assistant: Hello Chuck,
 Thanx!  Happy New Year to you too! :-)
 I enjoy bbsing!
 When BW barf's on me it tends to make me not enjoy it!
 Nobody could ever fool you could they? <G>
 ...
 Nearly always eh?  At least while listening to music!<G>
 I agree! Many songs do that for me!
 Aerosmith always takes us back to a time when we were young!
 I see!
 I like John Lennon! Does that count? <G>
.......
 E-mail eh?
 Nope, and I ain't gonna either! <G>
 Oh? You're a moderaptor? What kind of dinosaur is that again? <VBG>
 _Slippery When Wet_!
 I have more of their collections of music!
 Shouldn't give away secrets like that! <G>
 TTYL....Kim(aka Stewy)
