Re: Windows ME anti-virus
My first wife is from Venezuela. I lived there for most of the five years we
were married and we have a daughter who now lives with me (she's 29.) My
fourth and current wife is Canadian, from the Yukon. We met in a Yahoo! Chat
room called Canaduh over ten years ago, courted for a year via ICQ before
finally meeting, and married four months later -- had to wait for her
divorce. I've been to B.C and the Yukon, but only to visit (and to move my
wife and her kids.)
Whereas my wife has seen nearly all 50 states (when she was young, she was a
carnie and then a long-haul truck driver), I've only been to a handful if
you don't count one long Greyhound trip from Seattle to Florida. In fact,
I've been to more foreign countries than U.S. states, *including* that bus
trip. My Dad was a captain for Pan Am, 747's. I got to fly for a nominal fee
($13) and took some advantage of that, though not as much as I should have.
My third wife and our two sons still live in Hawaii. I lived there for five
years in the 90's. I know that's not "foreign", but it *is* overseas, <g>. I
think that's the only state my current wife has never been to. Good thing,
too. Wouldn't want those two getting together to compare notes!
