Hmmm..I guess Big Bird will no longer be chastised for having an imaginary friend. Mr Snuffalufagus wasn't imaginary..

All my kids had imaginary friends. My eldest son's friend was a horse named Bessie.

My youngest's friends were called Tiefighter and Snailer and Snail-tail.

I don't remember any of the many friends my middle kid had. How weird is that?

Not weird at all. As a middle child myself, I'm just floored when my parents remember one of my friends.

[Tuckervill]

Ha!

Well, he was the baby of the family for 9 years, so he didn't suffer too much from midkid syndrome. There are lots of baby pictures of him, for example.

Take a moment today to remember June 4, 1989

[Zen]

It's still June 3rd here but we will be reminded numerous times during the course of the day.
I always think of that guy in front of the tank and hear Tom Petty

I got custom orthotics today and my insurance paid 100%.
Great for me but how unfair for others. Why can't everyone pay the same premiums I do and get the same coverage?

[Tuckervill]

Thanks for clearing that up, Zen--I didn't know the date of the Tiananmen Square until today, and now I've learned more via Wikipedia.

My older son's "friends" were Boris and Doris. They appeared around the time #2 son was born and lived with us for a couple of years, until older son was 4 or 5.
We still refer to Boris and Doris once in awhile. As in, "Boris did it."

Today (well at least up in the northern hemisphere) is the 65th anniversary of the D-day landings. Spare a thought for the servicemen who landed on The Juno, Sword, Omaha, Gold and Utah beaches.

Australia's last WW1 soldier died this week...

CC, I had to laugh. I almost forgot the date until I had to write a check. I did have an uncle who lost his mind on Omaha Beach
switching topics, the Hocus Focus may have gotten on the TV Show "Cops". I was driving to REI and one of the Rancho Cucamonga's Police cars that's set up for filming (They have extra lights on the light bat for filming at night) went through a Traffic signal with its lights on. They did have someone pulled over in front of REI

[crazycanuck]

Helps if i have my eyes open when i'm reading...I've only watched the show " Cops" once & hated it.

[Fredwina]

"Cops" is a reality show that focuses on Police Officers:

or

most of the more "entertaining" calls come in late at night
The website will let you look at last week episode. I'l try at and let you if I make it
I don't think I will. I think it was a shoplifter from the mall. But they did have a helicopter up

oK, Did everyone get arrested?
I did buy a new PC over the weekend. why does everyone gripe about Vista?

[Biciclista]

Vista was originally released on a lot of computers which were not fast enough , didn't have sufficient memory, or a combo of the two, to run well.
And like any new s/w product, there were problems and we the people were the test dummy. Hopefully, that's all been fixed by now. Happy new computer to you!

[crazycanuck]

We purchased a new computer on the weekend as well Bye bye new bike wheels

We kept getting the blue screen of death for over a month or so.Yep, new computer needed as ours was 8yrs old.

NOw if someone can please tell us how to get our old emails back, that would be great Ian found the bsg? files but we're not sure how to get them onto our new computer. There are some important contacts on a few of the emails..

Computer whizzes??
