Bill, it did it and it did it. But what fool would think anybody would look for that under the short menu and the under hours ??? I must have clicked on that I don't know how many times and tried to get rid of the pm in there, and couldn't manipulate anything. -- After supper tonight I was going to check in the discussions, hoping someone would be asking that same question. You went ahead of me. thanks ever so much. But how odd to find it where logically it does not belong! But I hope to sleep tonight. thanks for everybody's help and Mitgef?hl.
Yea, wouldn't it be something if we still used shilling and pounds. I have an old English scale here, where the banks of England put a pound weight on one side and then poured as many sixpence in the other cup until the scale was even and then rolled them into roll. I used to go to the banks constanly to change pound bills into sixpence and saw this operation going on. I used a lot of sixpence while i was in England, the rooms had showers that warmed up the water by putting sixpence in, so did these little warming stoves and coffee makers - hot water heaters actually to use for making coffee, and then the phones! The overseas calls took up enormous amounts, except when you got to the Hook of Holland to take a ferry over to Europe. Everybody used to make good bye calls, and if you waited long enough, the machines would be full and leave the lever open and you could talk to your heart's content to Europe or the USA for free until the ship would sound the boarding toot.-- Those were the times!
