Hell, Im real sorry Meles. 

Im going to be checking everyones profiles before I say anything.

OK - it says NannyJan is a Lady, 58, Location Dorset.  Right?

Id better go do something like that on mine.  I dont think I want to put my age, Ill think about that!

I guess Lady is meaning female not Lady something high and mighty?

No probs!

And to add to the confusion, some chose to dissemble. There are several people here who are apparently well over 100 years old  ;)

That's it .........not a fancy "Lady";  just a female and a granny, hence the name.

Not too fussed about my age; just don't believe some you might see on profiles!

I was a little nervous about this so I called a girl friend for advice - and I gotta picture up now! 

What about that guys?  Maybe Id better say people as some are girls as well!

Its the Okanagan sails which are really famous around here.  They are right on the waterfront.

Im going downtown now but Ill come back later and have a shot at a history question. 

I like this site!  Its cool!

Hi Liz

Welcome to Rootschat.  That's me in the picture - the age on the profile is right too!  Not looking too bad for 90 am I?   ;D ;D

Ask away - the really friendly folks on here - chaps and girlies (and honorary girlies!) will do their very best to answer any questions for you.   :) :)

Enjoy.

Hi everybody.

Im back from the stores and lunch with my girl friend (who is a real girl, not an honorary one!) (Well, shes not a girl anymore, more my age, which is pretty old)

Im going to go have a try on the Canada board I found.
