hey john, great peace of writing buddy. you got a great writing skill, wish i could write like that. i do not have good english, no wonder i got very poor score in gre verbal, so always fascinated by good writings. i guess i can not express in writing and the lack of vacabulary adds up for not being able to express well. i am regular visitor of site and liked your earlier writings as well. i also liked writing of oys, who i believe is a very talent individual. keep it coming guys. hope to get chance to read more of your sweet memories. by the say, did i say that, i can also identify myself as you in this peace, what i am trying to say here is, i also used to chat a lot and had many circumtances where i used to wait for long time to see the pop up of msn singing in of the ones that i liked most to chat with. cyber age i guess.
