Hi all,

I've been reading you guys for quite a while now, and I thought I'd better register if I ever have something to say

My name's anso, I'm 28 and I'm the proud friend and keeper of Hokie (short for Hokewingla, a turtle-spirit living on the moon in the Dakota mythology – I know they say it's a turtle-spirit but since there's no water on the moon it can only be a tortoise, right

– an 8-month old wonderfully cute THB.

You all seem awfully nice and helpful to newbies like myself and I look forward to read you further.

Desdemona

Hello and welcome to the forum.

It would be lovely to se a picture of your little shelled warrior in the pictures section!

Great name you have for him / her.

WELCOME !!!!!!!

Thanks Ade

I' ll upload pictures of Hokie but I'm waiting for my brand new adsl connexion. My former provider folded overnight and I've been forced to use a ******* dialup connexion for nearly a month now. It would be a nightmare to upload at 46 K/s.

And thanks for your welcome message Tank

I know what you mean about dial up, I lost my broadband for 2 weeks only 1 month after having it. It felt like the computer was working in reverse it was so slow.

Thats another reason why we encourage pictures to be posted in pictures section because we have members still on dial up and this bogs them down especially if they are looking for information.

Pictures are ok in a post if it has relevence to the subject / discussion.
