Thanks! I won't be using the mix with my next batch. This was a
decent recipe, but I actually grew up with dark fruitcake. I'm in the
process of reclaiming it. Next month ...

Why do you think a banner advertisement should not be considered an
integral part of a web site?

I got theh free ring tone as part of a "log in" screen when I clicked
on a legitimate link. I wouldn't call it a banner and I can't call it
a popup and it's a BIG concern because it looked like a legitimate part
of the web page. Banner/popups are often carriers of something bad
that will attack unwary users when they click on them (I know because I
spent many days deleting big time trojans from an auxiliary computer in
my house that is for "kids" use). I use a HOSTS file on my personal
computer at home, so I don't usually need to think about those things,
but the computer I'm using now isn't protected by one. Maybe your
computer is protected by a decent HOSTS file - so that's why you don't
care. Most people don't even know what a HOSTS file is.

One word. Sheldon.

I liked the pictures, and so did a lot of other people. Someone has a
martyr complex.

I love pics of food. tbh, a.b.f. is the reason I paid for a separate
news account when I had dial up More fun than cookbooks, because its
*real* food!

I have individual.net, so I can't view the binary groups. So I
appreciate the pictures that people post here.

The only thing I find is that apparently Sheldumb the Idiot had nasty

Oh, Barbara, I didn't know this. I am sincerely sorry for your loss. I
think the loss of one's mother is particularly devastating, at least it was
for me. My thoughts are with you.

Whatever, let it go, I have and I don't have a martyr complexs. I'm

Thanks Sharon I enjoyed sharing them. I'm not one to enjoy
disharmony or insults so for now I'll refrain from posting links to pics
of food.

At the moment, I'm heavily into genealogy waiting eons for images to
load. The availabilty of the 1911 census online is wonderful but it is
only searchable by location so it is really slow going. Most of the sub
districts have 10 - 20 images, all that must be downloaded and painfully
read through I hate dial-up! While the images are loading, I
planning dinner and debating whether to make a few batches of cookies
for Christmas. I can't believe we are so close to the holidays! I'm
planning on making a batch or two of fudge later today for gift giving.
We don't eat fudge ourselves but I've been told the fudge I make is
quite good. We are supposed to visit friends tomorrow. They just moved
so I'm wondering what I can make as a home warming present. I'm leaning
towards homemade bread, jam, and a hot chocolate mix with nice mugs
tucked into a wicker basket and wrapped in tea towels.

Patches, do you have library on-line privileges where you are? (I can't

Dee, I'm in Canada. I can download some images from the National
Archives which is really nice if I didn't have dial-up but still cheaper
than travelling. I finally got a sub to ancestry.com that I really like
too. It saves a lot of leg work but for what I'm doing I still need to
see the actual records. Still it saves the travel costs of narrowing
the sources down.

Your mentioning the 19911 census led me to wonder if you have access to
1910. Is your interest in the 1911 census just the fact that it is a
confirmation or you might be looking for someone that wasn't in the 1910
census?
Lots of libraries in the U.S. have access to Heritage Quest. It is free to
anyone with a library card signing up at the library and viewing at home. I
find the download many times faster than ancestry. Saving to desktop has
been many times faster for HQ than ancestry. I've been a subscriber for
many years now to ancestry. Both are good.

Dee, the 1911 census is for Canada not the US. Census records in
genealogy are important for determining where your ancestor was but
really they just provide a stepping stone, something many doing
genealogy don't understand. That is, while you can show someone was
living in a particular location at that time, you really can't take
things like the DOB as gosbel. I'm accessing the 1911 census through
the National Archives not Acestry but it is really slow going because it
isn't indexed by surname only location. I've been into this hard core
for numerous years and quite often travel througout North America and
Europe simply to get a tid bit of info or a pic. It's really nice there
are more images of actual records available online. I don't mind paying
for the info either. I like Ancestry. I've checked out Heritage but
only briefly so I best check it out again.

Both sound good. Good luck with your genealogy. I haven't
worked on mine for a few years. Maybe since the 1911 census is
available, I'll get back on it.....Sharon

Patches, if you are near a city, the Latter Day Saints Church has a
family history centre (there's one in Chatham which I used frequently in
the past) that is open to all at no charge....Sharon

Not at all, but one needs to know the address first.

I like the idea of Googling for a website, which is what the visual
cooking site will be.

You're having trouble uploading pictures *where* via google? I know
you've gotten flack for posting LINKS to pics here, but that practice
is well within the boundaries of rfc and the person/persons who
criticised you were completely out of line.

I was having a lot of trouble seeing pics on the yahoo website. The
flack was not very nice especially as I thought post only the links not
the actual pics was acceptable <shrug> Oh well, it frees up time for
cooking instead of picture taking.

BTW, the house smells wonderful! I've been holiday baking and right now
roast venison and potatoes are in the oven. I took pics of the roast
venison along the way for my own records. I'm making a spinach salad
and steamed carrots to go with the meal.

You sure are getting a lot of mileage outta that posting-links-to-pix
thing. I had a Buick like that once... but I digress...

Roast venison, potatoes, and spinach salad sounds pretty good. What
time will they be ready?

(BTW, Sheldoon and Projectile Vomit Chick don't speak for the group, and
AFAIK nobody takes their abusive and ridiculous opinions seriously)

Best regards,
Bob
