hi alura, when i said no msn i meant chat rooms. we can still use messenger. just cant access any chat rooms. UNLESS, you know someone in the states who has payed and is willing to give you one of their passport thingys. that is what i meant. i was so lucky to have just found it before it dissappeared. the friends i met there i have been able to keep in touch with via IM. and of course my Master now see in OZ you only have 18 days to go you deserve it girl.
