algy Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Spot on Dizz, it's highly unlikely that I could have researched our family history without the internet, as they are spread all over the country, the cost in time and money would have been prohibitive. Obs why don't you have a go, it would occupy your time in a more productive manner than constantly creating havoc on here, there again you may already have done so.

observer Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 IF I need to know something, I'll source the info from wherever and whoever (incl the net); but as you get older Diz, and have accumulated knowledge, the less you need to look up!

Â How can that be true, when we now discover that a lot of things are not true or are inaccurate in their reporting. obs,how do you sort fact from fiction unless you see it with your own eyes?

observer Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 You don't. At the end of the day, the only truth is one's perception of events. Bit like the reports of an accident by witnesses, who've viewed events from different angles. All you can do is maximise your range of information and decifer on the basis of common sense and personal experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Settle Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 and according to Wikipedia There is a strong relationship between the properties of wood and the properties of the particular tree that yielded it. For every tree species there is a range of density for the wood it yields. There is a rough correlation between density of a wood and its strength (mechanical properties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Settle Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Believe the Neanderthals could only think in literal terms too!  You haven't misspelt this and mean lateral as in thinking do you Obs ... your favourite Wiki media describes it as  Lateral thinking is a term coined by Edward de Bono in the book New Think: The Use of Lateral Thinking published in 1967; it refers to solving problems through an indirect and creative approach. Lateral thinking is about reasoning that is not immediately obvious and about ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
