I'll be away from home and access to the internet will be spotty, at best. I'll check in from time to time over the next 6 months. Everyone behave yourself. {hugs}

For six months?? Where on Earth are you going??

Have you looked into visiting hours? Most places have visiting hours. And a library, where you might be able to sign out a computer in a kiosk for an hour.

Let me be the first to congratulate you for finding a place that doesn't have internet access. Best wishes.

She got a tip on a secret treasure and she ain't sharin. You know where the Ark of the Covanant is don't you? :biggrin: Wear your sun glasses when opening it up.
 
And Facebook too?...

Was checking out our mutual friends. Are you aware that we both have excellent taste in friends?

hmmm...

That's sounds a bit strange. Like Lecter's "I'm having an old friend for dinner."

anyways... Have fun :smile:, come back soon, :!), and don't eat anyone I wouldn't! :biggrin:

I think of you once a year, when I go snorkeling.
I also think of you every day, when I get in my truck. I don't think I'd have bought it if it weren't for you. I love my truck. :smile:

hmmm...

My immediate family, my PF family, and my FB family, all had kids in the last few days.

I wanted to tell my South African FB friend that "she changed me", was kinda weird, as he should be changing her... :-p
