Hello Mary! You don't post often, or I've missed your comments. Either way, a belated welcome to your own special place on the site. My traditional page warming gift is a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry, so I hope you like sweet pastry. Cheers!

Gday Mary, I was just passing, thought I'd drop in.
Had a look through your photos, lovely looking grandies. Is it Lily's family who live in Adelaide? That's very close to my old stomping grounds.
Catch you soon in chat,
Take care,
Gail

Hi Mary
Just starting to catch onto all this,
and how it all works,
went out to lunch with Gail today and it seems we joined around the same time,
WELCOME and sorry I dont have no flowers or anything like that and its only cause I dont know how to do that,
hope to catch up soon in the chat room Liz

Mary, I have been overwhelmed by the kindness shown to me for my birthday. It really does make your day to find well wishers from all over the world have visited with such greetings.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

Hey Mary, must have missed your posts about the molescan, glad to hear you have good results. Looking forward to meeting you on Wednesday!

Hi Mary, 40 posts to a page. Check the top of the page to see how many posts there are then add yours to it.

Hi Mary, it was good to catch up with you on Wednesday, we'll have to do it again soon.

MARY, seems I never got around to welcoming you to sudokuland! the newbies names do not stay up long sometimes, if someone joins right after ya, the luck of the draw I imagine.

anyhow, you now have a choice to make. What type chair to you like? I have snagged a few interesting graphics and your choices are . . .

a red traditional recliner
a wine, leather I think, wing chair
A bright blue modern tub chair
Modern red egg chair
a pinky red modern chair with foot stool

I think any of these would make a nice flash avatar, easy to see and recognize hehehe

let me know what your taste runs.

Hi Mary, I'm not sure what you mean by 'as Cathy has done for you' I personalised my own page. To get the smilies of cakes, balloons etc you need to google images of whatever you want then save them and resize them before submitting to Gath for approval. You submit them on your 'update details' page. The smilies don't have to be 50 x 50 (like the avatars) but they need to be under 3kb in size and in jpg format.
here's one I thought you'd like, we'll need it soon.

Hi Mary, sorry I misunderstood what you meant. If you go to google, then click on images, and type in what you want to look for eg birthday cakes, when you find one you like, save it ( I save mine in 'my documents') you then need to resize the picture as they have to be under 3kb in size (I use Paint to resize) then you submit to Gath. You can use any pictures for smilies as long as they fit the size limitations. Would you like me to find some for you?

Hey Mary, seems I havent visited before.. will leave you a vase of my yellow nasturtiums from my garden

on SA you said your MIL is turning 89 in August.. What Date?? my mum is turning 89 in August as well, on the 25th.

Heavens Mary, how remiss of me...haven't dropped by to officially you to your own page.
Its good to see you settling in and posting regularly.. that is how you get to know everybody and have the most fun.
for dropping in on my birthday.
Catch you later no doubt in chat or SA4.

Mary, I have sent you a private message the other day, did you get it?

oh should read first.. not a private message, seems I left it on this page. above Bean.. oops

Dear Mary,
Thank you for your support while I have been ill. I never expected such a response from this site, everyone’s concern and caring has overwhelmed me. I can only say that it is the genuine people here who make this a very unique place to share our hopes, dreams, ups and downs. So thank you for being there.
