Great Grandpa Marv IS TERRIFIC!

When I first started last July, I absolutely did NOT know which way to turn.

I didn't know enough about 'anything' to ask any questions to the list...and
a couple of times when I did, I really didn't understand most of the answers
and felt put down and thought I would NEVER be able to grasp what everyone
was talking about.

I kept struggling but I wouldn't give up.

Finally, through the grapevine I heard about Grandpa Marv and I sought his
help--and did so on more than one occasion.

He was always very quick to respond, never critical and would have me
laughing at myself. I knew all I had to do was ask him to do it for me, but
because I am a stubborn person and wanted to do it on *my* own--Grandpa Marv
would check out my problem and then send me 'detailed' step-by-step
resolutions. I visited his great website quite a few times--even borrowed
(with his permission) an adorable mailbox.

I still am a beginner and do not understand all the tags, but what I have
learned is when I see something I like, I copy/paste and keep working until
I get it to do what I (think) I want. It's a tiring process, but when I
work on my pages, I seem to learn a little more each time--I'm not saying I
remember what to do--but then that's when I go back to my best source of
'copy/paste/refresh' until I get it......

All he asks in return is to "stop by for a cup of coffee"......which I hope
some day I'll be able to do!

THANKS Grandpa Marv--YOU ARE TERRIFIC!!! THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR ALL OF
US!!!!
