My oldest daughter is born in March, the end of march to be exact. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for spending the time on the art, I was so shocked and surprised that anyone would take the time to do anything with it. I will now switch out my avatar, for the new and revamped one, the one I PAINTED, yeahhhh! Thanks soooo much!

I love the list, I read all 99 and could just see your personality pop right off the page.

Always, Sarah

99 lines to express the real You
99 lines each false or true
99 lines to say "this is me"
99 lines to let us all see
99 lines beginning at March
99 lines devoid of starch
99 lines without inanity
99 lines -line 45 a bubble of sanity
99 lines and I marvel by now
99 lines telling 'when', 'why' & 'how'
99 lines of wisdom set out
99 lines -line 13 I shout
99 lines and my admiration grows
99 lines for the wit and the humour
99 lines that steadily flows
99 lines -line 84 stopped me a moment
99 lines like some sort of door
99 line but I carried on reading, eager for more
99 lines -line 90 rings true
99 lines and strengthens my own admiration for you
99 lines that sure is plenty
99 lines (I only wrote 2 more than 20) :smile:


Wonderful reading your list jon,
LOve & respect
Lokutus

true.
i think knew most all of them. but i didn't know you didn't like dogs. sometimes my cat is pushy, too. especially when she wants to be petted. :smile: and which fight with which best friend? #15 was funny--like father like daughter. but i never tried a cigarette either, so there. ha.
i love and miss you.
