Subject: Do they have a "making a web page" for dummies?

Hey Girl!!
 
As soon as I came home from work tonight, I flew to the computer, anticipating an e-mail from you, and sure enough, there was!  Can you imagine how much more we’ll be writing to each other once you get a computer at home?
 
What did I do with my free weekend?  Not much.  I hung around here, wrote a little bit, went on the computer, watched tv, made mad, passionate love to Arnold Vosloo, took a walk, listened to some of my cds … what?  Back up a bit?  Is there something I said that you don’t believe?  All right, I confess: I didn’t take a walk at all! (wicked laugh)
 
I don’t think MSN is my internet provider.  I think its excite.  but then again "I RETARDED"  when it comes to computers! 
 
Speaking of being totally clueless.  The advice you gave me about the links in my webpage ….HUH?  Ok, let me see if I have any kind of clue of what I’m doing here.  You gave me the example: < a href= "http://www.tv-now.com" > tv-now</a>  Ok, so when you made your Praise Page and Service page and the tribute to your dad page and so on, did you type the words" praise page" where the tv-now.com is?  I just …. my brain is totally fried when it comes to this stuff!  Hey, would you consider flying up here and helping me with this? (LOL)  It may be awhile before my web page is ready for public viewing!  WAAAAA!!
 
I kid you not about that lady and the envelope!  I have another "retarded customer" story:  Usually after Christmas, a lot our Christmas merchandise is on sale- ornaments, gift wrap and boxed cards.  Anyway, we have signs posted where the sale items are- for example "All Christmas boxed cards are 40%  off"  Pretty simple, right?  Well, last year this lady asks me, "Is that 40% off the original price?"  No, they’re 40% off my ass!  What did she think they be 40% off of?  We also have a year-round sale section and we have signs posted in big bold letters like this: all sales on sale merchandise final.  no refunds or exchanges.  and another sign: Gift certificates cannot be used on sale items.  and we have these signs posted  all over the sale section.  I can’t tell you how many times someone either wanted to use a gift certificate or wanted a refund on a sale item.  And when you tell them no, they get pissed at you.  I want to say to them, "Didn’t you read the fu*%in signs, moron?"
 
yes, you may use my stories in your service page!  I also wanted to ask you, when I finally do get my website figured out, can I do a service page and a praise page like yours?  I don’t want to "copy" you, but I just think those pages would be really cool to have and I have so much to say about stuff like that.    You can say no if you want to, I just have a lot of good ideas looking at your site.
 
my aunt Angela went into labor last night and this afternoon she had a boy!  Yep, 7lbs, 8oz, his name is Mark Robert.  Mom and baby are doing just fine.  This is her and her husband’s first baby.  Actually Mark (her husband) is her second husband.  He’s younger than her (she’s 40 and he’s 29), but they don’t look it.  She looks younger for her age and he looks older and she’s an "immature 40" and hes a mature 29, so it all works out.  Hell, maybe when I’m 40 I’ll marry some sweet young thang of 29 or so! (lol)
 
also- my cousin, Jennifer is pregnant.  At first they thought she was going to have triplets!  Well, she went to the doctor’s the other day and they found another baby!  She’s going to have quadruplets!  Can you imagine?  She and Ray (her husband) are so excited.  They already have a little boy, Timmy.  He’s three.  And what’s so exciting about this is that she wasn’t taking any fertility drugs.  It was a totally natural conception.
 
Anne, I’m about to confess something here and I’m so ashamed to be saying it, but i have to talk to someone about it.  When good things happen to members of my family (babies, weddings, you know things like that), don’t get me wrong, I am very happy for them, but I just can’t help but to think "What about me?  When is it going to be my turn?"  Am I a horrible person?  I hope not!!
 
questions answered
 
is my purse little or big- big!  I have too much junk for a little purse!
 
do i wear my make up every time I leave the house?- yes!  Some days I get all glamed up, but even on the days I don’t, I wear the basics- foundation, powder, blush, I sweep one color eye shadow across my lids and I’ll put some clear lip gloss on.
 
would I go underwater in one of those steel cages with large sharks swimming around?-  HELL NO!
 
ideal room temp?- 65-70 degrees
 
what do I think would be cool about being a guy?-  Not having to have to waste my time shaving my legs or under my arms, or putting makeup on and all those "girly" things.  A man just washes his face and he’s done!  Also, it be interesting to know what it would feel like to pee standing up.  (I know, I’m sick!)
 
do mosquitoes seem to bite me more than they do other people?- Usually yes, but so far I’ve been having a mosquito-bite free summer.  Thank God!
 
How much of what they say in tabloids do I think is true- about 15-25%
 
Would I pay $250 to see Madonna?- no
 
How much would I pay to have dinner and an evening out with my favorite celebrity obsession?- Ok, I’m thinking about Arnold and I would definitely pay up to $1,000.  I like your idea about the charity auction, but I’d be Arnolds "ho" for the night.  "Oh, Mr.. Vosloo!  Whip me, beat me,  make me yours!"  Believe me he would get his money’s worth!
 
Would I do a love scene or a strip tease scene in a movie? Sure, just as long as #1 I don’t have to get totally naked (the idea of my high school teachers seeing my ta-tas flashed across the big screen sends shivers or horror up and down my spine) and #2 it would have to be with an actor I was attracted to (Arnold, Mitch, Tim …. etc)
 
movie- Rudy (i saw overboard.  I thought it was cute)
tv show- Touched By An Angel
cd- The Eagles- Hotel California
 
funny moment- In an episode of Newhart, Michael is the chief organizer for the town’s annual apple festival and he totally over commercializes the whole thing.  At one point he’s wearing this very flashy white and red outfit and one of the locals comments, "Michael looked like an apple pimp."
 
New questions
 
have you ever read someone else’s diary?- I hate to admit it, but yes.  When Danielle and I were younger, I would sneak an occasional peek into her diary.  After the third time, it was so boring I decided that was punishment enough for me!
 
When you were a kid, did you ever threaten to "run away from home"?- Yes!  Once it even got to the point where I was looking for my suitcase!  I was only ten at the time, and to be honest I cant even remember what I was bitching about. 
 
When you find out your favorite celebrity is going to be on a talk show how do you anticipate it?- I get scared.  I think, ‘oh, I hope he doesn’t turn out to be a total jerk in real life!’  Fortunately, I’ve seen Arnold in interviews and he seems really nice.  Very sweet and modest.  Oh, that sexy-sweet combo is fatal for me!
 
Ok, say you did lose your virginity before you got married.  Would you tell anyone?  Who would be the first person you would tell?- I don’t know if I would tell anyone, but if I did, Danielle would be the first person I would tell.
 
would you want to have the IQ of a genius?- no. 
 
is it quiet or noisy where you live?- NOISY!  a train goes by right in front of our house.  Also this siren goes off practically every night and its so loud and annoying.  ITs for the volunteer fire department.  What I don’t understand is- the stupid thing goes off every day, but there are no fires.  What’s up with that?
 
If you could have any kind of accent, what kind would you like to have?- an English accent.  (It just occurred to me that you have a southern accent!  I must have a Pittsburgh accent then )
 
when do you usually put your Christmas tree up?- probably the second week of December.  and we take it down the second week of January.  My uncle puts his up the day after Halloween and takes it down the beginning of March!
 
would you get dressed up and go trick-or-treating now at your age?- Sure!  I think it be fun!
 
have you ever accidentally opened up the bathroom door when someone was "taking care of business?"- yes!  I was at some family function and I opened the door and saw someone sitting on the toilet!  I immediately closed the door and said in horror, "Sorry!" and she said "That’s all right".  Why do we say "that’s all right?".
 
has it ever happened to you?- yes!  When I was at work, I was using the bathroom, and I had finished, and thank God, I had my underwear pulled up, when the door opened! … and it was ED!  ACCKK!  I wanted to flush myself down the toilet!!
 
would you say that your house is spotlessly clean?  Cluttered? A total chaos?-  I’d say cluttered.  Our house is so small and we just have so much stuff!
 
I know this is morbid, but what do you think is the absolute worst way to die?- drowning.
 
do you save the e-mails I’ve sent you you?- yes!  I’ve even been saving my e-mails to you so I know what we’re talking about!
 
well, that’s all for now, see you soon!  take care and God bless!
