Telling us if you’re male or female could help with suggestions. ---

**x-ray** , after you said that, I checked out **Mustangs** ’s home page. It had exceeded its bandwidth limit, looks like I wasn’t the only curios doper. And **Mustang** ,if I may call you that, do something you enjoy, with people you like. ---

Yes, she’s a cutie, alright, **Gartog**. Too bad I’m 38. 😃_sigh_. Oh well. And on a side note, **Mustang** you could save a LOT of bandwidth by reducing the color-depth and resolution of those photos. There’s no need to have a photo with 16 million colors for web browsers that only support 128 or 256. 🙂 ---

I believe Geocities has a forgotten password retrieval system. I don’t use them, because they’re a terrible free webhost. If you’re interested, there’s better ones I can tell you about. ---

Oops. Heh. Well, try [spaceports.com](http://spaceports.com). They’re a lot faster, and allow Perl CGI, PHP, and MySQL, so yu can run a chat client, message board or whatever on there. ---

> [@](#): > > _said QED_ > Yes, she’s a cutie, alright, Gartog. Too bad I’m 38. _sigh_. Oh well. I wouldn’t know, I still haven’t been able to look at the photos 🙂 I suppose I’ll have to take your word for it. **Mustang** The traditional way to celebrate one’s nineteenth over here would probably involve copious amounts of alcohol. But I’m guessing in the US, and therefore still too young to drink. So Birthday ideas for a female, who’s not aloud to drink. Shopping? I’m not say shopping for what, because then I really could be accused of conforming to gender stereotypes, or something. What I’m envisioning is a day out with friends, getting some lunch at somewhere nice and looking at lots of things you can’t afford Of course, I may have just described your typical day in which case some more radical suggestions. Paint ball Quad biking Day at a spa Swimming with dolphins, House/Dinner party bouncy castle, fun for all ages! 😃 Trip to a theme park, eat lots of ice cream, go on big scary ride and then throw up! The main thing is to spend the time surrounded by friends. ---
