 :)  Hi again ,
                   As Amy said at the start we really have to admire our ancestors .
  For doing with out loads of things we take for granted today !
 Washing machines , tumble dryers ,dish washers ,cookers as we know today , micros , How many of you lovely housewifes (Fitty) could go with out them ?
        Hubbies what about the tv that saturday foots gone ! radio , cds ,tape,
 wow what about the Car !!!!!!
           If you look around the house a lot of the things around they never had or knew of ! and if they were around were they too dear for the family ?
                     So if we went back into their shoes could we cope , The answer is a big .............  NO  As we have bettered our selfs so much it would be to hard to do all this now !!!

                       Another thing to think about is illness most going back would kill you lucky we have learn't how to cure things now !
                           So yes admire our ancestors ,but be glad we have moved on   !!!!!!

Strictly speaking this is "off topic", but I thought Ticker might like it:

Spelling chequer.
============

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin not sea.

Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight for it too say
Weather eye am write oar wrong
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I'm shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My spell chequer tolled me sew. 

p.s.
it's not original, as usual "I found it on the Internet".
Who said "I admire my ancestors because ..... no internet" ??

Can I just say something??  Just for the record??  Everyone:  It's not LIASE, it's LIAISE!!  That's right!  and LIASE is not an American spelling either: it's just wrong!

Thank you.  I feel much better now.    8)

Curling irons for my hair.  I know my ancestors gave me my stick straight hair but how did they live with out a bit of curl??

By the, are we Americans such poor spellers and mutilate the English lanquage?  Just wondering ???

Really Bob.
I stole the spelling chequer poem from the net and published it on this site on 14th September.
Now I find you have plagiarized my original plagiarizing. That  is a bit thick! If you want to do this we should liaise [got it right].

Hi Hack,

I also stole it off the net and I posted it here, not knowing you had already done so ! 

Sorry ! If I had known, I could have referred to your posting, instead of having to hunt, for where I had originally seen it !

I agree, better liaison next time !
Bob
