I know where I was - sick in bed with a gastric bug!! My mother had been over to our house to retrieve my 6 months old son, so that I could "enjoy" my misery in peace. Mum had television, which we didn't, so she decided to sit Philip up with a cushion behind him, so that he could watch history b

Hi Jean Men on the moon didn't seem too big a deal to me in July 1969, I was only 10 years old and desperately missing my mum who had recently died ( aged 39 from lung cancer - she never smoked but my father did by the packet load), I had been dumped into a convent boarding school (not wanted at ho

Hi everyone I don't remember precisely what I was doing on this date but it must have been a clear night - I recall looking up at the moon and telling myself, in disbelief, that people were there. I get claustrophobic thinking about being in space, in a suit, in a capsule, in trust of those on ea

Hi All, Alice wrote that she can't work her mouse without her thumb. My suggestion is get a Turbo Ball (actually mine says Kensington Expert Mouse on it). It's a ball in a box with two places to click on the right and left. No thumb needed but you do need a flat place to put it and a place to r

DH is left-handed, I'm right-handed. For simplicity's sake the mouse is on the left of the keyboard (I was more able to swap it over then he was), but it's set up with right-handed buttons. Without realising it, I now find that I use my left hand on the mouse, but leave my thumb "dangling" and don'

Sue, You might want to get her form of arthritis diagnosed, as there are very many different types of "arthritis" - Rheumatoid, osteo, gout - to name a few. I would think that treatment varies according to the type. I had an arthritis panel done last year to eliminate it as a cause of ankle pain

Please pardon, but I gotta share my excitement! I've just published my first attempt at a web site for our orchid nursery. It's been a real learning experience for a techno-illiterate like me. It's not much, I found a thingie I could buy that has templates and all that just to get it out there.
