Old Times, New ideas
I've been a member of this outfit for a lot of years and been through a lot of experiences, besides going through Win98 to XP, the origianal attraction to Beta ONE.

I just changed my avatar, in keeping with my new spirit. This is my nearly 8 year old granddaughter who lives in Sicily on the slopes of Mt. Etna.

My wife of 45 years continues to smile and enjoy her life in a long term care facility. I take her for walks every day and she appears to find joy in this activity. She still knows who I am and remembers names and faces. Totally amazing for a girl who can no longer speak, nor communicate what she is needs, or is thinking. Her only expression is a smile and a bear hug. In the end isn't this what life is all about? Simple expressions of love?

Thanks to the old timers who often sent me encourageing expressions of support.

Hmm. where is my avatar?

I notice that avatars are not showing up on my screen, unless I click on them. I need you guys to see my granddaughter. She's beautiful.

Yes, she sure is

The avatars seems to "hide" when using any other "skin" than the old style ones,
we will look into it ASAP.
