    Just figured it out; instead of pages of “who joined”, if you go to the top box that says “show”, and click on “updates”, only the recent conversations show up! I’ll get this thing figured out by hook or crook. *bangs cane*

      Okay, Patty, I am still having trouble finding the latest comments on the discussion board. When I click on the box that says “show” or “updates” nothing happens. Any help you can offer would be GREATLY appreciated.

      I don’t think it’s you, Vera, i think it is that there is no new discussion currently? Are you seeing all the previous comments from “five months ago” and such? I did get an email telling me you wrote this (sorry I was traveling) and it brought me here.
      this was AFTER I screwed up and clicked on “read” on my messages. I thought it meant “REED”…[Read more]

    I am currently enjoying reading Richard Winston’s book entitled Life in the Middle Ages. This is a social history which does touch on clothing construction and decorative aspects of even the peasants’ homes. From the 5th to the 15th centuries, in both countryside and cities, no aspect of life in this era is left untouched.
