:sst: "that was nice of you remco,to comment."
:mrgreen:" You sure looked good in that Cowboy outfit and Benno,shined in his."

designed to raise a smile or two in BEANO Comic, fashion."

:sst: "it is so easy to get smilies to talk."

:cowboy: " Yip! Pard! We sure do.",replied the insecure cowboy who always sleeps in his boots.
:sst: "well i never."
:coffee: " I`ll see you guys later__________ it`s time for my early morning cuppa tea. BB
