Yes, I do love outdoors and dogs. <BR/><BR/>Even though I have a facebook account, I find it very complex.

I think it has changed a lot since then, scrapping was shockingly public - like you could read anybody's plans to meet, eat, call, bunk classes etc <BR/>Once a friend and I were sitting at my place (pre-blogging era)and she said her son had an Orkut account and the laptop was right there, so I showed her his page(or whatever it is called) and she was shocked to read in his scraps his plans for a movie that day :) He was supposed to be in college!Indian Home Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649133480442907582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206447838093538416.post-78744669967351740472008-12-11T10:11:00.000-08:002008-12-11T10:11:00.000-08:00Hi Reema,Thanks so much!
