h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hola!

I'm not any sort of ACE, just a friendly person! It's a really friendly place around here, I hope you'll like it as much as I do!

Have you had any more thoughts on a nickname?

Hola, que pasa? That's about it for my Spanish (haven't done that since high school).

About picking a nickname--I have aways had trouble with that. Even picking a name for my e-mail accounts was hard. Do I pick something that goes with my life? Do I pick something whimsical? Do I pick somehing about where I live? There are just too many things out there to choose from. I am also tired of making decisions--but that is a cop out. I have thought about "Bluebonnet"--what do you think?
I'm getting ready to go to dinner--Mexican food-my favorite! I'll check back later.

My Spanish stops with Hola! LOL

It's a very nice nickname you have picked, very memorable!
Found any good forums yet?

Hey Zed,

Sounds like you are having fun/problems with your bike--right? I have always wondered what it would be like to ride, but I am still too chicken to try. I like my Camry just fine, although I would mind trying an Excursion. I used to have a large Ford van and then came the time I didn't need it any more.

Give me a clue as to where in the UK you are. I have visited Lnson and some of the surrounding area--a few years ago.

I own too many bikes, or at least more bikes than my time/income wossname ought to allow, but with the aid of Mr Haynes Big Book Of Utter Lies I'm making progress with making more of them ridable LOL

Do you have Haynes manuals in the States? Ah, I remember. Clymer I think is the equivalent. I love to ride, I think everyone should give it a go!

What sort of Camaro did you have? There was a craze for some of the older ones among my mates last year, but it seems to have died down. The cost of gas is so high over here they're not very practical

I live about 50 miles north on London. Which bits of the UK did you see? Whereabouts in Texas are you, Tx is quite a big state LOL. I've never been to the states, but I will make it.

Howdy ya'll--That is supposed to be Texan for hello, I prefer "Hi". I have a Toyota Camry. The closest thing to a sports car around here was a Vega. It got totaled in an accident, but that is another story. Be sure to check your outlook express. I wrote you there, too.

As for my trip to England, I stayed with friends in Beconcourt (Sp) I think it was about 45 min NW of London but I am not sure. We did go by car to Stonehenge and by coach to Bath and to Avignon. We also drove out to the pier at Brighton Beach. The little town se stayed in had an exhibit of a miniature English countryside. I loved the weather there. You could sleep with your window open and there were no screens on the windows. You can't do that here. Mosquitos will eat you alive.

As for me in Texas. I live about 30 mi. (I don't know the conversion) east of Dallas. We do not have any cattle or horses. Our city is called Garland. It is the 7th largest in the state. We are called a suburb of Dallas. If you were to fly into DFW to get to where I live you would actually go through 3 to 5 different cities depending on how you go.

Do you have MSN Instant Messenger? I tried to add you to mine and it said you needed a Passport. Did you sigh up yet?

Lady Bluebonnet

Never heard of Toyota thingie, but, *shrug* it's another mobile chicane to me

Sounds like you visited some of the pretty places in England. The only thing I remember about Bath is its murder to try and hitch-hike there LOL Miles are OK in the UK, its the continentals who use KM's. And me, cos some of my bikes have KM speedos, which is fun.

I dunno what the prob with IM might be, I get messages thru it OK. Do you want to mail me your IM addr, if you don't want it public?

Hi,
Clue me in--what's "IM" stand for?
Does it have anything to do with MSN (MSN mesenger service)? I can get on and chat with the kids or friends in other states instead of using the phone. I put in you hotmail address and it would not let me add you for some reason--something about you needing a passport to be able to log in. I will try again on one of my other hotmail accounts and see what happens.
You have the outlook exp address. You know, you are really a very helpful person. I am glad you are leading me around. Sometimes my son Chip does but he gets a little preturbed at me.
Thanks, Lady Bluebonnet

Sorry, I can talk greek (possibly without the 'r') sometimes. IM is Instant Message, the MSN thingie you were talking about. I like helping people, it's fun
