Hope you are enjoying your day.Here is a picture by artist Eduardo Arroyo.

Hey, happy BD, hilarious asst. principal, ret.!  You're a super hoot.

ohai, there you are.

Believe me, I join you as we're being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the new age.  Yes, snail mail is easier, and more meaningful, but 'putin (rhymes with Newton) is a lot faster.  Of course, speed is not the be-all end-all on every occasion, but it is helpful for things like ironing out details of our happy fun art projects (such as, Hey, Diane, am I supposed to send this to Natalie or Andrea?), or even acknowledging receipt of things.  I'm always on pins and needles wondering if something I sent got where it was supposed to. 

This is a large and confusing site, I know.  I still haven't figured everything out, but by just poking around, pointing and clicking, seeing where it takes you (don't be afraid; you can't blow anything up), things eventually start making more sense.  I'd be glad to help you take some baby steps if you want.  If you don't want to bother, I understand that too, but there are some groups and projects and people here I KNOW you would really like. If you just don't want to, you don't need to read any more of this.  If you do want to give it a try, I'd start with the sending messages thing. 

Be aware that there are two basic ways to communicate one-on-one.  You can comment or you can send a message.  A comment is public; a message is private.  When you make a comment to someone, it will appear on your page and on their page on what's called the comment wall, and anybody who navigates to that page can read it.  (When you send a message, only the person you're talking to will see it.)  What you've done here with "KDJ, hiya" is you've posted that on your own page.  That's fine because I'm checking your page every now and then to see if you're checking in.  However, you haven't sent that comment anywhere, so if I didn't come to your page, I wouldn't see it.  To make a comment to me from your page just click on either my picture or my name (it's underlined).  That will take you to my page.  Then just scroll down to the white box where it says comment wall, Leave a comment for KDJ, and type away.  When you're done, just scroll back to the top, click on "My Page" and it will take you back to your page.  Aw, c'mon.  Try it.  (I just noticed, you have done this before because you've commented to Diane.  Notice it says left a comment for Diane, but for mine it says you "posted a status."  That's because you put it on your own page.)

If you're still enrolled, Lesson 2 will be friending.  Doesn't that sound friendly?   

Also note, you can delete any comments from your page--for example, this long thing that really doesn't matter.  To the right of the first line of each comment is a little "x" which you can click on and the comment will be deleted.  Aw, c'mon, try it!

Ha-ha-ha!  After making that last comment, I turned off my computer, went to the mail box and found a package from you!  Psychic friends connection!  Thanks for the dandy gel pens!  (I sent you a card yesterday and forgot to mention on it how much I liked the little books you and Mr. Mystery Man worked on.  Thanks for those too.) #:-) 

Hey, Andrea!  Do you ever look at this page?  Just checking. 

Andrea--the continuation of the story thus far. The books are both with KDJ. she is swamped right now so won't get to the books for a few weeks or so, but I told her it's no hurry. Just wanted you to know so you don't think they are lost!

The story continues--this is Andreas recent contribution and then i'm going to work in it and send to Nadine
