Hi kids, Just to update you all, I've just tried sending an e-mail to Valery, the French fellow who sent me an e-mail from my pen-pal website. This is the third message I've tried to send him, but each time it gets sent back. I know e-mail overseas tends to be a bit slow because they often have poor... Sign in to see full entry.

Here in Maine, we have a saying that if you don't like the weather wait five minutes! This saying couldn't better demonstrate the weather outside than today.

Good afternoon gang, How are you all doing today?

I don't know what got me thinking about this, but I've been suddenly reminded of something I read in a newspaper well over a year ago. Thinking about it even now makes me angrier and sadder than I can say. Something Offbeat Pub wrote in a comment the other day also reminded me of how lucky we are... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello everyone, Or should I say Salut? How are you all this afternoon? I've just e-mailed my friend in Holland and just now I e-mailed Helga again. I'm sitting here trying to picture the Ukraine.
