I've been changing my locale on a regular basis since yeterday. I moved to Albania for a few hours, then Bolivia, now Latvia. I am hiding from the Internet Boogy Man. IBM for short.

You might want to stick to English speaking countries...the UK, Ireland, Australia, even India and Singapore for the most part.

I would think IBM might have a harder time in foreign-lingo question, but I am new to the subject, so who knows?

xshub invited me to dinner just the two of us tomorrow.

What?? He couldn't get you a date with Sean or Rummy or the V.P. for your birthday? Some husband! I hope he at least takes you somewhere better than Hot Dogs 'R' Us.

Have a great birthday anyhow!

Don't feel bad you didn't get your usual insults today, Miss Whyisa. None of the usual myriad of juicy opportunities came up today...

That's if you can't hold your potations...

Thanks for the compliment!

He is hiding because the only one who should be receiving his personal info is the pastor at his church. If that's too confusing try asking someone with a screen name of something vet some details about their service. The Kobe threads. They draw you in and make you crawl out, using your fingernails.
Does that sum it up Flurry?

Looks like the virtually unanimous answer to the obvious question is....... SATAN!

Although I suspect that even the Prince of Darkness himself would deny such a heinous copulation!
