I hain't been here in quite some time but I don't remember spending
most of my last visit hitting Alt-F4. What IS the deal?
Oh yeah, anybody seen WER? He left a message on my machine about Central
market having fresh hams, but he didn't leave a number or nuthin'. Putz.

alt f4? Whazzat? I haven't seen WER around here, but I keep in touch via phone from time to time. He lurks, I believe. Call me if you need a number, email me his current email address if you will.

I'm glad someone is keeping in touch with William. It simply isn't the same without him.

Wolfie "we" found it a few years back when "we" redid the Tv conference and went out hunting for something wild for this one. I found the one from before which was so irritating we had to embolden our type to read our posts. I sent up begging flares while the master programmer and prettifier of conferences was about and he used this one we had also found. *sigh* It seems like ages ago!
Our browser advertizers are getting irritatingly clever. They make those cam ads in boxes so large it fools the popup box programs I am running. *cah-ching* may I add mine to yours?!

She was a rich elderly lady's lap dog and she got to be too much to take care of. It was love at first sight for the House Male - and Mindy had had already been named. She's so happy here. I am delighted, and I don't LIKE dogs!!! Or thought I didn't. Mindy came complete with food (but she prefers the cat's food), shampoo and all sorts of bells and whistles. I'm locking up my jewelry!
Btw, I sent JK an email and suggested he read your post about the puppy mills, and how to respond to it. I hope he will.

We are guessing less than 2 years old. I'll check with her master to see exactly! She has HIM vacuuming the house because of my allergies. Talk about silver linings!
This little dog definitely qualifies for pop-up status! How to you keep teeny dogs from trying to climb your leg? (Back to SpringArk!)

If anyone still has trouble with popups install either Zone Alarm or sygate - both are free and both work equally well.
