Hi Charles and all, I want to thank you for the links you found for me first though I haven't found time to browse them yet!
I feel sad,too knowing that I made you feel sad...:( Please don't be! 'Unique' or 'special' aren't exactly the words I usually use to describe people I meet. For your information once more,I seldom give compliments to others as I am actually quite strict and stingy when it comes to praising... Let's just say it's a fatal weakness of most Capricorns!LOL BTW,Serdar,a promise is a promise!;) I'm still waiting!LOL Anyway,nice weekend to you all!
