Hello All! So glad to be back online again.... I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back to you any of y'all sooner, due to a major Pacific Bell Telephone outage here in Northern CA due to the BART Expansion Project , I've been without a phone line/computer/fax lines since Jun 26th. My lines just got up & running lastnight......27,000 people have been without phone usage since then and 10,000 of us are having crossline problems & unfortunately I'm one of those 10,000 people! The contractors for BART (Bay Area Regional Transit) who are known as Taibor-Saliba are the ones responsible for the dig & cut of the fibor-optics~ Anyway I'm sure glad to be home! I have over 1,000 e-mails that need to be opened now. Please be patient with me for I have much to do now. Bright Star & myself were up very late lastnight working on administrative tasks , she taught me so much~! THANKS BRIGHT STAR~! Your a blessing in disguise sis! Prior to the phone outage I had started a new project & didn't have the opportunity to get the results or wheels rolling, so now I have much to due and no time to do it barely~.....hehehe Thanks for all of your patience & understanding while I've been offline for these 10+ days....... *It looks like GRANNYS-PANTRY is doing quite well! Congradulations Alece~! ~Great job on your new list sister~ *I also see my cousin is interacting more with the list! Great posts Mike~! *Diana, great to see your getting feedback on the tribes & stuff connected to our Black Dutch ancestry! Wonderful job ~~~~~~~~! Bright Star, thanks for being the backbone while I was offline, & Alece, so glad to have you here as the "Gate Keeper~!" You are certainly the glue that binds the book of knowledge here~! Thanks to all of you for the wonderful posts and interests that have been posted, looks like the list is quite alive with more interaction! Blessings, Turtle/
