First Foot
I had it covered left stuff outside, then after midnight brought in the shortbread and Dewers,
No coal here in Florida (should have used some grill charcoal.
Hair is still partly dark.

I had went to Cameron's British Foods in Cape Coral on the 31st.
I bought some Scottish pies both meat and pork, also some shortbread and a box of scone mix.

Mary:
Sounds like you've covered most of the requirements......come up for the AGM and we'll send you back with some TN coal!
We toasted with Robitussin!  ;D

Happy New Year!

Mary and Tom

Donna:
Hey Mary & Tom,
I sure hope you're feeling better!

Did you notice that the Forum has a new member for 2009 already?

It's been rather slow on the Forum and this would be a wonderful time for some of our "Shy" members to introduce themselves!  Just a couple lines to let us know who you are and what part of the country you're from!   PLEASE   :-*

Donna

Mary:
Hi Donna -

Still not 'well' but somewhat better. This flu really hangs on!

I wish you well getting people to post.......I haven't had any luck!  Stu tried stirring the pot too...... Can't seem to get them to understand this isn't just a READING forum - to have any good stuff TO read, people have to post what they have/find so others can comment, add to it, question, etc.  It simply can't rely on a handful of people to keep doing the research and posting!  I look at the stats on how many people are online reading it and it's incredible..........but they don't post. I guess they think they don't have anything interesting??? How about your genealogy dead ends? Where did your Thompsons emigrate from (Scotland, Ireland, etc. and what port?) and where did they land in US?  All kinds of things could help someone else's research. But this requires participation - not sit back and let others do it.

I'm working on other things at the moment (website and 501c3 foremost) and just don't have time to do much posting now. You know, if there's no mandate for a forum, we can always drop it.

Stirling Thompson:
Mary, glad to hear you're feeling a little better and hope you complete your recovery real soon!

Welcome to the madhouse to BillT!

Donna, now that the holidays are over hopefully things will pick up a bit around here. I went North to see the grandkids in Maine and had a total of 17 days away from work so I had a bit of catching up to do and that has kept me off the forum except for brief check-ins to see if there was anything major going on.

Truthfully, I don't understand why most folks seem content to sit back and let someone else do all the work. That's how you end up with a few people dominating the group and then you start getting complaints about people being left out of what's going on. I don't know but I'm sure everyone has something to say about something that's important to them and might be to the Clan if someone is willing to bring up the subject. Anyways, I'll try to back on the stick and start posting again.

Happy New Year to all and may 2009 be the Year of the Clan Thompson!
