Animal House

Nice looking posters. I think it would be a very nice and appreciative idea to have a HUGE amount of these printed and offered to these nice people (through maybe Honi, Bonnie, Rosa and Tina) to distribute.

There are funds being collected for the rescue of Vivi (as referenced above in this website), so can these funds not be used for this purpose (as well as staplers, tape, staples, etc.). Just a question and suggestion?

An even nicer gesture would be posters for Sniffles and Biggie as well since many of these volunteers are concerned about them as well.

Good Morning everyone!
Very nice posters...were these done and sent for us by "georgepat", the person who posts on this blog and said we would be getting something we would be happy with?

If so, thank you so very much for your help...we all appreciate it so much!
Irene Wilson

This are great, however they need to say "lines open 24 hrs a day". Even with "Day or Night" I don't think people will call in the wee hours. IMHO

Kathleen, all flyers and posters are to be sent to me, not to Honi, not to Bonnie and not to Tina and Rosa. This has been decided by Honi and the owners. I will, in turn, turn them over to Tina and Rosa when needed.

They are to be sent to

Irene, hi and hope you're feeling OK with this rain. These various flyers and posters were received by me from numerous volunteers around the country and I, in turn, forwarded them on the Denise for posting.

Gail, it may be hard to believe but I do believe that Tina and Rosa have received calls in the middle of the night and I think they are now sleeping in their cloths. The biggest problem is that they always hear about a possible Vivi sighting hours after it's happened.

If anybody has a flyer or poster that they've prepared and would like added to the list, please PDF it to me at dtamm@prodigy.net and I'll pass it along to Denise for inclusion.

I know I've said this before but I just can't say it often enough - thank you all for your patience and cooperation in getting these flyers to me. Those that I have received I've scanned into my computer so they can either be forwarded or printed when needed.

I spent this morning delivering flyers. I have a Boy Scout Troop that contacted me about handing out flyers at their Garage Sale that has been postponed until tomorrow. I also received a call from a lady who lives by Kissena Park asking if she could post flyers.

I have discovered that the flyers that were originally posted are falling apart due to the rain but those that are either in a plastic sleeve or covered with tape are holding up fine.

Also, please make sure that when you post to consider the people who are walking - I noticed many posters on the street side of the poles but nothing on the sidewalk side. Those are the people we want to attract. They're out walking their dogs, out jogging, whatever. Also, please make sure the posters are posted on the higher side rather than lower.

Thank you all for all you're doing. I know it is appreciated by Jil, Bo and Paul. There really are no words to express their gratitude other than Thank You.

Remember, Brian has promised us a party when she' found. I'm looking forward to meeting as many people as possible from this blog.

One more thing since this is so long anyway. I'm thinking about another flyer hand-out blitz two weeks from today. Was going to do it next week but Easter is on Sunday. It will be like the last one - some will go to the local shopping centers to hand out flyers, some will ride around to check the posters and replace where necessary. I hope to have a new supply of the 3x5 handouts by then - I believe they were a big hit.

Thanks all, I'm going back into my corner now.

Diane

Kathleen, if you can send me a sample poster along with a picture of each, I'm sure that the kind people out here would be happy to make some posters for Sniffles and Biggie. I'd have no problem printing out a batch myself. But arrangements would have to be made to have them posted.

Diane

Hi Diane -

I apologize, it was late and I was tired, but I did know you handled the posters.

I have contacted Ashley and Courtney/Sharon by e-mail and asked for all the info they want included on the posters right away. I am also a graphic artist/designer and will design these right away. It appears you are using the PDF format, so I will save these in that format and send to you by e-mail as quick as I can.

Thank you for offering to help with these also for Biggie and Sniffles. Maybe we can have at least one happy ending soon. Sure would be great! Jill could get married, Sharon could finally move and Ashley could finally get her best friend back to love as well.

I think it would be nice to see these posted online at the Animalhouse site as well. Could you please ask Denise to help with this? Thanks.

Diane, Thanks for the update at least it keeps us abreast of what's happening down there. I scouted around today for something..not sure what. My husband was with me and I told him when Vivi comes home we are going to NY for a party, his reply was "oh, ok" it doesn't matter to him where it is..he's ready :-)

Is there a way to print 4 on a page in a hand out size? Damn if I could figure that out. I keep getting one at a time..seems like such a waste.

I have just made some business card size handouts with "what to do info". Printed two sides. Front side has a color photo. I am using Avery 8371 business card stock, prints 10 to a page. They could also be done on plain paper too. I have them as 2 Word documents. If anyone wants one, just email me and I'll send to you.

The easiest way to tell you to do it is just to print 4 and cut them and make copies if they are to be b&W. Unless you are using a laser printer copies are cheaper than inkjet cartridges anyway. I have a Mac but on the Windows based computer at school the print assistant for photos/images gives me a choice of 4 on a page.

Karen, That's what I'll do, cut them and than copy them at work. Thanks

Sometimes the "dumb" way is the easy way. I swear sometimes technology is great, much of the time even, but when it causes a problem like that it seems like scissors are faster.

What I was trying to do was print all 4 on a page at home and than copy them at work Monday. Or bring the color ones to staples tomorrow and see what I could get. I think the B$W will be just as good and certainly eaiser on the pocketbook :-) Now I want to find something to put them in so they are not just flimsy paper.

Print them on coverstock, maybe?

I have e-mailed Gail in CT and Karen about printing 4-up on a sheet of these. I think that is a great idea. Not only will it save money, but can also be put in someone's pocket, purse or wallet easier to make sure it does get taken down by the sanitation group in New York.

I asked Gail to send me the poster and I will design 4-up on a page for her and e-mail back. Let me know if anyone else would like a copy and I will be happy to share. I can do two pages with the rescue info on the back if you would like. Most printers will allow you to flip the paper and run on two sides. My HP Laserjet 2200D at work will print both sides at one time. So see if your printer can handle this as well - some can.

If I do all this art design today, I will be in Heaven. This is my true love doing. I just do data management because it pays better (hee, hee). Do my art now for fun!

The person who mentioned doing the ten up (I think) using Avery setup was a great idea. If you want easy cutting later, be sure and put a very thin-lined box around each of the label boxes before you print. Then you can just cut on the lines as well. Hope you have a paper cutter at home. That would speed things up a lot. Great idea using this too. You can buy the Avery laser paper, but it is very costly.

Kathleen,

I have a duplex printer too and would be able to print off 20 a minute in color on index stock.

Please email me the file. Thank you.

Kathleen, I sent you an email. I was tyring to do it from the flyers above. I just have a plain ol color printer at home so I was playing around with itand getting nowhere. Diane wants to do another flyer blitz in a couple of weeks if need be...I hope not...and I think people tend to put the smaller ones in their bags or shove in their pockets and look at it later.

I agree Gail. I will send my copy to Diane also and ask if she can get it posted on the blog for everyone to download and use as well. We need to watch the cost and also do something to stop this sanitation crew's work as well! Thanks for all your help. You and SharonG e-mailed me, and I look forward to others using this as well.

You go girls!

Kathleen Stephenson

I am not sure what the make-up of New York is as far as posting places are concerned but, I would suggest going for as many telephone poles as you can. If you are in areas that don't have underground telephone facilities, plaster all of the telephone poles you can find. The installers and repair technicians don't care and will leave them alone.

I just read a story on MSN about a Golden Retriever who was caught with a net after 2 years on the lam!

I have been following the story of Vivi and hope she will return home soon.

Here is the website about the Retriever.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12211522/

That dog was on the Today show yesterday, in person (broadcast from a safe kennel in NH)

Brian has already printed 3x5 cards but I can't seem to get a hold of him. Maybe he took a few days off for R&R

When I get the PDF for S & B I'll ask Denise to post them here with the Vivi flyers since everybody for both seems to be here. No problem. S & B need to get back home also.

Jil told me she had a dream the other night that Vivi jumped into Tina and Rosa's car. Wouldn't that be great.

Back to my corner.

Diane,

I have two packs (about 250) of those post it 4x6 sticky picture paper. Was wondering if these might come in handy to put on registers in deli's or in businesses where you can stick something of the sort. This is what I have. 4x6 matte

http://www.3m.com/US/office/postit/digital/sticky_paper_features.html

I can print some up if you could use them.

Sharon,

That sounds like a good idea. Please check your e-mail (everyone). I just sent the 4-up poster (front and back) to be printed in color.

Diane, please check your e-mail also. I sent a copy to you in Word 2003 format also.

Hope this will help everyone. One suggestion, kind of stand around when you give these to people for a minute and make them feel like they have to put in purse, pocket or wallet. Don't walk away and give them time to just throw on the ground (hee, hee, sneaky huh!)

Hugs from Kathleen and Tinkerbell and happy searching!

Do you ground troopettes need more plastic sleeves? Could I purchase some and have them delivered to Diane (or to someone else)? If so, is there a certain size that you'd like? Just let me know.

That is so sweet of you Rebecca. I'm sure they would appreciate help with this.

Diane, Gail in CT and Karen - SharonG got the 4-up poster okay it appears. I sent it to me at my 3 e-mails, and it came through fine at two of them. I think it may be your e-mail service if you did not get these. Please e-mail me and let me know if you have an alternate e-mail if the posters did not come through okay with the Vivi pictures on them.
Thanks. E-mailing graphics can be tricky sometimes because the ISPs put limitations on the sizes and graphics to protect their server space.

Kathleen and Tinkerbell

I got it fine. Thanks

Cool Karen. Now Diane how about you? Gail in CT please send me another e-mail I could send to. If a friend has Roadrunner or a DSL service, it would probably work better. Also, if you have a work e-mail it might work there as well.

Kathleen

Plastic covers - we could definitely use them. It protects the flyers from the elements and last longer.

If anybody need flyers Honi will be at Peck and Utopia (usual meeting place) from 10:30 until around noon tomorrow. She has 8-1/2 x 11 flyers that are laminated line the 3x5 cards we have last week. She'll be giving the balance of them to me and I'll pass some along to Tina and Rosa if you're only out there at night. Honi can be reached at 516-776-0923

On the first flyer posted here there is a picture of Vivi in the stacked position. If anyone has just that picture can you send it to me. That one I don't have. Thanks

I think I amy have that and sent it to you. maybe the right one.

Karen, go back to Bo on Delta, I explained where you could see the crate. Thanks, I got the picture.

You guys! I made a double-sided (with four on a page) handout version. I'll get it emailed to Diane on Monday. Gail, I'll email you version as well. It's in Microsoft Word but I can get the PDF version on Monday to you. It looks pretty cool.

Hi everyone---Am I to understand that the flyer size is 8-11/2 x 11 ? I can get some light weight plastic covers from the art shop I get my supplies from if you are in need of those---someone let me know the size is right and I'll get on the phone am mon and get them and I'll get them to Diane if that's the person to send to. I can get them there in overnight ship once I get them. they will be the light weight flexible kind that are used for packaging art for sale. I'll cover the costs.

Getting great Vibes in the energy we are holding for Vivi as a meditation/visualization/candle burning/ prayer group. I have been sensing she is in the process of searching for familiar scent. Hope there are some items down there---if not maybe good idea to pass on to Bo to get some.

Let me know about the covers, I'll check later for reply. Thankx gang. :)

Busy making posters -- as I'm sure you all are, too! Keep up the good work.

Gale, Yes 8 1/2 by 11 protective sleeves. The cheapest you can find and send them to Diane. That would great, thank you.

I just sent out 100 four to a sheet flyers for handouts. I couldn't print front and back and make them color to so I pasted the sheets together and than cut them. Tomorrow I'll send out regular b/w and color flyers in protective sheets. I was busy yesterday :-). With Easter this weekend I won't have time to do any.

I've got some sheet protectors en route to Diane, too.

Printing off a pile(well over 1200) of handout cards on card stock and a good handful of biz card size. Should be there tomorrow via UPS. It ships overnight from PA without the added overnight charge.

If you want to check the UPS transit time, you can go to www.ups.com and enter the data to get the estimated delivery time.

Recently they eliminated a day or two from most areas. Parts of CA ship to the east coast in 4 days. Chicago in 2 and most of the Northeast states in one day. This should ease up the extra expense of overnight shipping.

I shipped 4 lbs of postcard size to Diane for $4.12. It will be there tomorrow.

This is great. Hopefully she'll have a jeep full for the weekend.

I just got an email from Diane! I guess she received 3000 laminated posters from(?) someone. I think that is AWESOME! She also mentioned that the postcards should be coming from Brian soon so it doesn't really sound like they need the "hand-out" sized sheets. Sounds like I will not need to make posters or print handouts for a very long time.

Here's hoping we won't need all of them and she will
be recovered by than.

Wow! 3000 laminated posters. Great. And Brain's postcards. I am sure Diane will let us know if they are running short.

And whatever is surplus can be cut up into confetti for Vivi's ticker tape parade.

After all, that is a NY tradition.

DO they still do them? Or have the littering laws stepped in? I remember seeing seas of paper flying from windows for the honored ones in the parade.

I think Vivi deserves one.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Vivi can show up in time for the AWC nationals later this month in Boston?

Kudos to Brian for getting some well deserved press about himself today's Newsday! And handsome he is though his pic doesn't show up on this link- have pic in local paper.

ON THE MOVE: Hospitality

JUDY WEINBERG
April 10, 2006

BRIAN ROSENBERG

New position: As vice president of sales and marketing of The Garden City Hotel, he will be leading the team in these areas. The hotel, which opened in 1874, has 285 guest rooms and has been owned and operated by the Myron Nelkin family since 1983. Rosenberg has worked at the hotel since 1990, the past 14 years as vice president of special events. His accomplishments include overseeing the hotel's nightclub, Posh Ultralounge; introducing Rein Bar & Bistro; directing the renovation of the hotel's grand lobby, and managing the Polo Restaurant. He lives in East Northport.

New responsibilities: "I will be responsible for sales, marketing, revenue management and corporate communications, including strategic planning, formulating and implementing sales and marketing programs. My priority is to integrate direct selling strategies, marketing approaches and Web site development to optimize revenue generation for our hotel property."

Biggest challenge in his new position: Rosenberg says his biggest challenge will be to "direct sales strategies to capture a larger share of the group- meetings market in the tristate region and continuing to convince potential clients who work in big cities outside of New York that our property and Long Island can execute all their needs."

What led to his interest in hotel management: "I have been a nightclub and restaurant promoter for many years. I was initially hired by The Garden City Hotel to promote and run the hotel's restaurants and nightclub. My roles and responsibilities evolved as the hotel grew more successful."

What advice he would give someone planning a career in hotel management: "You have to love your career. Never do anything just for the money. It is important to find something you are passionate about. As my father always said, 'Do what you love, be great at it and the money will find you.'"

What accomplishments is he most proud of: Having his daughter, Elle, rescuing his dogs Buckley and Mimi, and his charity work with animal shelters. Recently he has been heading the search for the missing whippet Vivi, the show dog that ran away from Kennedy Airport. He raised more than $8,000 at a fundraiser at The Garden City Hotel in order to hire pet detectives for the search.

Biggest pet peeve: "Chewing gum in the workplace. (Cracking the gum is even worse). Also, people with bad information."

People he most admires: "My parents, for their honesty and commitment to family. My wife, for being a great mother and soulmate."

What he does in his leisure time: Rosenberg enjoys watching his 6-month-old daughter smile, and he painfully roots for the Mets and Jets.

Hi everybody. We can defintely use plastic sheet protectors - 8-1/2 x 11 size. I'm saving the double sided flyers for our next flyer hand-out blitz which I think will be on Saturday, April 22nd. It would be a waste to hang those on poles since only one side would be seen.

I heard today that Brian received the 3 x 5 cards and I believe he'll be sending them to me today.

Somebody also suggested that we contact Weight Watchers to see if they would hand out flyers out at their meetings. I still have to call them but the double sided flyers are also good for that.

Anybody that has e-mailed flyers, I'm received them, just haven't had a chance to open all my e-mails and respond. What I can't open at home I can open in the office.

One other thing, somebody else has suggested that for those of us that are vertically challenged we should think about brining a stool to post the flyers so they go higher up on the pole. Just think of it as exercise.

Once again, thank you all for your support and hard work. It's uplifting to know that there are so many people out there willing to help locate a lost dog who, through no fault of her own, has suddenly become a resident of New York.

Diane

Thanks Diane, Brian, Debbie, Linda and all of the other people there putting up flyers, posters and getting the word out. You all are wonderful.

ANY sightings of Vivi at all in recent days?
~Carol from Maine

Hi folks,
It seems a constant problem with the flyers is that they keep getting torn off and/or blown off by wind and ruined by the elements unless they are in plastic sleeves.

HAS ANYBODY TRIED PASTING THE FLYERS TO POLES?

I've seen this done with flyers for nightclub acts & concert promotions in NYC. They simply brush on some sort of paste or glue and slap the flyer right on it!
Once it's up I'm pretty sure they also brush a quick coat over the flyer, probably to help keep the rain from ruining them. It seems to also work well on plywood fences around construction sites as well and there's plenty of those in the areas she's been seen around in Queens right now.
They seem to cover huge locations real fast with this method. It has to be less time consuming than fiddling around with tape, as well as plastic sleeves, especially on windy days. Also a large can of paste/glue may be less expensive than tape and plastic sleeves.
Most likely a Staples or hardware store would know and have in stock whatever kind of paste/glue is commonly used. How's this sound?

Wondered if anyone had seen this nice article on Brian?

http://www.newsday.com/business/ny-bzpeop104696892apr10,0,4934611.story?coll=ny-business-print

Pam - see a few posts above. Kudos to Brian!

I scanned the same article from Newsday this morning because it also has Brian's cutie patootie pic in it which the online newsday column doesn't put in.

http://www.sageasita.com/BrianRosenburg.jpg

Anybody sending me an e-mail please use the subject line of Vivi - I will not be opening any e-mail that I don't recognize and that doesn't have the Vivi subject line. The reason for this is that somebody has attempted to send a virus to me but McAfee automatically deleted it and left me an automated message.

Thanks all. By the way, isn't he cute. Beautiful eyes.

Diane

Diane 9:08

You must be talking about Brian. Yes, he does have beautiful eyes. And I admire the respect he has for his parents. And for the Mets.

I need to explain the ok for the Mets and any Yankee fans.

I have a cousin who played for the Red Sox but had his roots on LI. His father was potato farmer. Yaz.

Hi everyone-
Hope everyone has been in a spot to enjoy this beautiful weather--- especially Vivi, and the Boys!
(Don't enjoy it too much, kids, We want you HOME!)
THANKS FOR THE ARTICLE ON BRIAN,IT GIVES A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE GUY WHO TALKS IN CAPS.
I haven't seen or heard anything new from the shelters, but Susan, Cherita, Rebecca Woolston, and several others have been checking, too. (Sorry if I forgot names-- 'flu's still clinging to the brain I think.)
My NHS students have made some pretty nice posters for Vivi, and Sniffles. I ran a few extra flyers but it looks like you're good in that department. I will have them coated or put in sleeves tomorrow, and ship them out so you don't run out over the weekend.
Is there an official Biggie poster, Courtney Place?,Kathleen?
I wish there was some way they could let us know if there have been sightings--not the location-- but this would sure buoy the morale of the out of town poster makers and prayers.
You wonderful people on the pavement are too incredible for words. I sure hope you've been getting some word on the success story to keep you going. For people who work so hard, you sure seem to enjoy one another's company.
I just lit the kitchen candle. I hope the night prayers have been giving us some thoughts to share.

God, Creator, and Father of us all, listen to the prayer and praise of a people who want the best for all residents of Your Kingdom. During this Holiest of Weeks, a time when Death itself was conquered by
the power of Your Love, and the faithfulness of Your Son, create a space for a small miracle, or three. You know the hearts, Father, of those of us you have called to love and care for our brothers, and sisters, the animals. You have made us "a little crazy" in our love for them, and we're proud of that distinction. If it is your will unite Vivi,
Biggie, Sniffles, and all the lost with families who love them. Until that time we ask that You continue Your Shepherd's care for them. Strengthen our faith in You, no matter what our faith tradition. Bless in a special way the people who are the physical presense of Your tireless love. Send all of us refreshing sleep after a day of trying to do your will. We all rest better knowing YOU ARE IN CHARGE! Amen.

I'll take another shoot through the shelter lists--
I'll let you know if I see something, otherwise, 'Night everyone!

OKAY FOLKS HERE'S A WAY TO STOP THE FLYERS FROM BEING REPEATEDLY TORN DOWN:

I called 311 and explained the situation and learned it's against the law to advertise on public property and that's why the Sanitation Department tears off Vivi's flyers. I explained that we are NOT trying to sell a product or service here, that we are trying to RECOVER A LOST DOG BEFORE SHE DIES OUT THERE and that this was the most effective way to help locate her AND that volunteers were killing themselves putting these flyers up day & night only to find they are just as quickly removed which is a GIGANTIC WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!! I also elaborated on the fact that many of the volunteers were not kids, have health issues and were doing this at their own personal sacrifice...
Note: I wasn't yelling, just stressing the points.....
From his response I knew my points were well taken and he transferred me to police headquarters. From there I ended up speaking with the 109th precinct. The officer there also felt this situation needed to be remedied ASAP and so I spoke with Det. Kim at Community Affairs 718 321-2269 who luckily is an avid dog lover and has been looking for Vivi so naturally he was sympathetic to the situation. He will be contacting the Sanitation Dept. tomorrow, HOWEVER he STRESSED that it would be best if someone would contact the PR division of the Sanitation Dept. and the Mayor's office tomorrow and explain the situation as I did above. He also suggested that perhaps a compromise could be made with the Sanitation Dept. to not tear the flyers down for a given period of time.
LOL Seems to me the timing of this is a great opportunity for BRIAN to CAPITALIZE on his latest bit of publicity and use his PR clout where it could really do some good!!
So what do you say BRIAN?
PS: I couldn't resist writing it this way, I know you love those CAPS! ;)

Thanks Diane! :0)

I had just finished scanning the Shelters - even to a full regional scan - There was nothing new as of tonight but will continue to check each day at lunch and each evening.
Keeping the faith for VIVI, Snifs, Biggie and Dante in TX

Diane, that was a fantastic thing you did and I do think it will work. Your right, Brian needs to take over from here!!

>>>>Diane, that was a fantastic thing you did and I do think it will work. Your right, Brian needs to take over from here!!

Many thanks Kathy :)

LOL Maybe we should start a cheerleading chant?
GO BRIAN GO BRIAN YAY TEAM VIVI!!

Wonderful, fabulous, so much deserved article about Brian!!! Thanks to all of you who posted the article. He so deserves it. Did anyone note the part about "what he likes to do in his free time"??? I just had to smile with the irony.... gosh, what he does!! LIKE he has ANY free time... this man is a saint (along with all of you incredibly appreciated foot soldiers out there) and so is his wife!!!! Brian, I hope you read this and want to send you, once again, my humble thanks for all that you have done and continue to do!! Keeping the Faith, Marnie in CA

Where do the Sniffles flyers get sent to? If it's in the blog, I can't find it or is everything going to one place? Susan

Yeah - go find the other animals - can't even find Vivi and this is her site.

Just let the spies lead you around by the nose. Idiots!

Hey LuLu:

See what I mean - think we should have pity on them and send up a team anyway? If we did that, then where'd get our laughs from - it's fun reading stupidity.

You guys are so stupid. Just watch and study who posts what and when - to find out how the spies are leading you around by the nose. Turning the blogg into a team of robots - taking orders from the brain. BRAIN. Like good little girls. You make me sick to my stomach - all of you.

Vivi deserves better - better from her owners, better from the so-called search team, better from the volunteers - but you bloggers are interested in feeling good that any real help offered or any real ideas are treated with disrespect and chased away. What's the average education level here - 2nd grade?

I am not helping. Ask Gail the great mystic.

REGARDING THE FLYERS BEING CONSTANTLY TORN DOWN:

Does anyone know if Brian was able to make some headway with the Department of Sanitation's PR people and the Mayor's office?
Does anyone know if even he saw my post regarding this issue?
Should I email him or has anyone already forwarded it to him? PLease advise.
Note: I initially thought it best to post it here, because I figured with the recent press article on him he probably was flooded with thosands of emails, but now I'm wondering if that was the best course of action. Hello Brian are you reading this? If so, kindly advise what the scoop is on stopping DOS from tearing down the flyers, many thanks :)

Diane K-M, the NY Leo: Darlene told me it isn’t the Sanitation Dept. They said they don’t have enough manpower to assign people to walk around tearing down posters. However, Darlene and the others have run into at least one person who accused them of littering and tore down the posters right in front of them. Also I bet (I HOPE) some people are tearing them down to keep in case they see Vivi.

Susan: Ashley has over 1,000 flyers on hand and I don’t think she needs more at the moment. You should check with her (autumnfaeirie@yahoo.com).

Sybil: I see you have added personalities to your Cynthia identities. I just wanted to tell you how charming “noname” and “PokerJune-AK” are.

Tara from LI (another fire sign: a NY Aries)

HI everyone----had a big day yesterday-----great efforts showing themselves. And a few nuts surfacing to the top again----just scoop and toss like clumpable litter :) I guess multiple personality is the problem rather than just by-polar. Ordered the clear colvers should have them soon from the art shop (I wish they had them in stock) and will get them to you overnight Diane.

I read the other posts about everyone being animals...very cute.

Congrats to Brian---big job working with that sector---I used to coordinate International conferences for our division in the company I worked for. Glad I don't have to do that anymore---it was fun, but now it's great to be in my own business full time finally :) Goog Luck Brian. And about the gum---there are crackers (between back teeth), snappers (sucked between front teeth), and poppers (blow amall bubbles and then bite them) :).

Gonna check emails now to see how everyone's doing. Was gone all day Tuesday with Quinn. Check in later. (am I now a Mystic too?)

See what I mean - think we should have pity on them and send up a team anyway? If we did that, then where'd get our laughs from - it's fun reading stupidity.
