Afternoon Sundog.. We had Jessie's play, and that made ours eventful for a change..;)

[Sundog]

What fun.

My camera came back, fixed for free. That was nice.

I'm still trying to free up 'time' for a FOTKI account, I've got a builder going again on 3 odd jobs. I'm raising the height of my fence from 6 feet to 7+ feet. Got a crop of 6'6" neighbor boys. I'm using 2x10s for slats.

A study of 8,000 Italians found that regular pizza-eaters were 59 percent less likely to contract cancer of the esophagus, while the risk of developing cancer of the colon fell by 26 percent.

Who would have thunk it .. I've been ording pizza every Friday night for years and all this time I've been helping my colon

In XP you can bring up the Main Folder and in View select Organize icons, then check - By name. I hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll give it a try

You know what else is news / folklore about that?

Incidence of colon cancer is almost zero in Mexico among populations that eat corn tortillas and hot sauce with Jalapino peppers as a mainstay food.

[Mo1]

For a long time I was a mess

I can relate .. we all where a mess after our friends accident also. Like a really bad dream that you wished would just go away.

I would see his mother at church on Sunday's and she would just cry all during mass. It took her a long time to get to the point of not crying all the time and move on the best she could. But Mike was/is never far from her thoughts

[Mo1]

Oh that is such a pretty view .. There are so many places I want to visit .. that one is now one my list

With Jalapino peppers ... I'm sure .. they would clean out anything .. LOL

They are good .. but dang they are hot ..

All things in moderation, the salsa is made with tomatoes, cilantro, onions, peppers and salt, the tomatoes and peppers are grilled first, charred actually, then peeled. Gives it a 'nutty' taste.

Here is something that just gave me a slight rush --

Britain's Oldest WWI Veteran Dies at 108
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 11:32 a.m. ET

LONDON (AP) -- Jack Davis, believed to be Britain's oldest World War I veteran, has died at the age of 108, his son said Monday.

Ken Davis said his father, who served with the 6th Battalion Duke of Cornwall Light Infantry, ``just peacefully drifted away'' at a nursing home at Stoke Hammond, England, on Sunday.

He joined the army at the age of 19, seeing active service in France and Belgium, including the battle at Ypres in July 1917 which claimed a quarter of a million lives on all sides.

Davis went with the 6th Battalion in 1915 to Ypres, where German forces used poison gas for the first time, said Dennis Goodwin of the World War One Veterans Association.

Davis was sent home with trench fever the following year, Goodwin said, but was back with his battalion at Ypres in 1917.

``This war was the most disgusting and humiliating experience a man could suffer,'' Davis told an interviewer recently. ``I remember there were days we did not have a change of clothes and we had rats running around us.''

Despite his age and increasing frailty, Davis was delighted earlier this year to meet Prince Charles, the commander-in-chief of his old regiment.

The pair chatted at Kew Gardens in west London in April at a reunion organized by the World War One Veterans Association, which now has just 34 members. It said Davis had been the oldest British survivor from the 1914-18 conflict.

``The prince of Wales felt incredibly honored to meet Mr. Davis and very much enjoyed talking to him about his life,'' a spokesman for Charles said Monday.

Ken Davis said his father had been looking foward to attending a garden party at Buckingham Palace this week. ``When I said he might meet (Queen Elizabeth II) he said `Yes, I will go as long as the weather is fine,''' the son said.

Davis is survived by his son, five grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. Funeral details were not immediately announced.

Instead he went to meet the Queen Mum

God Bless you Jack Davis and thank you for your service
