Thanks for the compliment on my profile. :) 

My own thought, is much less Victorian, staid, British, stiff-upper-lip, and all that rot --

Hey, nice new profile pic - you look less professional/English and more casual/American, :D

Thanks for the invite! 

Hey there Straga, thanks for the invite :)

Thanks for the invite, Strega!

Loved our talk and new list of stuff to learn. :)

Thanks, I often tend to go overboard, so I need my friends :-)

Well, luv, I think we have a few dozen things in common, but, I didn't feel all that wooed by your friend request.  I accepted because your coolness was really undeniable, but, next time, I want.  Um, some words at least.  I think I rate words...  *fist shake*   My need for dramatics (mostly unfounded) aside, nice to meet ya.  We really do seem to be on the same level on a lot of topics.  Perhaps since we've both done the US/UK straddle...

Strega,

Don't forget to give your pooch a bowl of warm tea after 'torpedoing' through that sea of snow! lol 

Hi there, thanks for adding me as a friend. I enjoy your well created and clear thoughts and think you are a voice of reason among some silly people that bounce around on this site sometimes. Take care, friend. :)

...every day I look forward to what Strega has to say !

Hey thanks for the request!  I love your posts, very insightful and amusing!

Thanks for the add! I thought we were already friends on here, :D

Next time you are sipping some coffee and want to waste a few minutes this link might amuse. Hope you like it. The Big Bang video is great.

Thanks Strega, same to you. I just joined a little while ago but I am thoroughly enjoying your posts and so many others. Cheers!
