Still going, but not as strong as she used to be. She's switched from Manhattans to red wine.

Sounds like an awesome day Kly

Oli or anyone who might know:

I downloaded & printed the pages but it's very hard to read cause the print is small. I can make it out but the questions at the top are too small and unreadable without a magnifying glass. LOL I can enlarge the print somewhat but it's still small. Any ideas? I think I won't have access after today no?

TIS

Annie, I had the same problem. Not sure how to fix it, either.

SB,

And I have an Uncle and a couple cousins who I informed that I found their family and they all want me to follow up. LOL I'm the computer savvy one in the family which doesn't say much.

Btw, my grandfather listed his home as being worth $700??? I find it all very interesting.


TIS

There SHOULD be a box that pops up when you choose to print something and in that box there SHOULD be a field in which you can set the print size.

SC,

There is and the site has a magnifier which you can enlarge the print. It still comes out small. Now I think I will buy legal size paper but I have my doubts it'll come out large enough.

The questions at the top are part of the kick of this whole survey and that's the hardest to make out. This morning, I typed all the questions out in case I can't find how to enlarge it. I can enlarge on my computer but it simply won't print enlarged. I kept going back/forth from my typing page to the census document.

My brother and a couple cousins are really interested in it and I told them I'd try to figure it out. I am wondering IF since it's only on line a short time, that you'll have to purchase it to get it readable.

TIS

Then I would suggest you save the page as a file, and then print it later after you can edit it some.

Thanks, that's exactly what I did.

I saw this commercial on tv and it cracked me up. Never heard of these jeans though. It's short but it's funny.

TIS

Those are the only jeans I wear now. They REALLY are comfortable in the crotch, and they're very well made. Duluth Trading has high quality stuff at reasonable prices.

Oh yea? I just saw a commercial just tonight and it's the first I have heard of them. Hmmm!!

Anyway, funny commercial hu?



TIS

Yep. They use that phrase ("ballroom") in their printed and online ads, too. They liken it to a large hotel.... one that has a ballroom.

Which reminds me of the (very) old joke about the crowded hotel elevator:

As the doors opened on one of the upper floors, a fellow tried to squeeze his way in and, in the rather close crush of people, ended up all the way in the rear of the car. The elevator operator called out, "Floors, please!" The fellow replied, "Ballroom, please!" A little old lady directly in front of him turned around and said sweetly, "Oh, I'm terribly sorry - I didn't realize I was crowding you!"

Thank you, ladies and germs...

Signor V.

Very nice, SV.

I have to get myself a pair of those. It's a tragedy that I've worn jeans all my life without a crotch gusset.

They make underwear, too

That underwear is GREAT.... it doesn't sag and it stays cool in the summer. They have sales a few times a year, but even at $15/pair, it is worth it!

I spent $10 for a pair of Starter Active-Pro Performance boxer briefs for walking and thought THAT was too much! ...but they're VERY comfy, so I got another.

Strange to think that in the not-too-distant future, women may be "evaluating" men not by looking at the size of their hands or feet, but by the brand of their jeans!

So, size matters - pants size, that is!

Signor V.

You know, I haven't seen Geoff around. Is he still in Florida? Or perhaps he's frequenting the sports thread where I never tread. Hope all is well.

I wouldn't have known this if I didn't hear it mentioned this morning, but it was on this date (on Good Friday) in 1865 that President Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. Lincoln was shot while watching "Our American Cousin" in the Ford theater.

TIS

I'm around, just not as active. Baseball's started up, weather's warming up and I've been setting up my greenhouses (one inside, one outside), started my seedlings, etc etc. Anyone on Facebook knows I'm alive and well!

Hey Geoff,

Glad all is well. Greenhouses? Really? Wow, you must really know what you're doing.


TIS

Well, this'll be a learning experience first.

My old man was a greenhouse lover. The only time he came out of it was to go into his shed where he made his home brew/ moonshine

And thus was born the apocryphal quote:

"But aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln... how'd you like the play?"



Signor V.

Ha ha ha!! That sounds so "Groucho" no?


TIS

At his press conference, President Lincoln told reporters:

"It's all a misunderstanding. Mr. Booth thought he caught me and Mrs. Booth together. However, she was just measuring me for a new suit. In fact, to show there were no hard feelings, Mr. Booth gave me some theater tickets."

I see the Secret Service had a pretty swinging time in Colombia no? How freekin' embarrassing.



TIS

Not just the Secret Service, but members of a ll 4 branches of the military are being investigated. The moral of the story: Never question a hooker about payment for services.
