What could you think, when on one of the main streets in Moscow you'll see a taxi with a sign 'Taxi is free'?!

I'd be immediately suspicious.   ;)

Indeed! They just write it with a mistake (as I always write in English here  ha2ha ).
They meant taxi is vacant or available (how is right?)
I couldn't pass by and said to taxi driver what people would think  ;D


Barry, ох уж эта Оксана...  ;D

That's a good one Kathy! Speaking of ships, I know your interest is the big ocean liners but I thought you might like to see what I came across. It's the Ariosto, the ship that took my grandfather from Sweden to Hull, England in 1903. I still haven't figured out what took him to Boston but he departed, several days after arriving in Hull, from Liverpool. I laugh when I think of my 18 year old grandfather being in Liverpool! I've never heard any stories about that!

Interesting, Kelley! I've never heard of the Wilson Line (which apparently built the Ariosto). Interesting, too, that your grandfather spent some time in Liverpool. I really need to do some genealogical research and see if I can determine on which ships my own ancestors came to America.

I can't figure out how to get pics to show up in the body of the message instead of just as an attachment....

Anyway, this gave me a surprised laugh.   ;D

Kathy, Family Search is a great free site. It's run by the Mormon Church and has all kinds of records, including immigration. Of course there's also Ancestry.com which sometimes gives free access to certain records and occasionally to the whole site. I'll let you know the next time they do that.

As for the picture question, here's a tutorial: How to Upload Pictures The only change is that you don't have to click on the little picture icon. Just copy and paste the IMG link that comes up after you upload your picture to whichever hosting site you choose. I use Photo Bucket but I really think TinyPic is a lot simpler to use, especially if you don't need to save what you've uploaded.

Thanks, Kelley! I'm not on Facebook so looks like I'll have to set up an individual account. Will do that soon.

You're welcome Kathy. Even though I'm on Facebook I never use it to sign up for anything.

Even though I'm on Facebook I never use it to sign up for anything.

I worry about Facebook privacy settings (that's not the only reason I'm not on it). I need to seriously check my Google permissions and
settings. The other night I realized my phone and home PC are synchronized in terms of websites I visit: I was trying to pull up a game
on my phone to show the kids something, and a page on Roman Catholic annulments popped up, which I had been looking at on my PC.
Luckily I snatched the phone away before any of them noticed. I find out tomorrow if the case will be accepted, and if it's not then I'm
not saying a word. The civil divorce was traumatic enough for them.

So anyway, I definitely need to check out my settings on my phone and for the gmail account I had to sign up for in order to get any
apps!   ;)  Probably should have gone with an iPhone.

I think Google is actually harder to deal with in terms of security than Facebook. I've got my settings tight there on FB but I agree; it is a concern. I'm often amazed at how lax many peoples' setting are and what some people will say there. I hope everything turns out well for you with your case.

I've heard that as well (i.e., that Google is "worst" in terms of privacy). I haven't had the time yet, but I am definitely going to be adjusting my settings. I detest the feeling of being "followed" on the Web.
