What follows is just the*beginning* of a long list of people that have helped me along the way. If I have inadvertantly missed someone, please forgive me. This page would be miles long if I wrote down special comments about all my friends here. I will just have to keep being *mushy* about my feelings to those people directly. =) I also know I don't have everyones' homepages linked here so you might want to peek in at Channel Chatter's "Who's Who" to find even more homepages.

In looking carefully at this list, I no longer have much, if anything, to do with a few of these people. However, these few have have taught me some very harsh, but valuable lessons. Thank you ALL for being there for me, to give me a hug, to help me learn more about myself or more about the darker sides of human nature, to answer a question (or many : >), to teach me 'puter magic, or to make me FOFLMTO!! (fall on the floor laughing my *tush* off)

Fangdoc is my biological brother and new friend in this Internet Community. He is ultimately responsible for getting us online first with Prodogy 6 yrs ago. Blame HIM! *grin*

Wendy is my cousin. She is really making a splash in Washington DC with web services and sales. She has come a long way from AOL!

SALINE is an incredible and close friend that adds wit and charm to the world and MY life in specific! My *chosen* cousin that couldn't feel more like family to me if I couldn't *choose* =) She has recently written a delightful and useful book called:

CHRISTUNA is another dear friend and deserves much credit for ALL that he does for others and for /MSGs from the 40's. He is responsible for most of the great graphics on my page. I call him "Mr. Magic" for a reason! =) He is perhaps one of the busiest people I know yet he still puts in amazing long hours for charity and to make sure the cyberzine is the best w*rk possible each and every month. Check out his site if you haven't already done so.

TWICESHY puts in long hours as a single mom who also w*rks full time, volunteers for her church and finds time to sing. She also w*rks her tail off for /MSGs from the 40's and has for way over a year now.

FLEEP has been a true friend to /MSGs. He tidies up all our speeeeling/type o's and grammer indiscretions. His page is fun and that gif is worth its weight in smelt. =)
