    Yeah, I'm still finding new things to do here myself. Feel free to poke and click. If I can help, we'll figure it out.

    This sounds good! Normal can be boring, a little off center keeps us alert & looking forward to the future.

    Now you have me curious. What photo program do you use? I like how you did the beveled edge on it.

    Two questions: What is a peach monkey and do you carve them? (that's only one of my questions)
    And, what is the app you loaded "Emote"? I really haven't had time to go poking deep in the applications yet.

    Cool peach pits. I noticed them, I thought on your hat in one of your pics.
    On the map, yeah, I thought that was cool too. You see how many of us put our geo location, about 3%. Maybe once we are good and off the ground, we can strong arm folks into putting it on their page. You know our place is probably much more personal in terms of relating to each other than any other place I have seen online- in terms of knife places, anyway. Not everyone is comfortable with that.....yet :)
