Write your reply.

assistant: She does, does she? I wouldn't wanna argue with that then!
 What kind of music does she listen to while taking a bubble bath?
 I didn't say that! Somebody else did! <VBG>
 But I have to agree! <G>
 Only in most things....what things are you not easy to please in?
 What if your new girlfriend listened to Michael Jackson?
 Sure why not! :-)
 That's me! Eloquent Stewy!
 Billie Myers is really quite good! Like that tune "Kiss the Rain"!
 My oldest son likes Metallica; especially "Enter Sandman"!
 So did you get it out?
 Ho, ho, ho! As in Santa Claus! :->
 OK...Lesley Garrett, Bryan Ferry, Neil Finn, Red Hot R t B, Cliff Richard!
 Know any of them; all of them? <G>
 No eh? Maybe someday though! When you get kids of your own!
 Well, who is complimentary about the Spice Girls?
 Nope! It hasn't done it for a couple days now; guess it decided to listen
 to me when I said if it did it again; I'd give the old heave ho!
 Actually found a lost cluster; which I told computer to repair!
 And it said something about a work pkt being invalid.
 So who knows!
 Very good album!
 Have you had a chance to hear his debut solo album? I haven't had the
 chance to pick it up yet? Any good?
 TTYL...Stewy
