I always enjoy reading your comments. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I agree with you about the electronic records and to tell you the truth I am not sure I like that everything is computerized these days. I think we've gotten too dependant on "new" technology for our own good. Interesting idea to put Martha into the witness protection program. It's too bad you're sick of her plot already, as you really haven't seen much of it so far. Believe me when I say that it will be going somewhere and will create some drama that will not only involve the Wades. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Oh yeah the electoral college. I really don't understand why the USA has insisted on keeping that old relic from the 1700s or such! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />You really need to get rid of that one so that whoever gets the most votes in the next election will become President. Right you are! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/girls/m04127.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":spinning:" title="Spinning    :spinning:" data-shortname=":spinning:" /><img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughinganimal_duck_lol_100-100.gif?w=125&h=150"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolling:" title="Rolling    :rolling:" data-shortname=":rolling:" />That is hilarious. Also who knows maybe it was Super Mario Bros who originally inspired us to chose the name of Mario... We did love to play video games when we were younger. But then again I don't think so, as I recall having a huge crossword puzzle dictionary that we borrowed from our mom. In it there were lists of mens names and womens names and surnames and well sometimes when we had a hard time deciding on a name we would open the book and one of us would move our fingers across the names and the other one would say "Stop" and that's how some of the names for the minor characters in this story were chosen! :lolo:Thank you it's good to be back. Also that's cool that your sister lives in Oakland. I almost visited it as I went to Berkley. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />But yeah I saw quite a bit of beautiful California. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />We started out in Los Angeles and then went down the coast to San Clemente and then we travelled back to Burbank and Malibu and then up the coast all the way to San Francisco. We made some stops along the way in Santa Barbara, Solvang, San Simeon (Hearst Castle), San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Monterey and around the Big Sur. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I'm glad to hear that. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  No we haven't made any deal, I just let him know that I wouldn't be able to keep up with his story while I was travelling and that it had nothing to do with the writing. But yeah I'm glad to hear that you've gotten lots of updates. Hopefully I will have time to catch up properly over the Christmas break. But yeah I'm glad you're looking forward to the new Donna plot in this story. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />It definitely won't fit in a stocking but it will be okay to put underneath the Christmas tree. I mean after all I don't have my wardrobe underneath the Christmas tree. See I had lots of clothes with me when I went to California so there wasn't much room for shopping to begin with! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Okay update will follow in the next post...</blockquote>
