at one point there were some members that liked the history stuff NOT MEL though
it bores her to tears... when she was here visiting i took her to a historical function i never saw her so bored in my life
I should add that i did this so she could get her photo taken with the mayor of Niagara Falls...cuz she thought that would be cool
anyway he obliged her and that was that....so much for my useless sh*t as paul calls it all
