About me

Message to me should be sent to mimismum(at)myopera.com. Why? Because

Don't call me, Mimi, please
I've been known on the net as mimi_s_mum or Mimi's Mum since 1998. So please call me Mimi's Mum, or MM for short. Please don't call me Mimi, because Mimi is the name of the cat I used to have when I started surfin' the net
