Thanks for your condolences Sabra! ... and I'm putting together pieces by pieces of my Family Memoir that I spend about a hour or two a day on it. I just spent 40 minutes on it today and my brother appreciated the information that I gave him. My sister in law is a fast typist and a English Scholar and we spend about 2 hours together on a Wednesday Evening putting it all together and hope to have it done by Fall. We wanted to do this for future generations to come. I apologize, I'm at work on my phone, so I can't edit the post to make it a smaller quote without messing up the coding. You're very welcome. I'm glad it seems to all be coming together! And that everyone is making an effort to help! I think future generations will most definitely appreciate it in the years to come. My great uncle is pulling our family history together and he gives me all the information he comes across. I enjoy it and greatly appreciate it, so I'm positive your family's descendants will too! So no matter how far out y'all spread, y'all always know who you can come back to. Sabra, no need to apologize at all. In my family - I'm the only one that remembers everything places, dates, events, and so forth and I'm like the family historian from 1970 to the present day. I also hang around with my grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts and uncles, and grand-aunts and grand-uncles as well. Because I did not care for playing with my cousins and brothers except at home. I'm kind like your great uncle Sabra, but my brother and his wife is the one that putting it all together in a logical sequential order that makes sense to everyone involved. So, it's important for the future generations knows what happening that moment of time. In short, we spend about 2 hours a week putting it all together and with the help of my cousin in Puyallup - she is working on the other half and once both halves are complete we got the whole family history in one big bundle. I will be working with her in June when we get together for a family barbecue and I will be seeing her on a monthly basis until all the pieces are put together. Once that done - the future will be able to take care of it quite easily. That's all I have for now.

I hope ... English are more attentive, less distracted, courteous and skilled drivers than most Americans. Best of luck with that one! Do you have definite plans to come to the UK, adam? Just thinking, if you were and ever found yourself anywhere near London, it would be good to catch up for a few beers one evening and talk comics, Bukowski and music.

Sabra, you're working Sundays? I do! Technically anyway. It's a grey area. I work Wednesday through Saturday, but I'm third shift, so I work Sundays also to 7am. And. I. Love. It. OMG, despite having to deal with people, (which I hate) it's quiet, except on holidays. I have lots of time to think. They allow me to pause a moment to write down notes for my stories and poems when I'm not busy with a costumer. Almost everybody is friendly. Management listens to me, I'm not afraid of my bosses. Except one, but haven't encountered any bad moments with him yet. I'm good at my job. I get my work done really fast and then they give me more work. I love to keep busy. I love to move. I'm hoping to get moved back to Stock, but I'm fine as a cashier for now. I was supposed to be a stocker, but they needed cashiers. And I want to learn everything. When I ask what something is it how to do something, they answer it for me or show me how. I get to do extra tasks. But, once I clock out, that's it!! No homework! I bring nothing home! I'm free until the have to clock back at 10pm!! I have three days off to do what I want, I end up sleeping Sundays though. But I never have to worry about what days I may or may not work. It's set. Sorry I kinda went off there, but I guess I'm really excited about my job. Sure I deal with jerks, almost on a nightly basis. And sometimes the work is piled because we're short staffed for the night and I have to get my work and another's work done, but I found that the more the work and more a jerk someone is, the more levelheaded I become, the better I can handle it. Like, I truly work better under pressure. Sorry, I'm still rambling. But yes, I technically work Sundays too.

I was kinda like that, too. Hanging out with older relatives, rather than my age or something. But, my memory's not so great. I think it's cool that you can remember a lot of stuff! So, you'll be gathering info, and they'l string it together. I like that! Teamwork is the way to go! I agree about future generations needing to know! Oh, wow! Now THAT is cool! I've only one side of my family figured out. It's super great and cool that y'all with have both sides! Unless I read that wrong? That sounds like a great plan, actually! I like it! I like this whole idea, honestly! I'm absolutely positive it'll come together perfectly.

Hey, those of you who access the site from mobiles, which app do you use if on an android system? Im getting annoyed with the one I use, but am too ancient to figure out a better way of searching the appstore to get what I want. Obviously the talented discerning peoples here know whats what...so gimme Well, unfortunately, after much looking, I've come to determine that for Android, the options are the Proboards app you've got to pay for, or the mobile version on a web browser. Even the official proboards is telling me their app is the only way to access it. I can't find any off brand apps that support proboards. I'm so sorry for that I tried

I have an Android, and I use the chrome browser. I was using Tapatalk for a while, but ultimately found navigation cumbersome. There is no good substitute for accessing this site on a desktop, but the chrome browser mobile version isn't bad, and you can switch to desktop mode when you need to access additional functions that the simplified mobile version does not have. My only regret is that, after two years of trying, I STILL haven't figured out how to switch back to mobile mode after using desktop mode. It just eventually switches back on its own after some unspecified length of time.

Best of luck with that one! Do you have definite plans to come to the UK, adam? Just thinking, if you were and ever found yourself anywhere near London, it would be good to catch up for a few beers one evening and talk comics, Bukowski and music. Yeah, in that I totally want to, and my wife is on board at some point. But no definite time line. At least the graduation of school for both our boys. But my wife's close knit family is something I wouldn't want to disrupt at the moment. I really just don't want to only ever see America in my life. Life's too short to stay stuck in one place. The only thing that might speed it up is a pit stop in Canada. My wife doesn't have any faith in the next four years here, and it might push her to move. But at least be on the same continent as her family. At least in her father and grandmother's life. I would really have no clue where though. But London sounds like a good place to start for someone trying to transition to another country and find gainful employment to gather some savings before maybe trying another part of the UK out. But I would definitely enjoy the beers and talk with you. And the gals might have something to talk about too. Especially if your lady is a fan of Supernatural. :-)
