Elsey funeral was sad this morning - Fr. Robert did a great service ---family members appreciated the sympathies extended from our postings - and remembered with fondness the last names of those who shared their memories and sympathies with the family. St. Jude was packed.

This must be the day for dumb questions - I just looked at my profile page to see if I had moved up from being a peon, and it lists 19 visits and some names that I don't recognize. Can anyone view your personal data on the profile page?

I build computers and do tech support for a living. Hopefully, IE 8 isn't so different from IE 7 that the usual tricks won't work.

Anybody can look at your page, but your profile is not visible unless you have opened it up to all forum members. Yours is not open. All anyone can see is this:

I have a question about this, it appears by recent photos that when they moved the altar they must have had to remove some pews in the front. If so how many were removed?

I'd say about 1/2 of them are gone. What do you think, CFG?

**Campfire Girl** · April-08-09, 04:00 PM

Good question. With the addition of the pews on either side of the altar - it makes it hard to guesstimate as they are as long as the regular pews, and I'm trying to picture them folded in and the altar moved back to accommodate them. I'd guess a good 1/4 of the seating is gone at least. I can't remember how far back the pews went to the back door, but I know that we lost about 6 rows on either side going back.

Since I'll be there tomorrow - Sunday - I'll try to see if anyone knows the "capacity" change after the interior was altered.

Sorry, I had to add the extra exclamation marks to get the 10 character limit but since I wrote this now I guess it was mute

Z, nope, name does not sound familiar. In an earlier post, someone mentioned Scott Bondy and Bob Kocis. I did know them. Scott used to play hockey with my brother and I was dragged along to many of his games. I'm pretty sure they hated me coming along as much as I hated going. It wasn't till I was all growed up that I started to appreciate hockey...
Bob Kocis was in my class at St Jude, he was the only boy who asked me to dance at our 8th grade graduation party. I'm pretty sure it was a slow dance cuz I think I'd remember if we did the Funky Chicken or the Mashed Potato!!

I think J is closest with her estimate of 1/2 gone. In addition to the numerous pews lost at the front and back, all the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph pews were also removed.

**7andkelly** · April-08-09, 08:44 PM

Glad you made it to the funeral, Cfg.

**7andkelly** · April-08-09, 09:00 PM

BTW, before I forget, and before we all get busy, I just want to wish all you all a happy and blessed Easter.

We're still talking computers, right?

Ross Music is right.

When right clicking the IE logo on the desktop and I click the "NoAddons" window it opens but will not load any websites. What's going on? Can I disable the blocker somehow? Regenerate the toolbar settings? Where?
Thanks for the help in advance.

I've downloaded IE8 two times. First time, all it did was make my computer slow, real slow, and this is a new computer. I went to Add/Remove programs and took it out.

A couple weeks later I tried to download it again. Toolbars changed, other things changed, and my new computer, was once again, very very slow.

IE8 is still in it's infancy. It's not the finished product. I uninstalled it again. My computer is back to normal, and I don't plan on IE8 for quite a while.

What were your memories of Good Friday at St. Jude? I recall the stations of the Cross, keeping silent between12noon and 3PM [[except at church), the over crowded church, waiting just to get a seat behind one of the marble pillars.

Do you think Tom Monaghan would have allowed a Tiger Opening Day on Good Friday at 1PM?

I remember going for stations, and then going home and sitting on the porch until Holy Hours were over.
The biggest thing that I remember about Good Friday, though, is that it seemed to ALWAYS rain between 12 and 3, even if just a few drops. Does anyone else remember this, or is it just me?
