Jane - 'nudging up the thread' just means typing something in the reply box so that the thread gets put to the top of the boards. Usual quick type is'n' or 'nudge'

Some people are idiots. Have they nothing better to do with their time than have arguments on here.
Keep up the good work of helping many people.
It's helpful people like you who do so much good for others who are stuck and getting frustrated.
BTW, What's nudge up their threads mean???

i would also like to add my support, most of us use this board regularly and we see all the help and time that is given in helping others who aren't able, for whatever reason to find results themselves, (lets face it the questions are coming in non-stop) without people like yourself, who spend their own free time- and money- looking up information, an awfull lot of people would give up. i don't know what the problems were but i'm sure there are many more people out there who are gratefull for all of your help in the past, so don't give up on something that you obviously enjoy doing, some people are just born to moan, doesn't mean to say you have to bow down to them. virginia

I like that 'Positive side of life'
So much that I have passed on a copy to a few people I know. Thanks

Always look on the bright side of Life
De dum de dum de dum.

THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE,
Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun every year.
How long a minute is, depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.
Birthdays are good for you; the more you have; the longer you live.
Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jollier than the people who have to wait for them?
Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us.
If Wal-Mart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing is free yet?
You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.
We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box.
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Have a wonderful day, and know that someone who thinks you're great , has thought about you today!..
'And that person was me.'.....


Please, Please Please come back, it's not the same without you :-(

Last night there was yet another case of someone asking for help & then being rude to the volunteers.

We give up our free time to help & yet all too often we get our hard work thrown in our faces.

It's so sad to see Julie leaving the TTF board due to the attitude of a small minority of folks.

Lfw - I am a bit like Dea - can be a little 'prim & proper' but I think most ladies could identify with that one & think ' there by the grace of God.......' and my hubby would be surprise I laughed out loud too.

Julie do keep up the good work
