My shopping cart is empty after I added an item. Why?

The problem could be that you are using Internet Explorer 6 or above and your cookie settings are not configured to accept cookies from thelivingjarboe.com when using the site swans.pair.com.. Unfortunately this is the default setting for newer versions of Internet Explorer and it "breaks" our shopping cart.

2. Select the "Privacy" tab by clicking on it at the top of the Internet Options window.

3. Click on the "Edit" button, which should open the "Per Site Privacy Actions" dialog box.

4. Enter "thelivingjarboe.com" and "swans.pair.com" as domains that you will ALLOW to send cookies to your computer.

I can't see some of the material / pages on the site. What's wrong?

How do you pronounce "GIRA" and where does it come from ?

The way MG prefers it is " jee-ra ". It is in fact an eastern European name, and Bohemian in origin.

And "JARBOE" ?

It is pronounced " jah-bow ", with an emphasis upon the second syllable. And if you guessed that is French, you are most certainly correct: French-Creole.
