it's printing in reverse now, Terry... have to get Kaylene to write the one to let you choose a number in a response box... you'd have to fix the "future" dates in order for the last month, etcetera calls to work...

That rocks! Kaylene has a routine already that can be run to fix future dates. Call me this weekend and I'll get you set up on access. Awesome!!!

ok, where can i try this kona stuff? do they sell it on the mainland? (ok, here in the bayous or anywhere close?)

You can buy it at any gourmet-style coffee place. It's VERY expensive (because those mules have to schlepp it down mountains with 20,000 foot altitude), so look for the little sample packages that only makes a couple pots.

But if you fly to Hawaii, it's cheap, cheap, cheap! While you're there would ya pick up some macadamia nuts for me?!?

You've been to Hawaii lately?!

unfortunately never.

Same here. Anybody been to Hawaii?

nope. one of my coworkers went in april. she said it was great!!

Never.

Nope, never been. Ah, to lay on the beach in Maui and live in a grass hut.

in a grass skirt?

eating grass?

eating poi (not as yummy as it sounds)

smoking grass.

ha-ha! You're starting to remind of AB FAB's Patsy!

What a compliment, sweetie, dahling!

OK....where's ree-head???? am getting worried about her....

did she have a holiday to go on?

That's what I'm thinking, she may be traveling.

When was her sister due to visit?

by george! I think he's got it!

I hope it's curable...

Actually, I believe it's degenerative.

i thought she was already there (when riette created a topic for her)....hmmmmm

give her a call if you like: (international access stuff) 041 382 1064

Sonja here: I arrived on Tuesday morning. I wanted to come on earlier, but we had alot of catching up to do. Travelling only consists of day trips this time, I'm afraid - she has too much work. She created a topic about me??? I dread to discover the contents!! I let her out of my sight for a year, and she just goes wild - I don't know!

guess that means you'll have to keep coming back to check on her when you get back to the states, huh?

See, Sonja, we already know what a *wild and crazy* gal you are!

Hi, guys. I'm back too. I almost feel like I should ask for permission to come back, though - I feel so bad about having just taken off like that and stuff. I am truly sorry.

does this mean that you need another spanking, Mistress?

Man, that's what I call a WARM welcome! I should dissappear more often!

Is this treatment not for first-timers then?

Sure, first timers get equal treatment.

Yep, so grab your ankles...

LOL! I was thinking we could do it the other way around, perhaps?

So you want special treatment? OK, in your case, you can have it.

Thank you, sir. Grab your ankles now!

(Must warn you though, Terry. The girl's got killer biceps....so be careful with that special treatment!)

Hey, that's my special treatment, and mine only! Only I do the ordering! Back off, girl!

Should've never let you on here.

Too late now, isn't it?

It's going to be ok, Ree!

Yes, it's going to be okay, Ree!

She's back! Does this mean the Bronte conference is alive again? Item 63 entered Sun, Oct 18, 1998 (17:07) by Amy Wolf (amy2) I'm baaaccckk... Hi fellow Bronte fans -- it's me, Amy, your hostess, returned after many months of being away. Truth to tell, I couldn't find this Board until Mick kindly gave me the new URL. I think part of the confusion was that I had changed my e-mail address. So please check in & let me know you're still there! I hope we can continue your excellent discussions on the Bronte's lives & works. 1 new of 1 response total. Long live the Bronte sisters!!!

Hee haw!!! LONG LIVE THE BRONTES!!!!!

Topic 63 of 63: 'I'm baaaccckk...' Resp 2 of 2: Mick Armitage (Mick1) Mon, Oct 19, 1998 (06:25) 1 lines Hi Amy, - Nice to see something stirring on this conference once again: when I re-discovered it, at its new URL, it was looking like a long-deserted ghost town! Now all we need is everybody else . . . Now, he's back. I hope Amy does a mail to the bronte ulist (list of folks who've visited the Bronte Sisters Conference with their emails, available to every host).

and so we come and go...and come again...

It seems this topic has gone missing for a while. I live in Hawaii - on the Island where the Kona Coffee grows, actually. Why do I come here...to maintain my sanity. On a serious note, I do not think you realize how important a link to like-minded, caring people this is (with a few malefactors thrown in for good measure.) You have saved more than one desperate person that I know of from dire consequences just by allowing this forum. Thank you...or as we say here, Mahalo Nui Loa.

I know there is an upside to living in Hawaii, where we get the day after the entire world is done with it. On New Year's Eve, as the Y2K approaches, each time zone will clear more space on the Internet for the Hawaii users as those non-Y2K computers' Bios go belly-up one after another. Of course, by the time midnight arrives here, there will be no one left to talk to. I exaggerate, but there is little to recommend posting to a world that is asleep. If I get any feedback, it will be when I am asleep!! Stock brokers here keep very odd hours, indeed. They must rise with the opening bell, no matter if it is 2 AM here!

I'm awake...although not for much longer...when you get up, have a nice cup of coffee for me, okay?

Consider it done. Shall that be straight black or one of those wonderfully aromatic but sometimes distasteful blends with vanilla, brazil nuts, etc added in? I prefer those flavors in my desert and my coffee just the way God made it.

...and a nice big serving of that Jellyfish salad...! What do you suggest I serve with it?! (Do not tell me a stomach pump!)

black is fine... If I was forced to serve the jellyfish salad, I think I'd follow it with some plain grilled shrimp and/or pork or chicken satay and some saffron fried rice with scallions and sunflower seeds and maybe some gingered carrots or green beans...

...sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds?! You are more than just a great techie...you are a poet with the second most sensuous thing in the world. In case you wondered about the *most* sensuous...I have been reading your postings on the Sex boards. Ummmmm...poetic there, too (*benevolently dreamy smile*)

I appreciate the compliments and you are more than welcome to post along with us "(sex)crazy(ied)" folks in the other conferences...

Thank you...I just may. But, in the meanwhile, I am going back to 72 and looking into the corners for you...(smiling sweetly)

I'll be waiting...
