Well ya know if there is a Nuns I'll find it.. Of course it took four disky thingy Gawds to get me here...
Outside of using the net for info on roses (bookmarked so I can find it) this thingy is very strange, does it word rap on it's own or do I have to hit return? Oh, but this is a new world for me.
Smoooch to everyone! Rail & his beautiful partner in crime, Homer how is the cold and wet? And everyone who I know who you are, but you changed who you are, so I'm not sure, well not really..
This thing doesn't scroll by it's self? What are the programs getting stoopid or is it..well let's not go there..
I'm soooo confused!!!

Well the BEST thing about this WebNun software is that I can actually, legitimately get away with blaming a lot of stuff on *YOUR* browser! Like, for example, when you type a long line into a TextArea, Netscape adds a horizontal scroll bar and just keeps on going, never *visually* word-wrapping. Pretty annoying.
Internet Explorer does a visual word-wrap, and ya never get that nasty horizontal scroll bar.
But neither one makes any difference one way or another in how the reader eventually sees what ya typed.

Railman... how is beautiful Atlanta, home of the newest Olympic event...explosive competition!
I had the opportunity to fly to Atlanta for a training program just as they were getting ready for the Olympics. We were not far from a military base and watched as all the big planes (the one's bringing the President there) came in for a landing. We were close to a river. It was a beautiful place...rolling hills, blue skies..ect.. I loved it. I can understand why you would give up this place! We had dinner some place right on the river, a seafood place I believe.. It was wonderful!
Of course being afraid of flying the Doc gave me something to calm my fears...according to my manager I was the planes entertainment...of this I'm not sure, but I did receive two sets of wings from the flight attendant and people as they exited the plane smiled and patted me on the shoulder...
Hmmmm.... I wonder what that means....?

If you get a few million free frequent flier miles, it means the captain has a crush on you.
Hiya Tess!
Atlanta's a nice enough place. It used to be called "the city built in a forest", because of all the lush greenery. While there's still a lot of green, much of it has been mowed down in the name of progress. The hills are nice too -- Houston's terrain is pretty flat, all told.
Oh, and there are real seasons here! The leaves all turn wonderful colors in the fall and spring is really spring-like. Right now it's about 50 degrees outside, but two weeks ago there was snow on the ground. Okay, so they're SCHIZO seasons, but still... Houston was either numbingly cold or untolerably hot.

Yeah, I was in Atlanta for the winter of '95, and was there for a pretty hefty snowfall. It was waycool, because, apparently it doesn't snow often enough for people to know how to deal with it, so most businesses shut down. Mini vacation!
The parking lot for my apartment building was separated from the road by a hill, which, when iced over like it was, pretty much kept all my building's residents off the roads. So I hadda *walk* two miles through the snow, uphill both ways, to get to my favorite bars.

People say it's dangerous to drive in Atlanta when it snows because of all the idiots.
Naaaah.
Just wait a few hours after the first snowfall, and all the idiots have put their cars in the ditch. After the first day, the only ones driving are the ones who CAN.
Natural selection!

Last time we had ice on the roads I stayed home and played!
There were 247 accidents that day...
But what I like is when we have one of those flash floods and someone insist the water is not that high in the underpass..
Once the rain stops it drains off in 20 minutes or so...
I always have to wonder what was so important someone couldn't be a little late for, and is now very late for...

We had snow here in seattle the other day. Woke up and the world was white. Very happy and nifty and swell... So I decided to walk up to 15th to get some groceries and take in the sights. People were all happy and saying, 'neeto! snow!' and stuff.
Now its just raining, and I *need* to go to the grocery store. O well...

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?
Where do I insert my America Online cd?
This is damn near surreal. Everyone on the World Wide Web? *collective gasp of disbelief* Of course, the good news is that you'll never get another busy signal at your favorite BBS, eh?

Ah yes, the age old question..."Where do I insert my America Online CD?"...make a list of enemies, and start from there. They also make for some really groovy tunes at parties..
As for congregating on the web...I know...it's like admitting you like Power Rangers...right?
...oh.

But I'll bet the hair in your toes was trendy hair, neatly cut like Jennifer Aniston's.
After my aforementioned trip to Radio Shaft, I went next door to Sally's Beauty Salon, and purchased some gold streaking to put in my currently red hair (we have a concert tour coming up, and I don't wanna look like someone's mama). THAT would make the Friends' crowd head spin.

What would be cool is if she used those scissors that make different shapes with the cuts..
You know, like zig zag or bumpy or something..

She expressed embarrassment, which is something Kathy Lee Gifford would never do, therefore it *has* to be the one from the comic strip.
