Hi Teub!

Sorry for the delay in responding. I've been quite busy in the game of late and haven't been able to get to this Wiki much. I'm finally at a point where I can another new friend (I like keeping my list down to no more than 50 total). Though I don't usually like to add multiple game friends who are the same person - I had a bad experience once with that - I'm willing to give it a try again. But I tried your code and it has already expired. So here's my code: 8PQEXW. I look forward to seeing DoppelT in game.

You're very welcome for all the CEs. Slow and steady like the tortoise...that's me. 😉 CEs in my WL is all I really need at the moment. Though any desktop awards or pics you want to charge would also be welcome, particularly those pics with gold frames - I'm trying to get all my pics to purple at the moment. 😊

I'm in GA now but grew up in MA in and around Boston. I was living about 25 miles outside Boston during the Blizzard of '78. The snow drifts were at least 3-4 feet - higher in some places. In those days, spring break was in February and the timing was right for us school kids to be out the one week but then the storm lasted longer and we had to be out a second week as well. I remember being bummed about the school year being extended longer that summer. 😉 But I also remember, while we were all still snowed in because the roads weren't cleared yet, taking a family outing - on foot with an old fashioned sled and the dog - about a half mile (seemed a lot longer at the time) down the road to the grocery store when it final reopened. And I also remember Boston shut down when it started and the police and the military weren't letting anyone in or out of the city. My dad got out just in time and rescued an old guy, who was stranded and trapped in his car, on his way home. That guy stayed with us the whole 2 weeks and we were friends with him and his wife (who was at home alone the whole time) for the rest of their lives. The storm was full of stories like that. I imagine you have a few of your own too. 😉
