Hey Linz, there isn't anything on the reviews page, but i went to NorthPole.com, very cool, I even got a little hooked to "Bud's Swap Puzzle"! I need to show it to Tristen, she will love it!

Sorry to jump in again, but Lindsey's note is and was on the Reviews page. If you're not seeing it, it's because your browser (Netscape or whatever) is reading an earlier version of the page it had stored on your computer. Try reloading the page -- with Netscape, hold down the shift key and click Reload -- and you'll get the most current version of the page. --Gary

Hey, go to "Reviews" and check out my review on Northpole.com. It is really cool. I found it out from my computer teacher at school. Have Fun!

"We're simply having a wonderful Christmas time," does that sound like something???? I'm trying here!

Amanda
12/21/2000
The Beatles Christmas pages didn't help too much, I know the lines "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" are in there, if that helps?????

The song "Christmas Bells Are Ringing" has "ding dong, ding dong" in it; but I don't know if that's your song. I'm out of ideas. Anybody else? --Gary

Emily

Today was our 1st day of Christmas Break and we went shopping I got a blue jacket and some really cool hair clips Erika got some jeans with these weird butterflies on them Bye 8)

Amanda

We need help! We have the tip of the tongue syndrome going on! What is the popular Christmas song by the beatles that you always hear piped into the stores??????

Amanda-- I'm not sure what song you're talking about; maybe "Happy Christmas"? The Beatles recorded special Christmas records for their fans every year ("extended-play 45s," for those of you old enough to know what a 45 was...), and that song was included on several of them, I think. Go here and here for info on their Christmas records. --Gary

I heard about the Tristen accident. Well, I guess I won't be telling her any secrets!

Amanda
12/18/2000
Remember the red nose dilema with Tristen? "Will it turn peach again?" Well, EVERYTIME she goes outside now and comes back in she runs right to the mirror to check out the color, and quietly she confirms it with herself, "it will turn peach again."

Lindsey

Hey, guess what I got for my birthday.......... a Digital Camera!!!!!!!! It is soooooo coooool! I love it. I use it a lot. I've been taking pictures of the snow and of Livey and me. I've been trying to get pictures of Ceaser, but he just won't hold still. Anyway, I can't believe I got it. My Grandma and Grandpa Megrue got it for me and Sean said he would give me a copy of his art program to use for it. So, maybe I can start E-mailing pictures to everybody. Hopefully, but I think it will work. Well, G2G, bye!

Lindsey

Nice speech Sean! So, how do you like your new speech-recognition thing?

Sean
12/14/2000
Amanda got the following from Sean. Sean got a speech-recognition program (you speak into a microphone, and the program types what you are saying on the screen), and this is how it interpreted one of his early sessions. It sounds kinda like Tristen's note! :-)

ER -- Dr. Green's fiancee, Dr. Corday, is pregnant, and he just found out he has a brain tumor & it is inoperable and he only has 8 weeks to live, maybe 6 months if he undergoes chemo, but he has to quit being a doctor ASAP! It was heart wrenching!

Lindsey

We had a snowday today and it was fun except me and Olivia had a snowball fight and instead of hitting me she ran into me and knocked me over HARD! Then of course she had to FALL ON TOP OF ME! It really hurt hard! G2G Bye!

Donna
12/11/2000
Amanda-what happened on ER? I don't watch it anymore, but I'm curious. I was one of the fortunate few that stayed home today. I worked from home-but not very hard. I tried shoveling the snow twice, but it just keeps blowing over. I have huge snowdrifts in my back yard-one blocking my back door. How soon til Spring?

Merry Christmas, ho ho ho! Just like Rudolph. Umm. Clowns that hurt their selves & bite. Ummm. Trees don't fight & trees like kids, people, dads & the computer food. And trees like kids, moms, dads, people and trash cans, yup. Daddy has a saxophone in the umm... what is this called again? Mom? A case for saxophone stuff for my dad when he was born. Umm.... People click food, yeah that's funny. And people click CD's. Zoe just click her kitty litter. And zoe clicked her tail. Umm... You just clicked your coffee. Umm... Charlie Browns Christmas cookies.

Hey, is there a feud brewing between Linz and Emily on the newsletter page? Stay tuned in for the next, uh -- news?? I agree with Karen, I really like the Advent calendar. I'm also sort of addicted to the webcams too.

Karen
