What a treat it was to find your warm "welcome back" message awaiting me when I returned from our "Parkies-on-the-Town" holiday dinner party this evening, Clare. I keep telling myself to just do a "blanket deletion," and consign the 1164 emails that still are unread to the void of Cyberspace. Somehow tho, I just can't do that, and I'm glad I didn't as your message would have been missed then (ain't gonna say I won't by tomorrow or the next day, 'cause that pile of messages seems to be growing - kinda like hangers in the closet do when one's asleep at nite) <grin>. As fer someone finding my attractive-but-meager wardrobe to while looking for "new" clothing at the Goodwill Thrift Shop, well I wish them luck, and hope they don't come after me complaining about the buttons being attached with Crazy Glue and colors touched up with felt tip pens (Ok, so I'm a "Mickey-Mouser, but it USUALLY works fine) <usually....> (most of the time) <giggle> Speaking of "mice," I saw the new movie, "Stuart Little" a coupla days ago and was totally enchanted. The movie featured the ever talented Michael J. Fox, and fellow Parkie, as the voice of intrepid, whimsical "mouse-for-all-seasons." Well, m'dear, I can't sit in front of this infernal-but-much-missed 'puter when it was inaccessible to me for over a month (darn critter was in the very last box to be unpacked!)
