Friends of Bearz

Since I went online in November 1998 I have followed the traditional path of being a 'newbie', visiting the Chat Rooms and from there I met a few folks and in the Spring of 1999 I discovered Newsgroups.

At first I was a subscriber to the MSN Chat Servers and migrated to the MSN News Servers where I continued my acquaintiship with the chat friends I had made. I then migrated to the old 40's group where I discovered a whole new world of friendship, support and caring.I also discovered how making Stationery could be a whole lot of fun and it is to some of these folks (some still there and some who've moved on) that I have a great deal of respect and care.My first faltering steps in making stationery were inept and inexerienced but I always got a great deal of support and warm compliments for my efforts and this continued well into the Autumn of 1999.

Since then I have moved on again and with the demise of MSN's support for Public Newsgroups, I and many others have had to find new homes and as part of the process I have elected to concentrate more on making Stationery and the methods and tools used.

My 40's Friend's			This newsgroup has been through the mill a few times but is a tremendous source of fun, jokes, stationery, and provides a warm welcome to folks new to Newsgroups.

Joane			Joane is my best friend on the web. I remember 'meeting' her in the old MSN Chatrooms and together we have discovered a mutual pleasure in making stationery. I am her biggest fan and had the pleasure and delight to meet her in real life when she visited London in the Autumn of 1999

This list is just the beginning as I have very many people whom I've met on the web who I want to know are important to me. Click here to see some of the Stationery Sites which my friend's have set up and which can provide hours of fun and entertainment, advice, help and add-ons for PaintShop Pro.
