I am 50 years old. A couple of years ago, I ran into my college
sweetheart on the internet. I was a bad boy in college and she broke
up with me. We had not seen each other for 25 years. On encountering
her, I immediately went crazy - I mean REALLY crazy.
I started having wild, vivid dreams that we would get back together. I
started sending her your ASCII art pictures along with my email
communications - chosen to illustrate something we were talking about.
Part of the problem was to resolve some of the things that happened
between us many years ago. After a while, she agreed to meet with me.
Today we are alive and living together. We have been together for 15
months. Neither she nor I have ever in our lives had the experience of
a loving relationship. The poor girl told me recently that, before me,
she had never had a massage. I won't go into the insanity that has
been my life for the last quarter century.
Geez. I am starting to cry.
I want to thank you all for your work. You can never know what a
difference you have made in our otherwise very difficult lives. I
could not have reached her without your help.

That turned out good don't you think ?
I especially like the tiny two line hearts .. They were heart to do.
I went trough a lot of different sketches for different heart before i
choose theese two.
Here they are for you're pleasure .. See if you can diddle them better or
use them as is.

big though to fit in nicely

miniheart i used in the sig
Here's how the sig would look with theese heart instead :

Hey, Ray, I remember you...
I did your sig Lightening bolt, as well... I think....
And a couple piggy-backing that was sig-sized, if I remember...
Do you still have that piccy... If you do, please re-post it...
If you are still not sure who I am...

I don't have the mini-piggy-back. I have some variations on the lightning bolt thing on file. This is the simplest. `. \ _`. \ `. _\ `.\ `\ Roy
