Auntie Vivian's account got hacked - yikes! She seems adept at using emoticons, which is pretty good for her Internet literacy! (used one to convey being sad and angry at the same time!) Teunis says that he's seen TO WONG FOO (THANKS FOR EVERYTHING - JULIE NEWMAR) [in a redneck theater], but not ZOOLANDER... too bad that he doesn't understand why I find Frankie Goes To Hollywood's RELAX so amusing! I must be getting better since now I think it's too warm in here as per the usual.
