Hi Pillowcase! Glad to see you!

JEllen

Hey Ellen! hows your new social "gaddabout" status treating you? well I trust!

(Don't worr about us..we'll get along without you
....sniff.....sniff )

Hello there Madhamish!

No, I haven't forgotten about you or any of my hootoo friends. (I see Abbi had her one year anniversary ) But yes, I have been gadflying about, very much the social butterfly. Hehe, yay! I went to a church barbeque last week (Memphians make good barbeque) and to a creative arts group this past Sunday. I saw some artwork there that was really impressive. Makes me want to paint more, and get back into photography. And I read a cool book last week - The Davinci Code. A thriller filled with religious and art symbolism.

JEllen

That's a co-inkydink! I'm reading a book on Da Vinci himself! go Figure. it contains copies of many of his "Inventions" and musings. Amazing fella!

MH
(You go get that real world Ellen!)

Hi Hamish! You don't have AIM instant messaging, or anything compatible, do you? If you do you could IM me.

Yah, Davinci was an amazing fellow. Does your book show any of his backwards writing? That's one way to keep the snoops out, eh?

JEllen

Hi JEllen, I have heard of that book, it sounds good! I'll look for it in my bookshop, I am hoping to get there this afternoon, they also do the best chai!

Hello Ellen! I'm happy to hear you're still into art, books and so on. Over here in South Africa there seems to be a drought of good movies right now ... I'm eagerly waiting for the third and last Lord of the Rings at the mo.

Ellen: I have access to MSN Messenger if that helps at all???????

In answer to your Da Vinci question, yes it has most of his known works in some way or another including the "writing"

MH
(I don't know how to get AIM, can I in Oz? Do you know off hand?)

Hi Pillowcase. Yes, I can't wait till Return of the King too! It's gonna be great!

Hamish, I'm afraid I don't have MSN. I don't know how to get AIM, I just have AOL automatically since I use them. It's great for talking to Abbi and PCandy, but not so great for my international friends.

JEllen

Aol offers AIM Jellen - or they did a while back

If you have windows on your PC search for Windows Messenger.
It is virtually the same as MSN. It will pop up in a MSN like window and can talk to anyone MSN talks to.
It's automatically installed. No download needed!

Oh wow - I talk to PCandy on the msn one, I did not realise she has aol too.

Hmmmmm...? Mad Hamish has his R&D department working feverishly on obtaining AIM or something such as this!!!!!

MH
(R&D is actually two spotty teengagers who work for me after school! Even "WD" needs a next generation!)

I'm not trying any new message systems - I have a horror of messing up my computer. Technologically, I am not brave.

JEllen

Yeah fair enough! I can get AIM in a week or so, so stay tuned anyhoo!

MH
(I'm sure the blue screen of death was made just for me!)
