Well DriverJohn signed into yahoo so I thought I would say HI.

Well I get a message that it is not John.













It was his mother, Glad I simply said hi and not in my usual way. She also mentioned that she didn't know how to set a busy message for him. SO I walked ( typed) her through opening up the list and setting him as busy.

She asked if she knew me and she didn't. So I told her that I also drove a Bonneville.

He next comment was that John LOVES his Bonneville. Good words to hear.

So if DriverJohn reads this I just want to say that it was nice talking to your mother, LOL. Not what I expected when I said hi to you but it was fun.LOL.

So like I said, watch what you say when someone signs into Yahoo or msn and you think it is them, cause you may just get a surprise, LOL.


It was funny so I had to share.

Thankfully, the worst that will happen to me is that i'll end up talking to Matt'* friends...no one else uses his computer

I hope... :? I always start off my conversations pretty tame just to be sure

My daughter 14 soon to be 15 has (had) a very close friend whos mother has been going on AOL for quite some time being snoopy and possing as her daughter. My daughter is full of strong in your face principles like me so she told all the others to be careful and what this one girls mother was doing. Caused quite a stir with the kids and of course my daughter is on the * list with her life time friend and mother. Thing is as usually who was doing the WRONG thing , my daughter or this girls mother ? Shoot the messenger ! Its the human way

Lilpooky plays games with some of you guys sometimes on YM. Trying to make you think you're talking to me

We're gonna meet driverjohns Dad. Both of them are coming down for the West Meet. Looking forward to it. The whole family seems like really cool people.
