Opera-Challenged

This is the pill I NEED, after downloading the new free Opera browser yesterday. Sure, Opera looks great, with all those skins and layouts to customize, except I can't GO anywhere, for some reason. I type in an url, and nothing happens! Or the website has a problem with Opera's security configuration---or this stupid cartoon MONKEY pops up to tell me the mods "don't like" certain keystrokes, etc. I think I'll just stick with my Firefox. I know Darwin's right and all that, but I still hate to be lectured by a monkey.

LEAH'S GANTZE MISHPOCHA

The one standing on the far left is Leah, next is her husband, and her son. Seated are her mother, left, and father. Leah's put her photos online, but for some reason the url doesn't work for me. I'll have to copy it down and manually insert it into my browser. Boy, are we getting lazy or what? You can click on the image to get a better view, as I had to reduce it or it would have taken forever to load.

My Old School Chum

I'm pleased to present Leah, one of my old friends from Pennsauken, whom I haven't seen in 30 years. Looks pretty good for an old broad of 56---better than I do, in fact. I'm hoping to get down to where she lives, but with the current price of gas....
She hasn't changed a bit, looks like. I cropped this from a larger photo showing the whole family, which I'll post shortly. Her parents emigrated to Isreal after retirement, and she hadn't seen THEM for about sixteen years or so, what with raising a family and airfares, so I'm glad she finally got over there. Her family was very good to me, almost like my OTHER family, in a way. I hadn't seen them since we moved in 1971, and it's a bit of a shock to see them as old. It's funny, but you never actually think of people you know as aging, even when you KNOW they must have. I still remember them as they were then. Of course, the changes are mainly exterior, because under the skin (be it ever so wrinkled) we still ARE the same as we were then.
To Leah and her family---biz ah hundert und tvanzig! Amen, selah!
