Lorem Ipsum

Lorem Ipsum. Lotte, from Australia, shared the website with my Elders list. She has been a wonderful source of information to all of us. She is a newly retired University Reference Librarian and knows everything in the world, I think.

Here is an example of it: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Integer nec odio nec risus scelerisque dignissim. Nam pulvinar est et nisl. Duis in tellus. Aenean cursus fermentum est. Sed leo nisl, elementum vel, scelerisque non, porta vitae, tellus. Nullam faucibus, lectus ac feugiat mollis, nisl magna ultrices wisi, sit amet gravida odio sapien nec erat. Etiam.Generated 1 paragraph, 55 words, 360 bytes of Lorem Ipsum

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

I knew I had seen it before. It is my MSOffice templates. I had always wondered why it was used and how dumb was I anyway? Now you have a nice little tidbit to share over pumpkin pie when the in-laws are getting too testy.

If you mouse click the Elders link, you will find a "Meet the Elders" section. There I am, with He Who Must Be Obeyed. We have been emailing as a group for eleven years.
