And hugs back! I'm afraid no relative will leave us any cash unless we take it forcefully. Haha A few things have changed since you and Jess left. For example, now you can see actual smilies on status comments, of course not big or fanciful, but it's better than seeing colons and parentheses all the time. Far better than nothing! Anyway, Facebook still won't allow me to use my assorted smiley collection, so I'd better stick around Lit Net for that purpose

Love you and Jess!
