And Billy Crystal! 'Soap' was a great show! Someone told me that they show reruns on Comedy Central. Wow. I've got to catch them sometime. Also, it's ok if you used to watch too much TV. I got all of that out of my system, and now I work so much that I don't have time for TV anyway, aside from sports and Dharma & Greg (never miss it) Oh, and the Simpsons, too, but that goes without saying. I think that watching so much tv as a kid keeps me from doing it now, when I have actual things to accomplish, so it was good in a way that I fried my brain young. > > Luv -n- Hugs, > Krystal, the angel with gossamer wings > > ___________________________________________________________________ > You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail. > Get completely free e-mail from Juno at http://www.juno.com/getjuno.html > or call Juno at (800) 654-JUNO [654-5866] ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Oct 1998 10:32:35 -0500 From: "Kevin Pease" Subject: Re: [Re: [ET: Fwd: FW: Born in the 80's-PLEASE READ]] >> Ben writes: >You know, the sad thing is that I truly understood EVERY ONE of those >references.

I hope it will seem interesting enough to you to make you want to participate. Email messages fly to and fro, all over the world. Lots of jokes, cute sayings, etc. seem to take on a life of their own as they get forwarded to more and more email addresses. I've often thought that it is too bad we can't see where these well-traveled messages have been. I'll bet we'd be amazed at the list of addresses some have visited. There is a way to find out.Just add your first name, location, date and maybe a very short comment to the bottom of this message and send it out to your list of email friends.Eventually it may return to you. If it does, you'll be able to see all the places it has been since it first left your computer. (Cut and paste-keep it tidy.) 1.
