Ever the optimist then Tec ....lol

Sue , I've just had a peep at the " Help Clinic " and it looks just like the Records or Trying to Find boards . Can't see the point really in just adding another board ?

Oh as if anyone would come to me for help, Tec:-)) The Help Clinic is manned by a few members who have been selected as 'experts'. Good for them but I'm thinking that it's a lot to put on a few people. If they can't help I'm wondering if you can put up another thread on Tips or Records asking the general 'population'? I just ask Linda - she's my personal researcher:-))

I think it's grossly unfair that I don't have a Help Clinic.



Even Jehovah's Witnesses know I need saving.

Is everyone in the Help Clinic?

I'd complain, Tec - fancy not having a Help Clinic.

I don't get visits very often from the Witnesses. Last time I spoke to them they were affronted by the comment I made that I didn't think God was so insecure that he would be offended by those who didn't call him Jehovah. It was just an observation but they really haven't been back since.

LOL..... I'm not Tec : )

Sue, The Witnesses call on me regularly, but not my neighbours.

I think maybe they get short shrift elsewhere, but I always have to argue with them - I think they consider that a positive result lol.

Good on you Sue, great to think they had no answer to that one, my own name for him is ( Extra special friend )

I think it will take some time to get used to the new system and then when we do they will probably go and change it again.

Your personal researcher is back Sue, it still says I am a standard member.ai have 1916 pages
I suddenly remembered that we are off early in the morning and I hadn't packed anything. I am all sorted now

I'll do that ....lol

Regarding the " Witnesses " , they don't come here anymore as OH told them he didn't like their practices , there was an article in our local paper about how a couple had left the religion ( under some sort of a cloud ) and the rest of their family ( who remained in the religion ) where told to not contact them at all . It seems to awful that a religious order can dictate to people .
He asked to be put on the " do not visit " list : )

Diane maybe I won't get a chance to see the new system before they change it back then - oh good.
Weather here mostly heavy showers all day.

Linda are you off on holiday again?

I've got 1378 pages for this thread , have we all got a different number then ?

LindainHerriotCountry Report 18 Nov 2010 21:19

Mine has reverted back to the old system, where the box you type in is on the top of the page, I still have the "add" under the post. Before it was the new system where the typing box was on the bottom of the page. Why it has gone back, I have no idea

SueMaid Report 18 Nov 2010 21:22

I've got 1979 pages - still nothing changed for me except that I'm now a free member - I hope that doesn't mean I can no longer pm anyone.

Linda, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend at Eve's Naming Ceremony. Please be sure to give little Eve a big cwtch from me. Enjoy yourselves, and have a safe journey.
