I've just read 3 Johanna Lyndsay's Westerns Chase & Jessie's, Colt's & Jocelyn's and Angel & Cassie's it was great to revisit with them especially as I had never read Chase and Jessie's before which was the first one.

I'm currently reading the gas prices at the pump. They are $3.99 for the cheapest in Indy. That makes the two higher grades at probably $4.10 and $4.22. How much is everyone else paying?

Jeanne we are paying up to £1.50 per litre that's about 75c in your money it's outrageous!

Wow, that's about $5.60 a gallon, I think. I wish I had a key that had your money sign. The little pound thing for money. That is cool. I don't know why but I wish I had it.

Okay while holding the alt key down, type in these numbers one at a time 0163 in succession. After you do that then lift up on the alt key and the sign will come up. But use the keys on the numeric pad and not below the function keys. One website didn't tell me to do this and finally I found a website that said use the numeric pad and voila, success!!! Let me try one more time.

£ ha ha it works. There were other ways to do it but being dim-witted, I couldn't figure out the other directions. I just figured since Andrea had the American dollar sign on her keyboard then there had to be a way to do it on mine. Now, to figure out accents in different languages. There has to be an easier way for sure. I mean something on your desktop to change from one language to another. Like it would be nice to be able to put the accents and funny marks they use in portuguese. Sometimes I write the little portuguese that I know to relatives and I sure wish I had the accents or whatever they are called.

Cool!!

£ I had to do it again. Thanks Jeanne.

I hope you can find the accent marks for your Portugese. Your relatives will be excited to see it.

I'm on the othe computer and can't get it to work. Crying or Very sad

£ never mind, my Num lock key was off. Also in the control panel there is an option to change your keyboard under Regional and Language options. I changed it to British and portuguese but it didn't work. I'll have to mess with it later.
