good morning from Scotland...it's 08:05...
I'm just off to work after two weeks off. I've been a member for ages and ages but haven't had the confidence to post until the last couple of weeks. Now I'm addicted...sigh...well at least it's fun and I learn something new every time I come here.

Must avoid the temptation to muck around with the registry on my office 'puter to foil the monitoring software, just so I can go onto the DU.

Wonder what disasters are waiting for me in the in-tray?

8. Hi McKenzie
I have a craving to visit Scotland. Maybe one day.... sigh! And maybe I wouldn't leave.... sigh again. :D :hi:

(I dunno why I feel so strongly, maybe a past life there? I just have such a deep feeling for it)

10. Aren't you suppose to have an A in your name?
:D

What part of Scotland? How is the haggis? Have you seen the Nessy lately?

Are you related to the Campbell Clan? What color is your tartan?

19. lol...no I don't have an "A" in my name...
the haggis is lovely, I don't believe in Nessie though she's good for the tourist industry, I lasted two hours before checking in and my clan tartan is mostly red though the hunting variety contains blues and brown.

23. don't want to say out here...sorry for the paranoia
I'm in a very nice wee town that is about 850 years old. I drive 10 miles and there are more sheep and deer than people. Just love it. As for the heritage bit, many of you people are descended from Scottish forebears.

I know I'm partisan but this is a lovely place to live. Please visit us; you'll receive a warm welcome.

yours aye

McKenzie
