[Mrs.Nooseman]

I am so glad to hear this.

Tell her that I am thinking about her often and I wish she would sign up for FR and join us at the Canteen.

I would love to chat with her and all of your other friends that were there for her.

Now I don't want to be nosy,but you have made me curious.

What is the event?

[laurenmarlowe]

Arm and aim are great, LOL!

I had a fantastic day, learned so much, and had an awesome instructor. And hopefully, many more to come.

We are gonna have a great time next Spring!

Barely! It only counts if you give me the biggest share! LOL! After all, the rule is if you divide it, I get first pick, right? Hee-hee!

You're the greatest, Mojo! That is one rockin' tune! I think I'll e-mail it to David....if I have permission.

[GodBlessUSA]

These computer graphics and tricks are funny. One night Brad's gramma taught me that if you use font color = white text doesn't show up, unless you put your mouse over the text and highlight it. Like here: and for the rest of the night I was posting to her like that. LOL! silly.
