SOULKISS

I first met Ed when I went to have a massage from his then girlfriend Sharon Emery. She introduced us and we had a few sessions of rebirthing. Ed is also a practising Feng Shui Master,Aromatherapist, and web designer (man of many talents).

We got to be good mates and kept in touch. Many a time we have had 'Duvet, Pizza & film' nights together. We even had a few web cam evenings staying up till all hours, laughing till we were crying. I introduced him to a whole new world and before long he had his own web cam. He's like my favourite girlfriend ( every woman needs one)             

Well one day he surprised me and for Christmas 1999 he built a computer for me . Ed is also known as 'Sarky' he has a very sarcastic sense of humour, he thought he was giving me a little project but I exceeded his wildest expectations before long I had set up on dating sites, got profiles here then and everywhere, bought a web cam and away we went on a blazing trail of looking for love in all the wrong places. We set up a web site which is way out of date now it was all a learning curve for future things to come.

I was burning discs and installing programs before long I had decided we need to upgrade, back to the computer shops for better hardware and it's been that way ever since. If ever I get a problem be it Computers, Men or life I always know who is a good listener, my underestimated friend ED.

Thanks Eduardo (my pet name) for being the best friend anyone can have - I couldn't have got this far without YOU xx

I used to get asked so many times what I found to do on the computer so here is a short list of what I find to do in no particular order.....

• Once upon a time - datingdirect.com (best personal site)
• Web cam chats on ISPQ (don't have web cam anymore)
• Best QM (met my wacky friend 'Rifftastic'
• Surfing for artworks
• Digital imagery manipulation (paintshop etc)
• Chatting on ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger
• Learning the art of winzip on icq (asking my friend 'Rodan' a LOT of questions between his 'smoke breaks')
• Designing my own profiles and web site (see old blueyonder web site on link page)
• Itunes and Ipod
• Booking holidays on Expedia
• Researching holidays on line before hand with trip advisor

The first nickname was Vivamel taken from Elvis -Viva Las Vegas , my first e-mail address was vivamel_2000@yahoo.com

• My first encounter on the net was a potential disaster waiting to happen a guy I met on 'Love at AOL'- We chatted on line via e-mails, spoke on the phone for several months, he sent me the most romantic letters via snail mail he seemed too good to be true. Next we arranged to meet up in New York, he turned out to be a weird one, long story but let's say I think I had a narrow escape, just in case you come across him his name is 'Steve Parodi'. Girls out there beware!! I ended up in New York anyway and had a good time visiting places such as The Chelsea Hotel & Greenwich village.
• From this unnerving experience I decided to have a break from meeting men on line, just chatted  to a few select people such as Baz.
• I installed ICQ and away I went chatting and one day in 2001 made a connection to an American guy - that's the next page folks.
