You've got a Helite (or Heilite).... pictures please! I had a 1958 Heilite one wheeled tent trailer, still have the remains at my SIL's house.

If someone likes to name objects, I have no objection, it just is not something that I do. I have enough trouble remembering the names of people.

Now I am going to have some coffee out of Cathy my coffee mug before I go cut some wood on Bessy the band saw and glue it together with Erwin the epoxy using two clamps, Charlie B. and Charlie S.
Wouldn't "Caffie" be a better name, unless you already used it for the coffee maker!

Heck I've got a BIL who is an "inanimate object" and he's got a name!

No, not there!

Up on the launch bar, next to 'New Posts'.

I know that I am the only one that it bothers when I go to a website and it takes five (5) mouse clicks to leave the forum. That's just ideosy.

The other nit is the fact that some time the forum gets stuck with the 'OK idiot box' when you click 'LogOut' which means until the forum responds your just stuck there, not able to do anything else until the forum acknowledges the fact that you really clicked the 'OK idiot box'. Makes you feel like an idiot.

I'm wondering about your computer, as a rule if the forum is causing a problem for one then it will be the same for many.
So have you had your computer checked, memory, viruses, are you using Explore as a browser. I use Firefox as it loads faster.
