FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS! THE TRAIN HAS LEFT THE STATION...MSG -
The Engineer on February 20, 1999 at 19:45:36 from 207.211.63.48:
Check your e-mails! Editor's Note: This was the e-mail that was sent out to all passengers:
It left Grand Central Station today at 5 pm Pacific Standard Time with
*80* passengers on board. You were all gussied up for departure. Some
of you are dressed in red or pale pink tissue with hearts and glitter
kitties. Others are dressed in various florals including a blue &
violet Monet water lily print, pink & violet irises, red & pink roses,
white & pink hearts, and pastel pink with designer ribbon. Envelopes
are all tied together with a 1" wide gold ribbon. You are nestled in 3
separate cars - Engine, Box Car & Caboose. You are having quite a
party on board and there are irridescent shredded streamers, white &
pink paper confetti hearts and white pearlized metallic heart confetti
strewn about each compartment. The outside of the boxes were decorated
with tiny glitter stickers of a train with engine, coal bin, 5 box cars
and a caboose with a label beneath it which says "The HeartsABoard
Express". In the Engine (Box #1) there is a card with a kitty on it
that says "This is a Hug". I took some pictures, but I'll just warn you
up front I'm not a great photographer. But I'll get them developed on
Monday and if they turn out I'll send you and update via e-mail and post
the photos on the private message board.
The boxes were sent Express Delivery and will arrive WEDNESDAY morning.
(I think that's East Coast time). I have the tracking number and will
be tracking delivery and keeping you all advised.
Stand by. We've pulled out of the Station and we're on our way across
country. The journey will last another 3 days. Stay tuned to the
private message board for updates. We're on our way!!!!!
THANK YOU!! msg -

cb begging you to read msg before posting within this post on February 21, 1999 at 17:45:32 from 209.240.200.103:
many people, places, and things. Astray and I are inspired every day by the compassion of the Acmepet BBers and most especially by the efforts of Tally, lisaviolet, Tik Tok, Fran, cat slave, and everybody aboard this Love Train. It is in this same spirit that I will forge ahead and attempt one(?) more time to spell out the HEARTSABOARD cheer inspired by CarolSJ, Squeak n Josie, and TWIG. If this seemingly simple feat is not accomplished this time, I may need to call on Pat and granny, who have been eternally inspiring, or just drown myself in cheesy puffs. Oh, please allow me to (attempt to) complete cheer before you post, just so it actually looks like one word. Hopefully you'll see what I mean. PS If anyone wants to do "EXPRESS" have at it!
Your heart was in the right place, sweetie (astray to cb) -
