I have just got back in to this echo after not being here for about a year. It probably wouldn't have been to memorable to most of you though . A new years resolution I have is to b_e able to read this echo regularly . So I decided instead of beating around the bush I'd write a message telling a littlke about me. I am totally blind and have been from birth but probably break the record for the youngest participant in the echo being only in year 9 at high school. Can't exactly say I have any friends at school BTW the school is a normal high school> but it isn't from lack of trying. My attitude to getting on with those of my own age is be polite but not try too hard. I found it too hard to be trying to make friends with everyone and getting nothing back. As it is now I am an active participant in quite a few boards here in Australia and as a result have quite a few friends round here who are in the habbits of going out to BBS events with each other ranging from BBQs Zoo trips and movies and others. I use a erueka as my computer both at school and at home. And it's served me well. As for the weather well don't complain about the cold when talking to me would you mind sending some of your cold weather to this side of the world please we need it desperately. Itr must be easily 37 degrees celsius maybe not now but that would have been about the temperature today and that's the normal temperature . Oh well you can take this hot weather if you likie. The only reason I like it is that it enables us to go on more BBS outings . Oh well I'll leave it at that cause I know the volume of this echo is enough as it is Seeya Yvonne -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!3!714!902!Yvonne.Smith Internet: Yvonne.Smith@f902.n714.z3.fidonet.org
