Paul is Gone to Texas

Hi again everyone!

No one can accuse me of blathering on or never being quiet now can they?

Paul and one of his sons were off to Texas for the DC Comics RRP meeting. They decided to do it as a car trip instead of flying. Yesterday it was 80 degrees. Lucky bums!

I know that they have seen the Alamo and Graceland and that they picked up a lot of new information on up and coming projects. If Paul shares his information with me, and I am sure he will, I will try to include some of it on the site.

A few hours ago they called from the Cleveland, Ohio region on their way back so I gather they will hit Montreal late tomorrow or early on Wed. depending on the weather.

Drive safely guys!

More later folks

Great Job!

It is always great to hear about people helping people! Our customer who was doing the fund raiser blogathon for the Children's Hospital raised over $1400 by himself in one day! Next year he will do even better (he already said he will be doing it again)and, if he sends me the info a bit earlier, I can help him get more sponsors too!

Great job sir - do it again! I just love our customers...

GOOD JOB!!

Let's help out a fund raiser !

Hi again everyone!
This week I got an email from one of our customers who is doing a great fundraiser for the Children's Hospital. Here is what he wrote

"Hello Paul & Betty,

In a bit of a plug, I'm participating in the Blogathon on July 28th. I'll be reviewing and writing about comics for 24 hours to raise money for the Children's Hospital. Here are the details (http://www.chirographum.com/weblog/?p=3023) . I thought it might warrant a mention on Betty's blog or Paul's blog. Or not. It's all up to them.

Anyway, see you at the store!
cheers"

Paul's is not really a blog so here we go with mine. I hope he gets some support from this as it is a really good cause! Also some of you might find it interesting to pop over and see what he is writing since it will all be comic related too!

Good luck Steve!

My new pet

Hi Everyone
You have all been very very patient although lately I have had a few comments about "not having anything to say" so I thought I would share my new addition to the household.
Her foster parent called her Chloe but I am looking for a new name for her. She is a really really nice lady and needs a name. (I am keeping her). Paul suggested Jimmy (Durante) which I think was mean. Anyone have any ideas please? By the way - she is 8 years old and has lovely manners. I got her from a shelter a week ago and she has already made friends with my 2 cats and most of the dogs in the neighborhood.

I'm Back!!

Hi Everyone
I am sorry for the big gap but I unexpectedly moved from the place where I had been living for about 15 years.
I am a person who accumulates STUFF. LOTS and lots of stuff. My furniture could easily have fit into one or two rooms. My Stuff took 4 rooms.
I'm still settling in but it is getting better now and I am starting to pick up the strings again.

If you have been checking out our website you will have seen that that has been going along quite smoothly and Paul has even contributed a few more ramblings in Motormouth-always a treat to read. You could always email him at the store if you have anything to comment on - not good to let him think he is always right you know!

NOW-I have a great big thank you to my computer guru Dr. Dan. Part of the site is our books that we sell on line. More and more people have been going to this on a regular basis and browsing through it has been somewhat cumbersome at times. Well today Dr. Dan added a program so that browsers could sort on whichever column they wanted - author, title, etc.
Thank you very very much Dan.

More soon and thanks for reading this everyone!
-Betty-

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Hi Everyone and welcome back to Betty's very very slooooow Bytes. I think I am just not the chatty one in the group!

Anyways at least I get a chance to with you all a very Merry Christmas and I hope you all have a lovely holiday! In our family it is tradition for us to go over to Paul's house and try to beat him at Risk. I usually just try to stay in the game and the others gang up on each other. I actually won the year before last which royally ticked everyone off!

Enough gab. Have fun, don't drink too much and give yourselves a big big hug for me.

Oh yes...and for those who are politically correct...HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
