The "Anything Goes" thread

[Richard Brown]

I have just received an email from one of my Canadian cousins.

He had forwarded a tale called " Sack lunches". Google it and check out the heartbeat radio and TV archive.

It's quite some story.

Sorry for not being around a lot lately.

Things got busy with work and life.

In a nutshell, my mother died on November 20 after being sick and bedridden for the past 2 years with congestive heart failure.

Then, we find out this weekend that my father, who had been taking care of my mother, now has an inoperable brain tumor the size of a baseball. The only treatment would add 5-6 months to his life but wouldn't improve the current state he's in. He now has about 6 weeks left.

Sorry to come in and drop this on everyone, but it's what I've been dealing with lately. I'll pop in when I can.

Hi Robertic,

I'm so sorry to read your devastating news. Please don't apologise. I really feel for you and your family. At least, let's hope that your father won't be in too much discomfort.

My thoughts are with you.

robertlc, I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your mother and the short time left for your father. I've lost both parents and know how you must feel. Don't worry about the forum, the most important thing you can do right now is to be there for your father, for as long as he needs you.

Hi, robertIc! Sorry for your loss! I think that everyone will understand why you had no time to post in iPF. It's very hard to cope with those things.
I wish you strength to get through everything that's still waiting for you.

So sorry to hear this Robert. I have been wondering where you have been lately. Will be thinking of you.

I thought the following post on the Roots genealogy forum worth copying and putting up here.

My ISP usually puts these messages in the spam folder out of the way. The main problem is that it then starts to identify all the messages to this list (and others, we're not alone,) as spam. The only answer to that one is to go through the spam folder and mark as 'not spam' all the messages which you are sure are genuine (ie all those with a genuine subject in the subject line, not 'hey' or 'hi'.) which will put those messages back into the main mail folder and legitimise the sender's address. Generally speaking there is no harm opening the message to see if it's genuine, but NEVER OPEN THE LINK, ie the bit in blue type which looks like a website address. That's the bit which will mess with your computer. As for stopping it? Not very likely. These idiots circulate lists and just send out the crap willy-nilly hoping someone will be silly enough to open the link. The only way to beat them is to ignore them.

It's sound advice
