Volume 3 Number 4?

[kayser]

I received vol3 #4 today- have you guys received yours?? I haven't looked through it, but there looks to be some interesting articles!

[NMarti]

Nope - but then I usually get mine a month or more after everyone else. Now I can start counting the days....;)

[karen donnybrook]

Kay, it will probably be another week before it gets to Australia

[Wendy]

No sightings yet here in the UK :)

Wendy

[willpresley]

I don't usually look through all the mail -- but with this thread I had to know. It has arrived in North Liberty, IA. Drinks are on me.

[Wendy]

Hi Will ...

Its hot here this evening so a long cold white wine spritzer for me please :)

Wendy

[GaryK]

Oh wow..perfect timing:D

I had a few minutes between study sessions :rolleyes: and thought I would check in.

I'll just have a beer please Will.. it might just have to be a pitcher :D

[jazzfisher]

Gary,
No drinking & Learning!:)

I'll have a Margarita with salt on the rim, please!

[Wendy]

Ummm ...

We haven't had a drinks part for a while ... :)

Wendy

[Pauline]

Well for once I'm in no rush. I have way to much to do. I have a ps dvd I received Friday that I haven't even opened. Linda Sattgast's newsletter arrived Sun. and haven't looked at it and today in the mail my new book for Corel draw!! I have so much stuff I don't know where to begin. Hopefully finish my big project tonight so I can move on to the next item in line!! WOW it's just like Christmas.

[willpresley]

Pauline -- sounds like you have a plateful of things to occupy your time.

I thought we should start up the drinks party again -- it has always been a fun part of waiting for the Newsletter. And they put holes in this one too!

[WingAnimal]

Aww man... I guess I'll take a nice glass of wine to go with the salad. Leave the bottle because I know I won't be getting mine for a few days.

[virgo1]

I'll have a white wine please.:) It's not here yet. Pauline...What is the name of the book you just got for Draw? I ordered Draw13 last week, should be here soon.
Eva;)

[Wendy]

Still too early for me to have a drink but I'll have a coffee whilst waiting for the postman :)

Wendy

[Mary]

I think I was one of the very last to receive mine last time so I will have to drink moderately. Or maybe someone can be my "designated drinker" until mine arrives? I would like a glass of chablis please :)

[Pauline]

Yes Will lots to do and I haven't even started yet today..........(here I sit on the forum).

Eva the book I got was basically the only one available unless you get the one from Corel which really isn't great. It's Corel Draw 12 by Steve Bain. Do not read in bed!! Almost 700 pages and very heavy!! :eek: There isn't one out for X3 yet and I couldn't find any info as to whether there would be one published. I haven't got very far into the book yet, but the thing I like about it is that it's readable. It's not just a list of tools and what they do. It's seems Corel manuals are all the same....(I have the painter one too). They tell you about the tool very briefly and then refer you to the help files for more info. I was hoping the draw one would be different, but it's not!

This is my first draw program and it's pretty incredible!! I'm hoping at the end of the month to have more time with it to play and learn.

[Tom K]

I hope Connecticut is not last on the list like it seemed to be
last issue.. :o Tom

[virgo1]

Pauline,
Thanks a bunch for the book info. I'll check at the library. Meanwhile, Draw came today, look enjoyable to learn. Thanks again.:D

The mail's not here yet or I haven't checked yet. It's usually the late afternoon mail.
Eva;)

[jazzfisher]

Guess I'm buying--party's in sunny San Diego!!! It's here!!!:eek: I can't believe I'm not the last one this time!! And I've read almost all of it while eating dinner!

[Wendy]

Tom...

If you are last then at least you get to stay at the party longer :)

Wendy

[Bayla]

Wendy,

But by that stage he'd be in no fit state to even open the pages of the newsletter:)

Bayla

[Wendy]

Hi Bayla ...

Oh I never thought of that !! :)

Wendy

[ME100FINN]

Well Sherry I am the last to get mine ... no surprise with APO shipping!! LOL Still no sign.... seems the post office delivers all the magazines in bulk on one day--my box is loaded with them all at once.

So, I am not a drinker but do enjoy a little something on a special occassion. Hmmm... guess that would be a classic white zinfandel for me while I wait... ooh, that does sound kinda good now that I type it... drool... been a long awhile (ya know, nine months pregnant, baby is 7mos and I am nursing)!!

[Wendy]

Beatrice ...

No sign yet in the UK either ... now that drink sounds nice. What is it ?? :)

Wendy

[ME100FINN]

Here's a bottle on me!

[Wendy]

Oh that is such a pretty colour :eek:

Thank you I am going to enjoy drinking it ...

Wendy

[virgo1]

I'm getting the next round. A nice surprise was in the mail box today.:D
Eva;)

[billz]

Thanks Eva ... quad iced espresso for me please.

Maybe tomorrow in Portland.

BTW, nice photos from Cassville!

Bill

[Wendy]

Hi Eva ...

So pleased that you havee yours ... make mine a dry white wine please :)

Wendy

[karen donnybrook]

Barperson, I would like a good cold clear water - I reckon 2005 vintage is probably best :rolleyes: I am on medication for a while and it is NO alcohol for me :eek:

Obviously I still have not got my newsletter.

[kevq]

Hi,
No sign of mine, so I'll drown my sorrows with an ice cold Lager,
Kev.

[NMarti]

Another round of Jack for me. I need something stronger this time. Once again - north, south, east and west of me but still waiting....

[Wendy]

Hi Nancy ...

I was going to have another drink but as its 1.30 in the morning here ... I guess its time I went to bed :)

Wendy

[NMarti]

Well you can sleep in the morning and maybe you'll have a nice surprise in your mailbox. I have to wait till I get home from work to see if it came.:(

[ceejay3744]

I got mine today so I celebrated with a cold Faygo Rock and Rye. That's a soft drink, everyone.

[cathy]

i got mine today, voka and orange jucie here tonight....

[Mary]

Mine arrived today here in Las Vegas stuck to another one for George Oya also of Las Vegas. I put it back for the carrier to redirect it tomorrow.

This issue is going to keep me busy for quite awhile! Thanks to all the staff who put it together - they just keep getting better and better!:)

[Byron Gale]

So - what's the protocol at these flings? My V3#4 arrived today (technically, yesterday - we didn't go to the mailbox until today, though) and I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to receive a drink, or pop for a round.

[Wendy]

Byron ...

When you get your magazine then its your turn to buy the drinks ... us poor folks who are still waiting get free drinks until they arrive.

Last person here usually takes a week or so to sober up :D

Wendy

[Robyn]

Got mine today!:p

[karen donnybrook]

Robyn, maybe mine is not too far away :D

[mom to 4]

Just got mine out of the package, went to get a cup of coffee and one of the kids promptly spilled lemonade all over it.........it is now one big sticky mess! I did separate all the pages though, so I will be able to read it.....maybe with gloves on.......:D

[Wendy]

Oh Colleen ...

... and after the wait too !! :(

Wendy

[mom to 4]

kids!!! Gotta love them.....sometimes:twisted: :D

[karen donnybrook]

Colleen, our son was being obnoxious one day and started yelling and shouting that he hated me - my answer was I did not like him sometimes either but I always loved him :) It stopped him in his tracks.

[Pauline]

Looks like I'm buying and it's the weekend so this could be an expensive round!! (unless Gary gets home and checks his mail and finds his!)

[Wendy]

Pauline ...

Oh that wasn't good timing ... guess that I will just have another dry white wine (Ummm ... is anyone counting just how many I have had) :)

Wendy

[willpresley]

Wendy - we'll know when you have had too much wine -- when your typing gets slurred. :eek::)

[Wendy]

Will ...

My typing is always slurred :)

Wendy

[Pauline]

Will your comment made me smile. My husband now has a blackberry for work, and instead of phoning home to say he won't be home, he now e-mails me. I told him I don't like it because I can't tell over e-mail how much he's had to drink! :eek: He said from now on he would type with his left hand.

[kerriann85]

Pauline...:D
Newsletter in Nebraska today. Sparkling raspberry water for everybody!

(or I could just stick a pitcher out the door, it's FINALLY raining here!)

[billz]

C'mon out to Portland ... its espresso and micro-brews all around! (Looks like a fun issue.)

Bill

[Dorrie H.]

To my delight it reached Northern Calif. today...Now I have some good reading material...and the video in connection with the Newsletter article by Matt is up for viewing today. HURRAY!!!

Dorrie

[karen donnybrook]

Rain - what is that :D We have had our driest start to winter ever and it does not look like raining for another couple of days :eek: We are down to the last 45cm (15 inches) of rain water and no we do not have town water supply! On top of no rain, it has been very cold (for my neck of the woods). The minimum this morning was -5C :eek:

I'll have another drink, thanks ;)

[NMarti]

http://www.getmesmileys.com/smilies/party0003.gif

Let the Party Begin!!! I got mine today!!!! Wow - that's the fastest I've ever gotten it in relation to everyone else.

[chas3stix]

Karen,
Don't feel alone.....haven't seen the new newsletter either.
Chas

[Wendy]

Me neither !! :(

Still that means that we get to party for longer !!! :p

Wendy

[crljean]

Finally made it from North Liberty to Fort Dodge, Iowa. Geesh! Must have been the Pony Express! Anyway, I've got it and have the weekend to read it!

[G. OReilly]

George;)

[Wendy]

Hi George ...

I got my NAPP magazine yesterday so I am reading that instead :)

Wendy

[Maureen]

George, I'll definitely have a drink on you because I live in Toronto and mine hasn't arrived yet. :( CC & diet coke please!:)

[Pauline]

Wendy have you seen the magazine Advanced Photoshop? It's from the UK and I have a copy which I found to be excellent. Another one which I won on e-bay is on the way!

[Wendy]

Hi Pauline ...

When it first started I really enjoyed it ... but the more recent issues donlt seem to have been as good.

I never thought of getting them from eBay :)

Wendy

[G. OReilly]

:D Maureen.....sorry to take so long to make your drink !!!

Enjoy

George;)

[G. OReilly]

:D Wendy....I will be traveling to England next month.

Please put a good word in to your weatherman....for me !

Thanks

George
p.s. enjoy your NAPP magazine:D

[Bayla]

Mine arrived this morning:) First one in the UK or have all you other Brits got yours as well? Drinks are on me....I've just poured my morning cuppa & am sitting down to read my newsletter.....aah, bliss:)

Bayla

[karen donnybrook]

Mine arrived this morning, so this round is on me :)

[Wendy]

George ...

Where abouts are you visiting ???

Wendy

[Wendy]

Hey my newsletter arrived this morning ... and I'm just off to have lunch and read it :)

Wendy

[G. OReilly]

:D Good Morning !!!! Wendy

Our flight will leave here July 12th. My friend is from Hastings so we will be visiting the southern part of England.Were back packing with our camera gear so hope to get lots of pictures.

Regards

George:)

[Wendy]

Hi George ...

I used to live in Tunbridge Wells so know Hastings well ... you will enjoy it. Kent is a very nice county :)

Wendy

[jazzfisher]

Don't know why but I recieved a plain brown envelope today with a second copy of latest newsletter--no explaination.:confused: If anyone needs one let me know.....:)

[kayser]

Bet you were expecting something different in that envelope...:D

[karen donnybrook]

Bet, you mean like a couple of one hundred dollar notes :rolleyes:

[jazzfisher]

Oh Kay, you must mean camping brochures or something like that.....


Karen,
If anyone want s to send me $$$$$ I'm accepting!!

[NMarti]

:D Heck I'm still trying to send my husband ....

[jazzfisher]

Nancy,
I think I'd rather go camping than take on another male type person.:cool:

[karen donnybrook]

Nancy, husbands are totally unacceptable when it comes to gifts :rolleyes:

[Wendy]

Karen ... nice one :)

Wendy

[NMarti]

Yeah Karen- I don't think I would take one either. Kind of like a car - when it's new it smells good and looks good - but the more miles it gets on it the more you want to trade it in. :p

[e-mailsucks]

You guys are so disgusting. How can you talk about your better half that way? Wendy, you don't have to encourage them :D . Now I know that most of you have been concerned wondering when am I going to get my Newsletter. Well, not to worry anymore, it came today. What a relief eh?

Brian :)

[virgo1]

Brian,
I got an email from Kerria just before the MS Ride. You don't even want to know.:p:D
Eva;)

[jazzfisher]

Eva,
Was she trying to give him away?:eek: :D

[WingAnimal]

Okay, what gives!?!?!?!?! Our friend and school teacher, Mike, got his newsletter last week and he lives only one hour from me. I was sure I was going to get mine on Saturday and be struggling with wanting to play with PSE on Father's Day. But nooooooo... I still don't have it. Oh well, I guess I'm still buying the rounds tonight.

[jazzfisher]

Norm
Since I got 2 of them!!! I'll have a double martini!! Twice the olives please.



Hey, if you don't get it, PM me & I'll mail you one of mine......

[e-mailsucks]

:eek: Sherry, she'd know better than to give me away. Heck, I'm the best thing that's ever happened to her. Once I'm gone, she'll be lost without me. I complete her! Of course, these are my words and thoughts, not hers :rolleyes: .

Brian :)

[jazzfisher]

Brian,
That's not I heard through the grapevine.........:cool:

[virgo1]

Sherry,
That was only the short version.:p:D;)
Eva;)

[e-mailsucks]

Sherry, shouldn't you be getting ready to head home now? I'm leaving in 5 minutes. Don't believe everything you hear from the grapevine ;) .

Brian :)

[jazzfisher]

Brian
Oh, you don't know Kerria too well now do you?

[virgo1]

Brian,
Who you calling a grapevine?:D:p:D
Eva;)

[jazzfisher]

Brian,
You know us women, we stick together like a bunch of grapes!!! & we hear things!!!!:twisted:

[e-mailsucks]

You know something you guys, when I saw this thread and all the husband bashing, I thought there were too many crows here to get involved. But the bait you set worked and I had to respond. Women always stick together even if they disagree with one another :p . Here I offer Sherry a DVD and Eva a copy of of file and then their way of saying thanks is this????? OK, that's it for you's guys :p . I'm going back to my other forum now.

Brian :)

[virgo1]

Brian,
Aw come on. You can't take a joke?:D
Eva;)

[jazzfisher]

Aww Brian,
I can't husband-bash-I don't have one!!:D

Come on, we were just messin' with ya!!:(

[e-mailsucks]

:D Ha, ha, I was just funnin' with you's guys. But it's nice to see you were concerned. If I couldn't take one of your jokes I would PM that I was upset, and I know I didn't do that. Go ahead, take your best shot. But I really was at my other forum. We're having the most interesting talk about lenses on DSLR camera's. I started the thread not expecting much from it and it's still going strong a week later. They're twins to this forum. Nice and friendly and very knowledgeable about Olympus stuff. Yes, I'll admit it, I'm an Olympus owner, but proud of it. Anyway, that's another thread. Sooooo, what'cha want to talk about now.

Brian :) :p

[jazzfisher]

Brian,
You hit 1001!!! Keep talking!!

[Wendy]

Hey Brian ...

1001 !!!

Wendy

[e-mailsucks]

:eek: Shhhh, don't let Kerria know. She'll send me to my padded room because of this addiction, and now she's got proof this time :D . Heck, I thought it was just the women that talked this much. Oops, sorry guys.

Brian :)

[bwolford]

Never did get mine!

Just contacted customer service. I see Vol3#5 might be out too!

Brice

[NMarti]

Brice
That's pretty pathetic when you are so close to the home office and can't get it. Now I don't feel so bad.:D

[jazzfisher]

Brice,
Don't tell me--am I already waiting for the next one?:p

[bwolford]

I've written two emails to customer service to find out what's going on with the newsletter. No response. That's disappointing. I guess I need to call them tomorrow.

Brice
