General Chat

Hi,
It had gone very very quiet on here, so I tried not to take it personally and trundled off to have a free go at the 1911 census, which works a treat, I might add.

~ to GG

hi dormouse never take it personally if theres no one on thread, it sometimes goes like that

that tip for the 1911 cencus how on earth they worked out how to do that just amazes me

The 1911 trick is great - wish I'd read the tips thread before I'd bought all those credits.... Still, never mind.
I didn't really take it personally that everyone seemed to disappear. It is difficult though when you're new to the chat boards. There's all these conversations going on between people who know each other and you feel it would be rude to join in without an introduction, as it were. Also, I was told that people are a little wary of newcomers, in case we're old members in a new name, out to cause trouble!

Edit: Could I put in a request for a mug of milky tea in the morning? Ta.

I got to get some sleep was on here till late last night and didn't get to bed till 4.00 and i was up at 6.30 so i'm cream crackered.

night dormouse

How's you all today?

I read the tips thread too ...

Gosh GG, you must be absolutely shattered ...

Oh Dormouse sis, everyone is welcome on any of my threads, am sure they are on others too. I always say, "Hello" or "Hi", then receive a nice welcome. :))

Morning all

shimms i'm absolutely shattered i don't know why i just can't seem to sleep my brain seems to be on overtime.lol

HI ALL SE YOU LATER

XXXXXXX

(((((((((hugs GG)))))))))))

Not worrying about anything, excited ... ?

I relax my toes right up to my head ... seems to help most nights when I just drift off.

Have you got to work today or can you go back to bed?

Hi/bye Dizzi big sis (((hug))) xxx

hi shimms

i never used to get stressed, my friends say if i were any more laid back i'd have casters on my shoulders.lol

i think it's just a bad routine that i've gotten into i'm sure i will get back to a normal sleeping pattern soon.

sorry shimms i never asked how you were

how are you?

Hi Dizzy

i'm just off to take the 2 youngest girls to school be back in a bit

Oh GG, please don't worry ...

Am so hoping you're able to rest today, get your sleep pattern back.

Haven't heard anything during the night about my dad, so am crossing my fingers, hoping everything will be okay.

Tis absolutely pouring here, hoping tis better where you are. Long gone are the days when I had to walk my son to school, remembering them well.

Morning all pouring of rain here but not cold.

Does anyone know what the scrible is on Google today i have been sitting trying to work out what it is suppose to be.

Rita

Morning Rita.
With Google, if you move your cursor over the picture, it comes up with a caption telling you about it. Today it says: Jackson Pollock's birthday - courtesy of the Pollock Krasner Foundation, ARS/NY.
Which is a lot more informative than my latest batch of Hot Matches. ie My Tree - John Jackson, born 1822, Church Stretton, Shropshire; other person's tree - Jane Hoodlass, born 1837, Middle Rasen, Lincolnshire!!!
Any tea in that pot??

Edit: Pollack is described as a influential American painter and a major force in the abstract expressionist movement - which is why the picture looks like a three year old's to me........... LOL

When i was young i used to forget to turn my electric blanket off & wake up half cooked. Frightening when it could easily have caught alight, must have been a goodun!!
Thanks for the drink Sue but I'm having a Chelsea too @ yummy.

We are getting lots of visitors/new folk, good to see you all.

Morning Rita

How's you today? xxx
