I think maybe this is an age thing for me? I've started to enjoy and get interested in traditional things like lace and pearls and needlework things. Love watching history shows and shows like Antiques roadshow and hear the stories. No dollar store disposable throwaway goods there! and great...

I waited a LONG time when I started searching the bio sheets because they had only transcribed up to "M's" I think ... a much longer wait (a year? more? and finally one day I popped in and there they were! HURRAH Looks like they've completed transcribing the whole alphabet now though. Geneology...

Hawk, did any of your family serve/work for the Hudsons Bay Company? If so, I don't know if you are aware of this but HBC archives shows biographical sheets on their employees/servants. Some give incredible amounts of service info and person and even family data. Some give almost zilch. A great...

I know that Smith curse! Mine too, Moms side. I also remember going through every J or Joseph Smith in the Archivianet Attestations papers - I think more than 200 Joseph's and my first try, found nothing. Months/year/s? later I tried again, one by one down the list, opening every one, and...

Good stuff!!! Yes, geneology is totally fascinating to go digging up family history and you start learning all sorts of things about history of the people and times too. My dads side is documented and preserved going back to almost Adam and Eve - was Adam or Eve really a Viking? :D  Just...

Hi, I have hobbies on the brain right now and while in here I decided to look for hobbies threads, interested to read what folks in here like to do, and maybe taklk about some of my own pastimes. I found a very old thread, last posted in in 2003, so maybe a new start thread is a good way to go...

My eldest daughter and her little family live in Ottawa :) Come end of March, I'll be living in Vancouver. That's the plan. Free at last, free at last (of the crazy problems here)  ;D

Wow, thanks so much for all that 3rd Herd!!! I'll check out those places soon as I can and will keep you all posted in here. It is interesting and I'd still like to know the story behind this gun here, and will be able to inform the Legion what I learn too, so thanks. I dropped into the Legion...

A very good turnout in Cranbrook. It was good to be out and part of the ceremonies (as a civi observer) and then I dropped into the Legion and mingled a bit, chatted with some Veterans, including two who were here from the States and a first for me, I talked with a paternal side sibling and we...

Gawd I love being single!!!!!!! :D That was good MM ...

When I was young (child of the 1950's) I would have done "til death us do part" Now old and been around the block, I would say "Until the death of the relationship do us part"  ... starting out hoping to get to eternity of course but hey, I'm a realist by now. Life did that to me :D

Maybe just until I don't wanna anymore then the rules have to change or be renegotiated to suit the new attitude :D

Yeah, I pretty much agree with you there. If a partner keeps "falling off the relationship wagon" then they obviously aren't ready for monogamy with their partner. Either change the rules from monogamous to open relationship so the relationship is at least open and honest and a different style...

Thank you  :salute:

Hi, I just found the Milpoints thing by clicking on the MP beside my name to see what it was all about ... and discovered the ratings etc. I see 4 negatives by my name. Also one nice comment  ... thank you commenter for the nice thing you said :) I was concerned about the negatives??? I see I...

I think I get your drift ... and Doc Phils too :D Actually, I think that it isn't unrealistic to think that straying spouses caught out when they were expected not to be straying ... well, that can have a good effect on a relationship and end up making it stronger. What it can do is raise all...

I can only imagine what a blow it is for someone off serving only to find out their partner/spouse, girl or boyfriend has betrayed that kind of a trust. I wish people, all, could just be honest with themselves and with each other before they jump in together too far. People change, design and...
