My very good friend, Chubbyalaskgriz, told me about this forum, and since chubby has great taste ~ pun intended ~ I decided to come to visit him, and since he likes it here, I'm sure I will too

:D:D

Howdy Dianne!

And welcome! This is a fine place full of great folks... we come from all regions and all walks of life! I'm glad you're here- c'mon in and pulluppa chair- grab yourself a cuppa coffee, or a tall glass of iced tea and have fun! smiles & winks- kevin

Okay, I have homework to do >yuk< but I have a moment for you Kev, can you believe it ~ I am only 4 days short of being 2 years exactly older than you~ Virgo's rock.

I have a new puppy now, his name is Snoopy and he is a handful, my other 2 dogs love him but he sure is a huge pain. I wish I could show you a video of him, you would laugh yourself sick.

How are you? Your family? Are you in Illinois or Alaska? What do you really really think of Sarah Palin, I like her. How is Arturo? do you still talk to him? It's really wonderful to talk to you, we now just need scojo48 to join and Mapiva and Sidedish101 and all would be good, though being here, I am still navigating so.... It' fun, real nice set up and I like the forum lay out.

Your puppy is beautiful, Dianne!

Like all cyber-places, this one being new to you, the forum lay-out and all the inner-workings will take a bit of time to manuever around in, Dianne- but all in all, I hope you'll find it a pretty quick process. The folks here are wonderfully warm and we're a small, close group, so I predict you'll grow to really appreciate the genuine, friendly, civil tone here- much different than "that other forum" where you and I first met long ago- Ha! I am SO glad you're here- WELCOME! smiles- k.

P.S. Art is fine- we talk on the phone every couple of weeks- and I saw him at a funeral a couple weeks ago... I miss the dickens outta him. Thanks for asking.

Thanks Kev, I believe I will, if you are looking at a picture, it's Libby, I don't have Snoopys uploaded yet ~ picture this he has weird ears and they aren't long but they flop and it looks like a cow-lick, or better yet, picture a messy little boy hair do, that is Snoopy and he is Mr. Personality, he doesn't whine he growls ~ just little grrr's when he wants your attention or if something is interesting him or when he is happy just grrr's and he yawns like Snoopy on Peanuts, we laugh about that ~ he's got that yawn down pat and his full name is Snoopy Red-Baron, he is a charm. I'll come back on tomorrow and hopefully if you are here we'll talk some more~ I have to do Criminal Law right now and I know I'll be up half the night. Thanks for sending me here, and always your friend, dianne
