A little late - but hey, I've been studying hard!! :) But here goes....

Like Angie has said, her mum and her had come to Adelaide at a tragic and sad time with her uncle passing. I didn't like the idea of them staying at a hotel during their trip here. Things are already sad enough without having that environment to deal with. Anyways, I offer better service than any one of the hotels 'round Adelaide!!!

Selfish reasons were included here too though...*I* got to meet the woman I've been chatting with for what seems a life time.

When I picked them up from the cafe I drove, ok, so I hooned into the car park....(too excited and I forgot to slow down entering the car park...hehehehe)...got out my car and walked straight up to Angie and her Mum. I just knew it was them....ok, so the cases were a dead give away I know...but I still knew all the same.

Ya know the feeling of meeting someone and its like you know them already and its only been a couple of months since you've seen them? Well that's what it was like meeting Angie....and her Mum even.

We spent a few days together and even though it was during a sad time, it was great. I even got spoiled and was taken out for tea.

Angie is a loving, genuine and wonderful person and friend. We got to share laughs, smiles and even tears. She is also the most perfect house guest you could ask for and considering the house guests I have had....that says A LOT coming from me.

Unfortunately, uni also had to have my time as I still needed to attend classes. Something I was unable to get out of. I would have loved to have been there for Angie and her Mum for the funeral, just as support...that is the one regret I had/have.

Angie, you are a GREAT person and I love you to death! You were a total hit with my family and friends....Kim thought you were great too....and I'm so pleased you got to meet my rough around the edges mate....she is a hoot isn't she!?!

You were such a hit 'cause you are a genuine person. You are exactly how I thought you would be and I guess thats why we didn't feel like strangers.

I don't know if others feel the same way but - the Internet is a place where so many people are NOT who they really are. This is a place where we can re-invent ourselves and be who ever it is we want to be but aren't....and thats not a bad thing...not always....

Then every now and again, you meet people that are who they say they are, who are confident strong individuals that are just a total pleasure to be around....Angie, you are one of those people and thank you so much for being exactly who you are....

You know, minti has been a porthole for same wonderful friendships and I have been fortunate to have to have met two wonderful people now. Lightbee and Cookclan and I couldn't have asked for any better experiences!!

Thanks Minti for the making this possible and THANKS guys for being exactly who you are.....Great mates, Family and FANTASTIC human beings!

Love OB
