So it means if you didn't send a PM someone is up to something nefarious. Oh well, in my ignorance, Ron got the message twice. Cheers. Oh, BTW I tried to raise you on Skype last night but I think you were busy. Never mind, another time then. Hope you enjoyed Spain and didn't get too sunburned. |

Fortunately the X does close it unlike many of them which open up no matter what you do.

Give us an feeling of freindship amid the many miles of the internet chat. Then we could see for ourselves your locking your gate... so "Sue" can't get in and rumble with you....laughs* Ok, my story for the day...is an couple's kids brought home some Orange and green rocks from San Ononfore State Beach in California, the mother apparently picked them up to take someplace else, putting them in her pockets...the friction of the rocks in her short pockets...caused them to " burst into flame" by combustion...she dropped on the floor to do the roll bit to put out the flames...and it didnt' work...her husband ended up having to douse her with water...she is now hospitalized with third and second degree burns on her...The Orange County Public Health officials are still waiting on the tests results of of the rocks...which the firemen whom responsed to the emergency were said ot have carried out of the damaged San Clemente house still smoking. It is thought the rocks may of contained phosporous. You can see the link and video on this by going to earthboppin.net and to the Wierd and Wacky thread there under the post of "exploding flaming beach rocks" How unusual. We are this morning..gearing up for the coming Solar Eclipse this Sunday here in my territory...it's direct path will be south of Portland about 200 miles or so. I promised I'd call Earthquake Mary this week to get her address to send one of my booklets to that I just wrote about the Native Americans with general poetry/wisdoms/ legacies/recepies and what-not in it. I would like to do an sequal on it later on concerning the European "Golden era" of furnishings...to the "Gold Rush: in California with emphasis on people's legacies thatI have collected also. I could stand to finish working on my first little redition this weekend while hubby is off with the Scouts. Mary says as of yesterday she's dizzy as all get out...she thinks it's the eclipse building up and it's suppose to be an powerful one...from this weekend on... to June 5th...all the astrological aspects will be greatly affecting me unitl after my birthday in mid-June...so let's hope for the better. Really don't want nor need anything else to contend with. I've been on anti-biotics to help me along this time since yesterday.My mouth was bothering me, where the tooth work needs to be done, but the dental surgeon..whose an good one...provided for me until I can get in and see him again...in keeping down the any possible infection....also made an appointment with the cardiologist when all this time period goes away also..he already re-did an prescritpion for me also the other day...so I can set this out an bit. With that I go for now...much to do and then next week is off an on showers all week long apparently...and Arizonia...Ruth's area is badly needing the rain, as the have many many wildfires still going on across the state. Iwas watching last night as the firefighter's were going into battle them the rattlesnakes coming out of the brush trying to escape the fire....which they said was making for hazzardous fire-fighting right now also. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend. Not to much time now until the Portland Rose Parade and the Summer Olypmics in London. |

Sorry I forgot I saw it a couple of nights ago and it is there again this evening! Ron - can anything be done about it - especially if you are a premium member. Usually these flashing adverts are removed if you pay for membership of any of the sites! But I do understand that it could be a way of POE creating revenue. If it isn't bringing you revenue can you ask them to desist with the flashing adverts please. |

Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 21:16 on 18th May 2012 I'm not getting any of that. Could it be an SA based ad site??? |
cathyml Posts: 23275 Joined: 25th Jan 2010 Location: South Africa | Posted at 21:31 on 18th May 2012 It seems to be intermittent Dave, right now there isn't one, but I don't think they are SA based, will check the next time I see one! |
