Thanks Davie,They got me again with the abreviation right after the occ.I'll get that tatooed on one of the kids then I'll remember.(Does that count as a sign of addiction?

Sorry Mesklin,I tried twice to load my Tif but it took for ever.I finally decided to run some scans on the computer to see what was slowing things up as i hadn't had any prob doing last week.When I tried again it worked like a charm.Problem was the first time I saved on my comp as a jpg and realized my mistake so I scanned a second time as Tif.I should have deleted the jpg right away and then I wouldn't have been able to mix them up.I'll have that Tatooed on another child. :D

Re: "L" or "B"

Hello Heather,


"L" means landward, or outlying;
"B" means burgh, or more central.


Regards,

John
