That is such an interesting site. I thought Godzilla was exercising poetic licence when he said that. Nice one Godzilla

Dear Paula, Lizzytysh just wrote me that your photo is
broken on the Gallery page and indeed it looks like it is - there is
a typo in the code of the page; I will correct it during
the weekend when I'm back home. Meanwhile, here
is Paula:

Thanks, Linda.

Yes, Paula ~ it sure is an interesting site. Just read the piece on "twisted bellybutton." Hey ~ good to see you here

! Hope to see you in NY in 2004, too

. I knooooow you don't want to be one of those left to only the reading of the many marvelous accounts, like so many of us are doing right now regarding Brooklyn. There's still time to think and plan ahead

and make wise decisions

.

You look great, Paula! Even at rest, your face looks very animated and mischievous

! Aside from that, there's a prettiness that runs through it all........

AAAAARRRRRUUUUGHA Linda,

That is excellent web site. It can explain many things about Japanese people. There are other sites in Japanese characters for we Japanese to read about the West. To understand each other. It makes me happy that you try to understand me. I would like to drink that Corona beer!

AAAAAAARRRRRUGHA Paula,

I like your photograph very much. You look like a kind, happy person, just as Lizzytysh says.

AAAAARRRRRUUUUGHA Lizzytysh,

I think many on the board have Heso twisted one time or the other. But then apologies are made and everyone becomes friends again. I can not come to New York in 2004 so I depend on you Lizzytysh to write report of the wonderful time at the Leonard Cohen Event.

Hi Linda,

I found the link you provided for us to be extremely interesting! It was a real treat!

It is the kind of article that proves how one can be totally unaware of another's feelings. Great care must be taken in our words and actions with each other. I will try to remember this myself in the future. I do not want to bend anyone's navel or twist anyone's belly button.

Yes, warm eyes, Paula

.

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrruuuuuuuugha, Godzilla ~ ooh, pressure pressure

. One thing I see so clearly through the accounts of Brooklyn is that there are as many perspectives of an event as there are people writing about it. I'll have my own for sure, unless I'm so overwhelmed by it all, I can't write a word. Even so, I'll be sure I write at least you a report from my perspective. There will no doubt be many written

.

Linda I saw this in the Daily Mail and I thought of you. They were listing the top ten football chants and this one is for Sheffield United sung to the tune of John Denver's "Annie Song"

"You fill up my senses like a gallon of Magnet, like a packet of Woodbines, like a good pinch of snuff, like a night out in Sheffield, like a greasy chip buttie, my Sheffield United come fill me again".

They don't write songs like that any more

What a fun football chant

O.K what are woodbines?
I am getting the desire to try one of those greasy chip butties.

Linda, woodbines are cigarettes, of the cheaper, smaller variety. Sometimes sold one at a time as "loosies" in small corner shops to those with little money in hard times. I'm not sure if Woodbines are still around these days, as I no longer smoke so I'm a bit out of touch.

Here a woodbine, is a type of flower or flowering vine of some kind. It would be wise for me, when in the UK, not to buy something sight unseen.

We have a different meaning for rubber and fag also.

We need to tread very carefully with what we ask for in the USA.
