Well, there's a challenge for you!
Did you know, Indie's co-partner in: "The temple of doom" was Steven Spielberg's wife??? & his daughter was in: "The Kingdom of the Crystal skull"? find her if you can!? Plus the other references in Crystal Skull to his movies?!? John

It's phenomenally easy to turn this technology to evil. Science really is a double edged sword. Everyone thinks the Atom Bomb was evil. Maybe so, but without we wouldn't have had chemotherapy, or many other technologies. I despair sometimes. It was like when diamonds were found on Sierra Leone, you'd think it would be a blessing. Until gang warfare & mass amputations broke out. They were begging for British Colonnial rule to return. As one man said "God help us, that they don't find oil, here." As Oppenheimer said: "Now I am become death. The destroyer of worlds." John

ROFLMAO Chris! No I applied for a job at Quintiles. It was the rules for drug licensing back then. Took me a fortnight to put together. I'm 110% certain I was rejected for the job because I'd been ill. It's legitimate to descrimate against someone for illness or injury, as long as you don't say so. I don't expect to be called "Dr", that is my proper title. But I really resent it when people call me "Mr". I'm not Mr, I'm either John, or Dr Miller Pls, can you correct, my apostrophe's Chris? My PhD was more convoluted, I'm more than happy to send it if you like, but you will be falling asleep by page 10. I know abit of organophosphorus chemistry. Really, Much More THAN I WOULD LIKE. Many of these weapons should be banned! As Einstein said: "Wherever there are men, there will be wars." John

Initial shock one might say but she had had her health issues. Grossly obese at times and under top specialist at Royal Brisbane. But she led a merry life. Knew all the best places to eat around town. Well versed literature etc. Very intelligent. But at the time of her death she had a husband and a boyfriend. We took her husband along to the funeral service (I thought it would bring closure for her bad behaviour) and the boyfriend spouted up front. Boyfriend got her superannuation!! Husband who had looked after her always was almost in a position of having his house challenged but I said I would sign a stat dec as to my sister¡¯s statement about the house etc.?
If she got into health troubles she would desert the boyfriend and go home to husband who ran round her and prepared sustenance for her¡.she had Crohn¡¯s disease¡and then she would devil off again back to the boyfriend. I once said to her what on earth was she doing and how unfair it was to her husband. She said the other bloke was a ¡°handbag¡± ¡her words¡.he dressed up nice and was presentable at functions whereas her husband didn¡¯t want a bar of that side of her life.?
So no not entirely a shock ¡..she did it her way. I felt sad for the people at the office. She heaved a large sigh and sat down heavily in her office chair. Bloke heard it from down the room and vaulted two desks to do CPR but to no avail and ambulance got there in 5.
Boyfriend has the ashes. Refused to return to rest of family who had plans to bury her in the vicinity of mother and my stepfather.? I wrote a eulogy ¡¡.carefully. ?:-) ?:-)

I love my iPad; I pre-booked one of the very first models out as soon as I heard about it, since it was, quite literally, just what I had been waiting for from Apple and even had cash put aside for it! Later on, I sold that model and bought an iPad Air and now have an iPad Air 2. Very happy with it and I keep it for Words With Friends or Wordfeud (I enjoy word games) and other games for iPads. ?Monument Valley is a beautiful game and there are some older ones that I play on an old Mini iPad of Harvey¡¯s. ?Doom runs on that old model and I still love that very old game! ?Quake runs, believe it or not, a special version for Mac! Sorry, I do love my games! ?:D Best Susan Anyone using Procreate? I have looked high and low for anyone doing lessons for young people as some village locals are interested for their teens -- but nothing. Even Apple shops not doing anything.
I sort of got interested myself -- but lack an iPad. I've always resisted iPads as being rather ?useless things that just run cut down software and not much use to anyone --- not in the things I get involved in anyway.
But looking into it I got myself curious. ?My husband asked what I wanted for my un-birthday..... he asks this every year then ducks and runs. ? I could get expensive.?
