Steve, :68711_thanx: What has changed? Hmm ... that would be a lo~ng story! There have, of course, been loads of changes. Changes for the better in so many different ways - most notably in layout of format by our founder, KeithD - BRILLIANT! :appl:

Because of his "brainchild", I've made lots of good, trusted friends - a number of whom I have even had the pleasure of meeting personally. :smile:

But these things apart ...:anerikke: ... collectively, in my opinion, we're sure to be THE BEST social networking site ANYWHERE! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

My thanks to you Arthur you were among those who helped me a great deal, when I joined after I had married my now ex Filipino wife and could not understand the immigration system and what was going wrong.

In time I realised it was because she had got pregnant by her Filipino boyfriend after our wedding in the Philippines and needed to delay coming here until after she had given birth.

My dream did not work out, but you helped me realise why, and have successfully helped many couples through the red tape since. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Thank you, in turn, for your faith in my advice, Mick. Whilst I'm sorry the dream you'd had didn't work out in the way you'd hoped - due to circumstances [completely] beyond your control - the decision you took to end the relationship with Jennifer ... before it slowly spiralled downwards into a living nightmare, is something for which I, too, remain truly thankful. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
