Hi Rus. Yes, do add K to your ping list. She may not be available during the day, because she takes care of a lot of folks (including me). I'd guess most of her time will be early mornings or evenings. Her son is headed for Iraq in Feb. I watched that kid grow up. We are naturally worried, but we are also very proud of him. We posted his picture here one time.

I'll see if I can find it Rus. Don't really recall which thread it was on. Maybe K knows about when it was so I can pinpoint it by date.

Hi Aqua. It was my fault that she hadn't registered. I was showing her how to post graphics one day and somehow she got the idea that she had to know all that HTML just to post. Shows what a great teacher I am. Ha.

Glad you came aboard, need to see if she'll show you how to post pictures and play music now. :)

Yes, Now that you have woke everyone up. I'm going to call it a night. Back on daughters school schedule tomorrow. Good night all.
To: Aquamarine
Oh never fear, she'll be up to speed real quick. She's a quick study. She will pass me in a week and leave me in her dust.

Hi, K, hope you don't mind my posting on yesterday's thread, but I wanted to say it's nice to see you signed up and posting! Hope we can have another of our WV/OH get-togethers soon.
