Correct, Chad.No. The Vikings (Danes) did stay a while and control a portion of the island called the Danelaw and assimilated but the Angles and Saxons were the ones who stayed and became Christian and become the forefathers of the English. This was pre Viking Age.
All the groups are distantly related as Germanic tribes and shared some common language and cultures.
Sherrel. No need to be sorry. Some of us have been in a similar place. See the light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe just around the curve, but yes, it is there.We are looking for 78 degrees later today with sunny-breezy!
Surgeon called last evening - wow - spent 45 min on the phone with him; he wanted to make sure that I presented myself at the meeting of the oncologist on Friday.
Apparently, surgery is out of the question ... only as a last resort!
I am not in a happy place this morning -- slept very little!
SORRY .....
Wow Mike! It's been a long time since we've seen you here! Glad that you're still alive and kicking. Don't be such a stranger.Good morning All!!
Flo, I'd like a glass of lemonade with a dash of tabasco!
Please and thank you.
His multiple personalities are what got him in trouble here. You pick a user name, and stick with it.On the U.K. site I am on he was forever logging in under different names. At first I thought it was different people, but no.
Maybe he will return?
There are actually some really good how to videos I would watch while messing around with it. It defiantly has a steep learning curve, but a great track planning tool.Morning folks (well what's left of it), temps are 63 currently, may not get much warmer today but I'm not complaining. I downloaded xtrackcad and I'm gonna mess around with it in hopes of figuring it out.
Totally understandI can work from home...sort of. I am on a DSL link, so 5mb service is what I have. I also can't help people with phone calls or see them at their desk as easily. We do have cable internet in the area, but I refuse to give them any more business after poor service at another home we had them at. Every time a new house would be built behind me, my cable would get cut and I'd have to get a bill and contest it because they didn't put the lines in the utility easement. Easier for their contractor to go point to point with the wire instead running the extra in the easement (underground utilities).
One thing to keep in mind, Even if the last 3 pages of a monthly statement are blank, you have to produce them...otherwise the case worker handling the case will consider it withholding information...No common sense here. And be sure they are in order. Hang in there Swal!The permanent nursing home stay for my wife gets more complicated by the day. Now our lawyer wants all the stock transactions for the last five years. Our WellsFargo advisors make these trades daily. Only in the last week did I download the app and sell stock. There are 14 pages to print out on the monthly statement we receive. We never printed any of the stock statements out until now. How many more pages will I have to drop off at our lawyer's office. Hundreds. I can't wait until this is over with.

I have a little Spiral notebook that I use for passwords. One page per site, Name of site, user name, and password. I keep it in my desk drawer, and it never leaves the house. Great for those times when Senility Strikes.My wife has a system of writing a password on a scrap of paper and shoving it in a drawer. Eventually, whatever she made the password for logs her out.
Now which drawer did I put that in... finds them three drawers and 50 password scraps later... which one of these is the current one????
Yeah... I guess I can see it.
Last august i paid a visit to that rail museum, first time. They have two mallets there currently. This is probably the same machine and it is sitting at the back of the station:Morning folks
Too warm January continues. What a month. The temperature records for both extremes were broken.
Another photo from that 1980 visit to Snoqualmie. Ex Ostrander No 7, a 1926 Baldwin 2-6-6-2 Mallet. It was operational at that time.
