Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / July 2004Checking in after too long
Hey all I know, it's been a long time. Just been way too busy. Getting ready for this trip to Amsterdam, got my heart broken a couple of times, and am frantically trying to find someone willing to sell me a Bally's membership for under a couple of hundred (there's a few on eBay, but I just never win those last minute bidding crunches.) Had to quit walking at the mall before work. I was getting way to sweated up, and there's just so much cleaning up you can do in a small office bathroom. A little while ago, a couple of you volunteered to help me learn how to use this new Outlook Express. I need help. I admit it, I've become a real news group junkie. I'm subscribed to about 40 of them, and a few of the binary ones get well over 2000 posts a day. This, of course, means many, many hours of sitting here downloading these binaries one at a time, and since I use dial up, that means many, many, many MANY hours of sitting here. It would be so much better if I can just go through the headers, pick what I want, and get the machine working on downloading them all so I can actually go to bed and sleep at night. I've been trying to figure out how to do this off line, but the "help" file isn't very helpful. Could someone please email me and give me some "Push THIS button, dummy" instructions on how to do this? I sure would appreciate it. See y'all later Smokey Good to hear from you Smokey. I can't help with the tech. stuff, I have someone who does all this for me. I'm interested in your trip to Amsterdam though. It's a city I love - only about an hour's flight for us from London. Have you been before? Do tell:) janice >Hey all > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >work.

I'm going to see what I can do about talking the rest of my party into a side trip there. It doesn't seem to be too far by rail, and we'd all like to see this famous Chunnel of yours (personally, I'd rather go by hovercraft, but I'm only one vote.) One of the guys wants to check out Paris, but I've been there too. It was dirty and unfriendly then, I can't imagine it improving too much in the last 40 years. Good cheese, though. Finally got a match from Eharmony, now I just have to come up with the 50 bucks to proceed with the introduction process (sure SOUNDS like prostitution, doesn't it?) Just hope I don't get hurt by this one too. Laters Smokey >> Good to hear from you Smokey. I can't help with the tech. stuff, I >> have someone who does all this for me.

Now, as I expect you know, we are different again with our money as we haven't embraced the Euro. I've been all round Holland and it's a lovely country. I'm sure you'll love Amsterdam - it's a beautiful city. Good luck with the intro - keep us posted. janice "janice" <janice@london.uk> wrote in message > Hey, sorry I missed you in the 60s, but I didn't even live in London > then anyway.

You don't have cashiers telling you "That'll be 14, 2 and 7, Gov'ner" I remember one place right off of Picadilly called TopoGigio's. They had the best lasagna, better than I had in Rome. Sure wish I could stretch this out another week or two. Hey, how would like a house guest for a couple of weeks? ;-] > I've been all round Holland and it's a lovely country. I'm sure > you'll love Amsterdam - it's a beautiful city. As an enthusiast of architecture, I'm really looking forward to it. I just hope the canals aren't iced over then. The guide book says that's the best way of seeing the city. > Good luck with the intro - keep us posted. Sadly, I had to pass on that. Between saving for this trip, and dipping into that fund to pay for this Bally's membership (providing I can luck into one in my price range,) money's a little too tight for that right now. Wish I could swing it, but for now, I'll just have to wait for Destiny to step in. Have a happy... Smokey Smokey, you have traveled!! You are very lucky :) Only to see all this , is only in my distant dreams:( glo Hi glo - how are you doing? Good to see you still lurk here at least:) janice >Smokey, you have traveled!!

Paris is a wonderful city, filled with art, lovely streets and many, many things to do. Sure, there's wonderful food and farmers' markets, but I walked so much that I lost weight. The cemeteries are cool too, I mean, who wouldn't want to visit Jim Morrison's grave? That was a highlight for me. Europe is a wonderful place, even if they do smoke too much. Watch out for the dog poop in A'dam, it's everywhere. And for goodness sake, do NOT walk in the bike lanes! Martha Prostitution indeed...not worth it... http://datefreenow.com and other free sites are more interesting to me - you don't have to pay to to just say hello. > > Good to hear from you Smokey.

Cool! Thanks much. Oh Smokey, I was wondering how you were doing. Good to see you back. Roxan > Hey all > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Smokey > Oh Smokey, I was wondering how you were doing.
