I thought at first you were talking about something you read :roll:

My thoughts are, for what they are worth cos I dont get on here much... :roll:
Its a great group, just like a big family...
I love it and feel such a part of it.

We all give back what we can, share and alike
Brilliant for you Sparkstopper and you have given so much back too :grin:

Thats what makes it all worth while.
Jo :)

I would also like to say 'thankyou'....you are such a great bunch ....it is so nice to chat with 'like minded' people, whose eyes don't just 'glaze over' when you start talking about genealogy (like everyone else I seem to know!)
I especially appreciate the help with 'look-ups' ... And those extra pairs of eyes that manage to spot your ancestors on some census or other ... I think you have helped me make more progress with my family tree in just a few months than the whole of the last year.
So 'keep up the good work' and thanks again ! :P

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

I always thought it was "The pot calling the kettle black".

That is certainly the version I have heard of -- coming from when cooking was done over an open fire and so the outside of pots and kettles both got black from the smoke but presumably the pot couldn't see its own outside and so was commenting on what it could see about the kettle ---

Always wondered where that came from - thanks MG - No matter how long you've been around - always learn something new here every day :-)

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
