   Hi Vickie,
   Thanks alot, mine is:

   Kapaa, Hi. 96746
   
   Now when you come here for a vacation, you can find me, and I will be glad to be your tour guide!!!
   When I paid into Yuku at Mitzy's board, I thought it covered all the Yuku boards. Maybe not. I'll have to figure that out one of these days. LOL
   
   I opened a new checking account with my daughter's name on it in case she ever needs to pay my bills for me. In the process I'm supposed to get a new pin # which I haven't received yet. Consequently I can't renew my PB pro account and don't know if this is why I can't get them to copy in the Img. Code thing. I sent them an e-mail today, so hopefully I'll get an answer. They wouldn't accept my old one that I haven't closed yet ???
   
   Take care, and I'm so glad to see you at the Pavillion.
   Aloha, Betty Jean

   Hi Vickie,
   I left you a coment yesterday, but it didn't show up???
   Just wanted to say I'm sure missing your blends, and I hope when we start getting new pics (if we do) that I'll see some more of your great work. Hope this goes through.
   Aloha, BJ

   Hi Vicky,
   Your slide show is great, just wish it was a bit slower moving. LOL. I don't remember the one with Quiana in it-very nice!!!
   Yes, I'm having fun trying to learn new things. That's what life is all about, right? Hey, they say if you keep the mind active, you may not get Alzheimer (SP?). Anyway it sure is a good way to help keep depression away. Daughter Arlene wants me to get back into doing craft things again with all my thousands of different shells and coral I have. When we lived in the mainland, Calif. I was the show coordinator for the Orange County Art Assoc. We did shows on weekends in the various malls. It was so much fun. My hubby Gord and our daughter Arlene did most of the picture painting with acrylics. I did some in oils, but mostly made shell arrangements under globes, shell frames, and shell wall hangings. We had more fun and made some money at the same time. I also had a concession at Sears for the 6 week Christmas holiday for several years before moving here to Hawaii. Gord painted on large white Japanese shells and also on Black Lip Mother of Pearl shells. He'd do Hawaiian scenes and they sold very well. We had a good life.
   Take care, and I'll talk to you another time.
   Aloha, Betty jean

   Thanks for the visit, BJ. You have a very good mind and I can see that you've kept it busy all your life. Shells are so beautiful. So much variety in form, texture, and value. Have you every taken photos of them. I was just thinking that a close up of a group of them would make a great background. Of course, they could stand on their own as well. Does your daughter realize how much you've learned with PS and how difficult it is? Talk later, Vicky

   Hi Artz,
   I thought I left a note earlier today, but don't see it now. Anyway, I'm feeling sad that you are deleting your blends with Clay in them. They all have been so inspiring to me and I'm sure brought much joy to alot of us. We are missing you.
   I realize that everyone has different feelings right now, which to me is a bit hard to understand. Perhaps some of Clay's fans put him too high on a pedestal when he is really just a human being like all of us. For me, his personal life does not enter into the joy he has brought me. His loving heart is very inspirational, and I have felt the need to help in his charity as well as Unicef even though in a small way. Whatever his personal life is, really is none of my business. I just see the good he has done and hopefully can keep doing. No one is perfect since we all are humans with different emotions. We do the best we can at the moment and hope it is right. Personally, I think Clay's silence is the best, and to me the putrid, sensationalistic, supposed news people are vile. True or not, it's no ones business. We should care for the man for all the good he has been doing.
   
   Wow, get me off my band stand. LOL Whatever you feel, is your business and that is fine. I just miss you.
   
   Aloha, Betty Jean

   Betty Jean, I agree with your reply on Clay's personnal life. I've always been there for his voice and spirit. I dumped my blends to free up space and wait for a time to see what direction to take in my graphics. I don't think there's anything morally wrong with the " if it's true" news. He's had to have the backbone of a petrified dinosuar to stay with us this long. I've supported all the charities he's introduced us too, and have discovered a couple of new ones I care about because of Clay.
   
   I think I'm going to conscentrate on the lyrics from OMWH and see where that leads me.
