Hi! This is going out to Jeanette.

I've been following the interesting line of comments about you coming out to Canada
in this news group. Now you are recieving invitations to be hosted/toured. I'd
like to allow my self in the same. I don't have a car but I would be willing to
meet you at the airport/bus station/ferry terminal to help you get around. 
You are more than welcometo stay at my place or I could just escort you to 
a hostel/hotel/b&b, etc.

By the way, I'm in Victoria, BC. I've also done some of traveling (backpacking it)
around Canada and camping locally as well.

If you have any questions e-mail me at jmantsin@sirius.uvic.ca (or try the address
in the header. I've never tried it before but one or the other *should* work).

Have fun in Canada!

Johanna

PS. This can go to anyone else planning on coming to Canada. If you plan on passing
through Victoria, e-mail me and I'll see what I can do for you.

Anyway....
I'm looking to amass the largest radio station bumper sticker collection in the world (wishful thinking), and all of you can help me in this endeavor.

If you'd like to contribute, just bop on down to you local radio station(s) and snag 3 (yes, three) of their bumper or window/static stickers. Toss 'em in an envelope and snail-mail them off to me.

As the collection develops, I'll keep a running tab on numbers, and maybe post some of the more unique call letters.

Thanks to all!

goes.  I am not a big fan of e-mail writing.  Though it is obviously useful,

hiya group,

came across this newsgroup accidently and realized that this could be 
the opportunity which i had been waiting for : getting a penpal.

i am male, 26 and a part time student right now. hope to start full time
work by next year.

me : like to travel, read, watch movies, TV, most kinds of music, being 
     with nature. i also like to play (harmless) tricks on friends and 
     engage in humorous arguments with females (gives me a kick :))
     i play tennis, pool, chess and badminton.
     and i dream to tour canada, europe and discover the _real_
     countryside. unfortunately, i could never get around to learning a 
     language other than english (of course). but that does not inhibit me
     from seeking penpals from europe too ! i would love to have a penpal
     from either denmark, france, italy, uk, spain, portugal, greece or 
     ireland. penpals from other countries are equally welcome.

finally, one peice of honesty : i would prefer a female but again males
would be ok too.

so ? anyone game ?

Well, it does follow a semstrict format.  I was hoping to churn out a program
that would be passed along with the Address Book to be used as an querying
utility so that people can find similar interests, age groups, locations, etc.
I have a *rough* one working but it's not much better than just letting people
sort through it manually.  Just keeping the Address Book updated is taking up
a lot of my spare time, so I haven't gotten very far on the querying util.
If you want to do something like that, by all means help yourself.  As far as
I know, no-one else is working on such a thing.  Email me with any comments or
suggestions and lets see what we can come up with.

Hello.

What I'd like:
To correspond with people in Poland, Sweden, or Russia.  My Polish is very
limited, and Swedish is less.  But I am interested in the culture,
and expanding my language skills.  And I would also like to correspond
mainly in snail mail.

Me: 28 year old woman at the University of Washington- studying English,
    and I will be going to Grad School soon in English Literature.  I love
    poetry, arts of various kinds (ceramics, glass, and a few 'flat' things),
    I am a bit on the liberal side (cautious, not phobic).  I am not looking
    for romance, I would like to correspond with women just as much as men.
    Also, I like to cook, go camping when it is not raining too hard, tear
    apart films in that English-major-way, and get into trouble.  Things that
    draw my attention are those that surprise my senses. I like other things,
    but I suppose that I should stop.

    odd pet peeves:  I really hate computer shorthand (oic, r u, tnx, &c...)
    I guess I am a bit of a purist in that way.  Yes, I am fussy about my 
    coffee and beer too.  oh well.

If any of this sounds interesting - and you are in Poland,Russia, or Sweden;
drop me a note.  I write to quite a few people already, so I am not always
able to reply immediately (say within the hour).

work so much more enjoyable if I could look forward to a few emails at the
beginning of the day!

Bye bye
Kirsty
