlier Cynths - I can stay in for the next week or so (apart from hospital on Monday and Friday - hubby will take me then !!)

Dea Xxx

Well, I'll say this for you Gins.....you know how to live! veggi burgers and Aunt Bessie's croquettes! Now why didn't I think of that??? ;-)



You're very sensible not going out at the moment Dea. The snow is coming down quite heavily now and, already, there have been two 'bumps' outside our house :-(

No one hurt thank goodness but it's a bit like the dodgems ! I can hear cars struggling to get a grip on the road. No point me going out cos I sure can't push any cars these days...... :-(

Why do people go out in this weather when they don't have to??

<3

The oven is on, the burgers are ready and Aunt Bessy' croquettes are on a tray

Fank you Ginns <3 <3 <3

Have a lovely evening with 'the gang' !!

Dea Xxx

Aww Dea

I dont blame you not wanting to walk out on that snow and ice.

You need to look after your lickle self

Several broken bones for me Ginns !! :-(

I am supposed to be looking after my lovely neighbour's house while she is away in India but I haven't dared cross the road for the past few days for fear of falling over !

I have managed it today and all is fine !

I have had my punishment already - I was just having a little gloat about how 'brave' I have been in the last few weeks so I treated myself to one of my Christmas chocolates !!! - SSSSooooo sweet !! - I feel a bit 'icky' now - not 'brave' at all !!! ;-)

Dea Xxx

I had to laugh myself as I hit the ground!

If it had been one of you oldies..who knows what the outcome might have been ;-)

Which 'cheeks' are you referring to Cynths ??? ;-) :-D

Dea Xxx

Do you mean to say that no one was around to take your pic Gins??? What a shame........hope you're not too bruised.........Bet it brought the colour to your cheeks though.... ;-)



We've got the white stuff too. Traffic crawling past....hopefully it will soon go..... :-(

Sorry Ginns !!! <3 ;-) :-D

I would only do that with your 'left-overs' and eat them all myself !!!

and 10 thousand DID sound like you would have a LOT of 'left-overs' !

I need to keep my strength up after all !

Dea Xxx

Forgot to say.....

............I went to the cardboard recycle bin at the co op earlier

...went flat on my bum, it was just ice, both feet went at the same time, it was like a comedy fall!
