Aloha Dame Margaret,

When I saw that info on the website of totally useless facts I thought that it was a load of blarney. I for one have no interest in traveling to Liverpool to see such a spectacle even if it was true. I find it degrading, demeaning, and despicable.

Cheerio,

I found a sweater vest in a L.L.Bean catalog for almost thirty bucks similar
to the one in this picture. So instead of paying thirty dollars and up for
a little ole sweater vest I'm making mine and putting my own design in it.
That's way too much for a sweater without sleeves just because of a
famous name brand. You will get a picture of it when I get through with
my sweater vest. Flashy!

You don't know how glad I am to get back on to this forum. Firefox is
having a problem and so is safari with it. You can get some great videos
on firefox but when it comes down to finding Magle internatioal music
and AOL;sometimes I have to give up. Internet Explorer is another joke.
I can't get it to play you tube videos saying that I need "flash" when I
know better.
