Find Ancestors

Meant me? Gee thanks Sylvs...... :-P



See you tomorrow.....~~~~~

Not just a case of not having a very Christian attitude Jonesey - it's a matter of politeness really. That seems to be how some people speak to each other unfortunately. They may not like being 'preached' at but I feel they could do with some good preaching!! ;-)


Have been looking out some family history for a rellie and am now feeling bemused, bothered and bewildered! :-D


Game time!

oh


I thought you meant Cyn


:-P :-P :-P :-P

we were woken rather rudely at about 7:30 am this morning ..............


a jack hammer being operated at the corner of the street



yep ........... they're digging up the street again!



OR .............. they may be re-doing the cut out slope of the curb on the pavement, as they have put up Sidewalk Closed signs on both streets near the corner!




They have dug a deep hole in the sidewalk right at the corner :-S


Of course ................... our boulevard grass is getting another hammering .............

......... the guys who dug it up last month when doing the sewer, brought in new good soil and sowed grass seed on the areas they had damaged to "restore back to previous state"

Guess where this lot have dumped their lumber and equipment?



We also have markings on the roadway of the side street to mark where the gas line runs, plus markings on the sidewalk to where the line enters our house.


Is that next?????????????

Oh...she's here~~~~~~~~

That too Dea



Wheres the old bird tonight

I remember seeing that thread Jonesey....so what if someone posts their email address....thats their problem if they recieve a lot of spam emails ect

But to report something that has been sitting on the boards for 5 years is just downright stupid.

Yes advise new posters to remove it for their own privacy but not to play board police because it has been mentioned in the t&c's.

There was a thread on genealogy chat last week about ancestry trees 3 people had there posts removed....why?? what on earth could have been wrong about what they posted?

ja...x

GR can edit these things out rather than whooosh them....only seen them do it once

"We reserve the right to edit any post that breaches our terms & conditions or reveals any information we deem too personal"

'caring and kindness' Ginns <3

There was a discussion on local BBC radio today...what are you most proud of, re your children


I'd say lots.................but manners, which my children have!

On the subject of reported threads.

I recently took issue with an experienced GR member for reporting a post because it had contained an email address. The post was the first made by the poster and it had been on the board for less than 13 minutes before it was reported.

The person who reported it first posted that they had reported it and a couple of minutes later made a second post stating that they had now sent a PM to the OP. I posted on the thread saying that it would surely have been better to contact the OP suggesting that they remove the email address rather than reporting the post then sending the OP a PM. I commented that I could only imagine what the OP now thought of the site and the person who had reported their post.

What happened next was that the reporter posted:

"Been there, done that, got the teeshirt, they never look at private messages for days". Plus something along the lines of,"Don't care what people who don't know me think about me" and ended with "I don;t like being preached at".

Not the most Christian of attitudes and yet another possible reason why not so many GR members use the message boards these days.

The thread disappeared 2 days later but whether it was GR or the OP who deleted it I do not know.

I couldnt agree more........just buddy say if you RR'd it and WHY

Maybe it was reported for being a duplicate? it would'nt be the first time GR have removed the threads with replies and left the one with nothing much on.

I am starting to wonder if there is someone going around rr'ing threads because someone has given a link to another without even bothering to look at the other one to see whats on it.

The 2007 one which I assume was rr'd for posting an email address is just ridiculous.....it had been there 5 years :-S

It would be nice if the self appointed moderator said why they were reporting such threads would'nt it

ja...x

Jax, I looked at it this morning about 8.20 and it was there. I posted to ask why had it been RR'd.......whoosh, so it went as I was typing

What I also dont get is, the posts that gave BMD details up to 1960s was still there!

There were no other replies after ours last night and Laura hadnt come back :-|

Thats one of the reasons I dont want to stay anymore....GR have the ability to edit, but NO they just delete because some sad person reports the thread.

I did'nt know the sister thread was rr'd...I take it the poster did'nt return?

ja...x

OOOhhh - it is hot here and I am going to have a moan!

After months of longing for 'Summer', I have just remembered that I can't breath when it is hot and dry :-( :-( :-(

Dea Xxx

That looks lovely LK - I am sure that he will enjoy it !

Not sure Ginns - I seem to have a 'bubble' screen saver now but it comes up on top of my ordinary screen - NOT instead of it !!! :-S :-D

I did go out shopping earlier though and it was all black when I came back??

I have checked my settings and it is set to go to 'power save' after 10 minutes so I don't know what is happening at the moment :-S

Will check again in the morning.

That gives details of what we will do next Sunday.

Yes he loves the sailing novels and sometimes I have been able to glean a bit of history from him about naval ancestors.

Ooh Dea, nearly forgot to ask...........


Did your pc get a good nights rest last night?

Whats with all the RRing

Two threads gone this morning, one me and Jax were discussing on last night 'Sister' thread and one where the posting was dated 2007 and MC commented on ......
