ALERT ALERT! ! ... STRANGER ENTERING ARC... ALERT ALERT!!

Hopefully I won't be a stranger for long (or strange) because after at least
a couple of months lurking around ARC I thought it was only fair to all con-
cerned that I announce my presence. I mean, it really isn't fair that I'm
learning about all you guys but you all don't even know I exist (come to think
of it- do I exist?).

It's gonna be a short post but I'm a little hungover. Hello to everybody (I
can't believe I've finally got the courage to post this) and *HUGS* all over
the place (-if we've got E-MAIL, does that mean I just sent E-HUGS?).

A special hello to Clare, since as far as I can see, you are the only *other*
kiwi in ARC (unless there are some lurking- come out come out where ever you
are) and you are just up the road, so to speak. We could maybe start up an
Auckland-chat! And now you've told us what you look like, I can keep an eye
out amongst the million people when I'm up there this weekend...

And hello to Lisa, WOW! can I have some of that dust????

*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs*

completely stuffed....

Hey rip...try 25 minutes to Quantico, Being that you are an ex-marine,
Have you ever been to Harbor Inn?  I talked to a few friends of mine
who have been there and they say its great, but I'm still debating.
Have you ever been in Manassas?  It's adventure out there too if
you know where to go.  Anyway, what makes you think I'm the kind
of person that would stand in a corner and ask if they were going
my way....the guys beg to go mine!       

I understand that you and Blade are friendly types...please have
a word with him, he tried to run me down in the parking lot this
morning.  He laughed as he was telling me to dance.  We went to lunch
one day on his bike (I was previously warned) ....loved it. He's a
great guy.  

So being that I am so close, let me know what else goes on around
there OKAY!  Thanks much.

Unfortunately...about half of my posting got cut off, and I can't
find it in my logs anywhere.  Oh well.  I actually got very
serious for a moment (I mean, as opposed to facetious).

Anyway, my answer is....:

equipment?  Do you have a Gateway486/50 with 8 MB RAM, a 200MB Hard
Disk (no innuendos, please), a Hercules graphics card (for
WordPerfect characters, of course), and some sort of decent HP
laser printer with a bunch of loadable PostScript fonts?  I don't
even need OS/2...I'll settle for DOS 5.

Equipment?  Do you have a decent kitchen?  I love to cook.  Of
course, I'll need copper/aluminum pots, nothing less than
RevereWare (though better would be nice), a decent set of knives,
wooden utensils (well-seasoned of course), and an electric stove
(and YOU have to do the dishes when I'm done).

Um...what about an UNO deck?  I'd LOVE to play Uno.

Meet her?  Um well... How do I say this tactfully (especially in

If she sees this remark she'll kill me, but I didn't go to the
boink because I was saving my money for Michelle's first visit.
She was *really* pouting about it, too.  --didn't talk to me for
quite a while.  Left me with a lecture about being unable to
cope with mature women.

I'm sorry to announce that, due to lack of interest, the MaineChat is
being cancelled.  

I hope that, with more interest and time, we can get together for a
Chat in Maine in 1993 some time.

I also want to thank all those who sent me messages regarding my
pulling out of ARC.  This is just a temporary measure, I assure you.
All the email and hugs have been greatly appreciated.

Mary
