assistant: Hi Beverly...so glad to hear from you.  I try to get in touch with everyone
and I promise to check the FIDO at least twice a week.  So far so good.
(grin)
Well, wonder no more.  I'm back and I'm going to stay here unless the sysop
does something and I can't get back on.  That was part of the problem and I
just got frustrated with the whole thing and said "enough."  Yeah, I know
what you mean about not remembering what day it is.  Thank goodness for the
undies that have the day of the week stitched on them.  'Cept I keep
getting mine mixed up and I'm wearing Friday's right now.  Hahahhaa!!!
Just kidding...don't have those kinds of panties.  (big grin 8-D)
Yes, Vi is in the SF Bay area.  I think she's still in Yuma though--for
now.  I haven't heard from her in over a month so don't know where they are
now.  Excuse me a minute...PAGING VI TODD...VI TODD, PLEASE PICK UP THE
WHITE COURTESY PHONE PLEASE!!!  Well, we'll see if that works.  (LOL)
I'll have to check out your web page and tell you what I think.  My web
page isn't colorful or have pictures.  Its just the facts, ma'am.  So
that's what happened.  Changed IP's and didn't tell anyone.  Well, now I
have your website addy and I'll look you up and leave you words there, ok?
Are you guys alright?  I've been watching the weather and I've noticed that
the southeast is starting to swim with all the rain that you've been pelted
with.  We had a winter storm come through here and drop over a half inch of
rain on Tucson and over 2 ft. of snow up in the mountains.  It was cold but
now its back to about 72 degrees.  I've got to get some gardening done this
afternoon.
As I mentioned...I will be here for as long as our sysop stays up on
things.
Take care.  Good to hear from you and find out that you're still around and
still on the computer.  What's going on with Linda besides a new male
friend???
