Ok, why not? Even though a couple of people already have it… Stasia747 Just let me know who you are if you see me online. I’ve had a few bad experiences just saying “yes” to people on IMs, so I’m a LOT more cautious now. (And no promises that I’ll even BE there when you IM… sometimes I forget and leave it on when I head to bed or to work. _sheepish grin_ ) ---

Can find me either @ **sk8rixtx** or **ImpulseD08**. I used to be Mst3000. Damn I miss that username. So many people a day talking to me, trying to persuade me to change it so they could have it. I was like “Nah, see.” ---

I’ve got a non-name-related AOL name. PesachBeagle. (It’s a play on Easter Beagle, sort of. Well, it seemed cute at the time) If you do IM me, please identify yourself, as I get skittish about accepting IMs from people I don’t know. Robin ---

**UncleBill** is **UncleBill35** on AIM (UncleBill34 was taken but I’ll be 35 soon enough). On Yahoo I am **brothacanuspareadime**. It would easier to cut and paste that last one. I am there sometimes in the evenings. ---
