Marina - 26 Jun 2005 17:52 GMT
We met! Christine K and I met in town today. I handed over the feline
mystery books to her, and we went for a nice ice cream and nattered
about our cats. As you may be able to tell from the photo, it's hot (for
us) in Helsinki today. The same photo is in the Catslaves 'We met' folder.

Sounds fun! I'll trade our 90 degree plus weather. Ugh.

The subject line sure sounds "posh" for a couple of ladies having ice
cream and talking about cats. :) But it was nice to meet Marina, who is
a calm and quiet person, whereas I am more "bubbly" IRL, especially with
new people, when I put my "job face" on to hide my deep down shyness.
Marina was lucky I didn't start selling her anything... LOL

Sounds great. It was around 100f here yesterday, which is very unusual for
Massachusetts.

Eager to see what my favorite Finns look like, I went to your photos - what
I could see briefly: two pretty ladies, no cats - but this obnoxious ad
keeps slapping itself right over Marina's face (!) and I can't drag it off
her. Can you do anything about the ad so I can see you, Marina? I am
grateful that unlike a lot of this Yahoo stuff, I don't have to "register"
w/anything to see your pics.
Note: the tiny pic (which I can't see well) is clear, it's the enlarged pic
that the ad covers Marina up.

you'd like me to.

I also added the pic into my Webshots account. Created a new album for
People. The addy to my Webshots pics is in my sig, just choose the album
People to see us.
I also had probs with Marina's Yahoo album, it shifted the photo so that
Marina's face was hidden under an ad.

Which browser do you use? I use Firefox
(http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/central.html), which has an
add-on called Ad Block that enables me to right-click and block all
kinds of ads. :) I highly recommend it!

Bless you, Victor...looks like you've forgiven me for my "blue suedeshoes"
lapse....after fooling w/this right-click
Mozilla ad-business, I finally got rid of the ad on Marina's face....to
reveal two pretty ladies! I had no idea
(don't like reading tutorials) of this feature; geek son told me IE is crap
afa firewalls, so here I am w/a browser I don't understand much, 3
firewalls, 2 virus-sniffers, 2 pop-up killers, spyware sniffers, and 2
spam-erasers...
safer but way dumber, duh. Thanks again, Victor.

It is around 30C here. I dreaded my long bus ride to Petsmart tomorrow.

Yeah, you both look a bit blushed because of the heat. :)  Christine
looks very different than what I imagined, I guess my idea of what
Finnish people look like needs to be adjusted... ;-)

Victor in Austin, Texas, where the temperature is 93F (34C) with 40%
humidity and not a cloud in the sky. The forecast calls for 100F (38C)
by Tuesday....

We're not all blonde and blue-eyed. Besides, reddish hair can be
"assisted" too (= I dye my hair, so there, I said it!). And another
"besides", I'm not all Finnish, only half. My dad's German-Russian.

Sounds almost the same as here!  It's not even 10 am and it's 32C
outside already.  The humidity is much higher than 40% though,
probably over 80%.  There are black bottomed towering cumulous
building towards the west.  But all in all, it's an ususually cool day
and I haven't even turned on the aircon yet and the fan aimed at me is
only on 1.  So far so good :-)

Kewl, I'm jealous!  I really like your short hair, Marina :-)
