ew... I'm telling! You boys are talking about ISP carriers, taxes and other
things that are not darkroom related! TROUBLE... you are all going to be
in... t r o u b l e !   Just as soon as I figure out who to tell.

Since we are off topic anyway, can I just say that I love your name, Bob

been "Kissed"!  Today I was "Kissed" a lot! Bob Kissed, that is.

Yours, closer to having the darkroom up and running,

Becky Lynn, the Peeper.

geez, I must be overly tired tonight to actually be sending this email.....
but here goes.
