Oh my, looks like I need to check in a little more often! Thanks for more welcomes, you sure are a friendly group! I don't get the sausages remark, either. Anyway, I post on several forums and some of the folks I am chimmy with call me LBH for short, but, boy, I loved the other "translations," especially the "late, but hungover" one - that's really me. As for the username, not really a story to go with it; I'm Linda, he's Bob and the word Hat is prominent in our last name; and it's always me doing the posting. If he's online, he's working, the poor man - he hasn't learned to enjoy the computer. Des Plaines (which gets a pretty American pronunciation around here) is a suburb of Chicago. My fascination with the board stems from 2 fairly recent trips to the Panhandle - first to PCB and then to Destin. Next time we hope to "get it right" and stay somewhere in between!
