Conference vaxcat::friends

    thankyou jim for the great hat!
    
    /gina

no problem. The smile when you put it on was well worth it 8^) Then again, all
your smiling faces had me pretty quiet 8^)

Glad to hear you might be around for another lunch sometime.

Have a fun and safe weekend.

CM

    
    I would like to say a special thank you to Joyce Tomao.
    She was there for me this past weekend when more than ever
    in my life I needed someone to be there.  Between her and 
    Alan, they helped me get through the hardest time of my
    life.
    
    My mom had a heart attack friday.  She is ok, and there seems to
    be no damadge to her heart that they can see as of yet.  It was
    a very scary experience, and I still wonder if it will happen 
    again, and be much worse next time, but I suppose that's natural.
    
    Thanks Joyce for keeping me sane this weekend!  You are a very good
    friend, and in case I don't say this enough, I care about you alot,
    and think you are the nicest person!

   Thank you Ravi, I wanted to write in about my Mother yesterday, but just
 couldn't bring myself to do it.

   I also want to thank all of you who have supported me throughout the past
seven months.  It has meant a great deal to me.  Now I must follow Terrie's
advice, and allow my friends to comfort me.  I haven't been very social this
year, I haven't wanted to bring everyone down with my sudden bursts of
uncontrollable depression.

   Thank you for being my friend.

And when you're bombing along on the Information Superhighway, you've got to
look out the "window" at the foliage in that Forest.

If you have a ./gif viewer included, you can see a lot of people on their
homepages. "http://www.wired.com" is another place that will get you a bunch of
pointers. It's the homepage for Wired magazine which is interesting once you get
more into this stuff.

Of course you can also get the current Dilbert and Dr. Fun comics...

	Cyberversive is neat too...;*)

    Chris
    :)

	Jacqui, yer in my building! BIGQ is my old node. Are you really here or
just using a friends account? Maybe we can do coffee!


	chico

    Hi guys,

    Yup, I have been on BIGQ since July 1988 when Maria hired me to 
    watch over her.  I did that for awhile and then moved in with 
    the group.  That group gave me up to Kathy in DC this past June
    so I am now residing in BLDG 1.  I also now watch over Frank,
    Sean, and Lori.  The BIGQ group just got finished paying for 
    my B.S. in Mgmt from Lesley College.  It only took me 33 years
    to get my degree.  So, if there is anyone out there thinking that
    they want to go or go back, do it!  You only have to take a course
    at a time or faster depending on your study pain thresh hold.  

    justme....jacqui

    
    
    	good job on the the Bachelors! My father is going for his bachelors
    and my mother just got her Masters in counseling psychology. It's never
    too late! :)
    
    
    chico

    Bachelors!! um hehe oh were we talking about single guys??
