2100!?? Wow, you are popular!
I hardly get any spam-mail. Must be my uncommon name.

Unfortunately, that's no spam. That's actual people who want something from me. Debate about things that need to be in an open meeting, or it violates the Sunshine laws. Invitations to fundraisers. Updates on the careers of aspiring singers. Facebook invitations. Book sales. Just foolishness, mostly. I'll open 16 and ignore 9. That's pretty good, I think.

I have a wide range of acquaintance. I can expect 40 a day on a slow day. Waste of electricity, mostly, but the only way to keep in touch with some good folks. Sensible people realize I only respond when I have something to say. So I wait and read for a bit, usually.

Heh, I don't have many people to keep in touch with. Or, at least, not many people that I care to keep in touch with.

Katya, the trick is to use thick yarn and thick needles.
But be careful, because the last time I underestimated the woolliness of the wool and I ended up making not a scarf, but an extra blanket... (One was too big to use as a scarf, so I made another and sewed them together et voila. ) I left it behind in Japan though.

Hehe, my sis just came in and asked why I was laughing. She didn't have to go through the hail, fortunately. Anyways, good luck. Knitting is quite fun, or at least, I think it is. Though I never seem to be able to finish something... (other then the previously mentioned scarf/blanket )

o_O We've got some serious hail coming down here. I hope my little sis isn't out there right now or can at least find some shelter... Wouldn't want her to come back home bleeding. O_o

Me here, no she hasn't. Nor have I. For me I have an open campus coming up this Friday. I went with my sis to an open campus from Marine Biology (I showed it to her and she was really really really enthusiastic) but when we got there after 3 hours of travelling, we could go home again, because (contrary to the information on their website) my sisters previous study weren't on the right level and basically she was told that she wasn't smart enough for it. By the studycounsellor... Honestly, I could strangle that woman! My sis was feeling down for a week.
She is now again looking for a backup study. Her first choice is Forensic Research by the way, but I guess I told that already. Anyway... cup of tea anyone? Chocolate eggs? *places chocolate eggs on the table and pours a cup of tea for herself.
