Not for you maybe. But for someone who is not super friendly and outgoing
by default, such actions may indeed by flirting. It all depends on the 
individual. Which is why I agree with Stef here. Sure, if you know someone
well, then you can probably distinguish between friendliness and flirtaciousness, but that's not always who you're flirting with. If you dont
know the person, then you CAN'T know for sure what they're up to! Well, I
guess if they're obvious enough about it you can, but that's not generally
the case.

rON, I'm sorry.  There are possibilities, however.  I used to grind out
billing code for the UNM Cancer Center, and they've come a long way,
and a lot of stuff is treatable that wasn't before.  I know there are some
options with cervical, don't know about thyroid.  My dad got bladder cancer
6 or seven years ago, and all it took for him was having it surgically removed,
and checkups since.  He was lucky, bladder cancer is comparatively
well-behaved, but it was scary and frustrating and traumatic.

>Prompted the one with cervical cancer to say 'What the hell kind of a world

The kind of world where an 11 year old girl has to call the cops on her 28
year old mother because mom's pregnant with her seventh kid and has been
smoking crack continuously for almost two days.

An unfair one.  We wuz lied to by all those happy endings, folx.

  If the figure of 100,000 readers of soc.singles per month is accurate,
and less than 100 people post in any given month (can somebody check me 
on this?), then it follows that 99.9% of soc.singlers are lurkers. So the

Well since nobody else has posted anything about the boink, I guess I'll 
go ahead.  Bob did an excellent job of organizing the boink, and about 
half a dozen netters showed up.   Big party at Bob's Saturday night was 
also a great success, with many folks (few of whom seemed to actually know 
Bob directly) showing up.  I had a great time meeting both net and non-net 
people (I got hoarse from explaining what "the net" is).   This was my 
first boink, so I am no longer a virgin.  :)

There's really nothing all that exciting to hear about James, just the usual 
stuff with raw fish, baby, face painting, hot chili oil, bananas, etc.  I 
never saw any evidence of pickles,  figurative or otherwise.  Oh, 
yes, and there was a minor incident with the police.

We have been satified users of FHS for three years.  We have no commercial

FHS is available from ftp. Altho the descendant chart feature is not on the

I got yesterday the information that possibly a brother of my
great-grandfather or a descendant of one of them was a lighthouse keeper on
the Lakes.
I therefor wonder if there are any records in some archives of the names of
the keepers and what time period they was on duty, when born and where they
came from, possibly also notices about their family etc. When they left
Krager|, Norway, they had a surname not possible to pronounce for you
americans, Thorbj|rnsen, so I guess they changed their names, descendants of
one of them took the name Williamson and Williams after their fathers given
name (brother of my great-grandfather, William Olaves Thorbj|rnsen). If the
other did the same, they either would take the names Christensen after my
great-great-grandfather, Torbj|rn Christensen, or after the given names of
the brothers of my great-grandfather, Niels and Laurits (or Ingebrigt), that
is Nelson and Lauritson.

I guess the keeper possibly lived in Wisconsin or Illinois.

Could someone provide some help?

Thanks for your thoughts, etc.  There ought to be more people like you.

In recent correspondence on this topic there was a note from Tom Lincoln
about the LDS microfilm service. As I recall it, Tom said that the LA LDS
Library provided rental microfilms at a charge of $2 and allowed copies to
be purchased for $6. Unfortunately, at least according to my local LDS
(Sunderland) microfilms cannot be purchased from the LDS here in the UK.
Assuming this is indeed correct, does anyone know whether it might be
possible for me to purchase LDS microfilms direct from some LDS centre in
the States.

Incidentally, I strongly second all the things that Tom Lincon, Tom Wetmore
and others have said about the debt that all genealogists owe to the LDS -
and am most grateful for all the help my local LDS library has provided me.

	This is not really a flame, just a minor plea to the group to
avoid Mormon bashing.  I am areligious, and personally believe that the
Mormon religion has some pretty strange tenets.  But I would like to
express this thought to every Mormon on earth: I LOVE YOU, I LOVE
YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU.  The Family History Library has got to be
one of the most fabulous places anywhere.  The resources available
there, free of charge, with open stack access to hundreds of thousands
of reels of microfilm, are mind boggling.  Mormons don't care what
your religious affiliations are; there are no restrictions placed on
anyone; you don't have to state your religion or even your name to use
their facilities (family history centers appreciate it if you register
in a log, but this is just keep track of how many people use their
services); no one approaches you with religious propaganda as you enter,
leave, or use their facilities.  Their approach is simple: come use
our facilities, help us with our project to uncover the pedigree of
man and woman, learn about us by observing what kind of people we are,
and if someday you want to join us, we are ready to talk.

	For all this I am willing to accept, even with pleasure, the
very low pressure and polite proselytizing one occasionaly gets from
an LDS church member.  I come out way, way, way ahead in the bargain.

	Long live The Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints!
