hi sal

you can always find a message in the more conversations below the main messages,jimxxxx
-
dont think anyone will surface, just been reading back, but you never know

as if we'd let it go!!

my Gruesomes are just back from a 2 week visit to their grandparents in England, and now just about every other sentence begins with "in the olden days, you know, when you were a little girl..."



obviously my mum has been filling them in with the family history

hi
-
have you read any of the old entries,lol
-
this thread was a real eye opener to the past(the good old days)
-
im 58 so ive a lot of old days under the bridge loljim

Hi there !!!
I hope the children enjoyed their holiday sho.
My grandchildren ask regularly about the olden days,but the youngest one amazed me yesterday.We were talking about the family tree,which i haven't posted to for a while(reminder to me)and i told her that some ancestors came here from Ireland in the 1800's(not that i remember them ,of course),and she said"they must have come over because of the potato famine nan"!!!
History ws never one of my strong subjects....but now i know when the potato famine was!!!!

JIM....you're older than me i aren't 58 until next week..that's why you remember further back than i do

hi sal
-
just been starting another memory, as far back as 2004,lol
-

-

-

Aye! it was a surprise to see this thread brought back to life again
I wonder how many of us are left from when it first started
Smudger,

hi smuger you can blame me for bringing life back,
-
i bookmarked it to my space, to see what i and others had wrote in the year or more we where on the thread.

Hi Jim, I never knew you could bookmark pages, its just sites that I bookmark
Mind you I have stacks of them now, with all my favourite sites that I go to all the time. I dont spend so much time on this one as I used to, maybe that is why I have fell out of the main stream
Smudger,

hi smudger
-
its a way of moving a lost thread back to the top of the message list ie
-
can be anything ie -=+
-
but mark>seems more logical

jim

Yea I never knew what "bookmark" meant until I changed over to Firefox web browser
It was always called "favourites" when I used O/Express
Smudger,

hi smudger
-
on a thread you dont need a bookmark as such, all you need to do, if the thread is still active is to click the last time you sent a message, and read the thread from there, but with this i had to go back in the older ones to find the thread to reactivate.
-
here,s a new memory,
i wish i could remember the last time when i went to town and could get from the centre to the top shops without having to stop and sit down at least once.jim

I can remember the last time went into town...it was 15 year ago.....apart frp when i ws still ging to work,and that was almost 11 year ago.I can't shop in our town centre anymore.....we go to the flat,indoor shopping malls now
We were talking about going shopping last week,and the grandchildren couldn't believe i used to go with my friends,,,with rollers in my hair and a head scarf on!!!!
Even I can't believe it now!!!What must we have looked like!!

hi sal

im getting stuff for the ww2 two one and for kat

the memories are returning lol jimxx

Yea! when we go up to the precinct either in Glenrothes or Kirkcaldy, we get one of those Mobility scooters out from that mobility scheme, that we signed up to

Its really great, as we can spend the day driving round all the shops, as its a big place and we could never walk it
Smudger.

hi smudger
-
not to the scooter stage yet, but getting up town walking is getting harder, i,ll have to get a bus from town interchange and get off at the top end and then work down to the center,lol
-
sa call from a simon58,last night brought back a memeory from 2004
-
i wrote a guide A22282113 on a missing plane in 1944,re my mate/neibour.and a simon58 found it and contacted me,that the person the guide was mainly about was his great uncle.
-
we spoke on the phone from 9pm till 11-30pm last night(i have a thing called)talk unlimited.
-
so it brought back the memories of the 8 months or so of resaech i did for the story.so even something that was a memory back in 2004 is now something that as brought joy to a family memeber jim

opps A2228113 MEMORY IS FAILING LOL

WOW!!!! i remember all the work you put into researching for that jim.....How nice that someone related got in touch
I am still doing family tree research,although some of the ancestors are proving elusive.It gives me areal buzz when i find one of them though!!!!!

SMudger.....i've never "borrowed" one of the scooters when we go shopping,i just use the wheelchair....i have a scooter at home,but i don't think i'd be safe let loose in crowds!!!

hi sal

im at the lib now, ive found the site raf command forum,but there as been no followups to the original messages two yr back

ive printed the entries me and a lady linzeeww2 put up for simon58

only ten mins left, have to gojimxx

Aye! there is no age limit for "scooter users" I am 55 and Mk2 is 53, We only signed up for the mobility scheme as its handy for us when we ever do get out
Smudger,

back from camping
and every morning, coming out of the tent, or running to the loo in the middle of the night, clutching a torch, reminds me of when I were a lass
(I'm 42 so not that long ago...)
