Dawn7z: You might want to email someone who you wish to IM first a lot of people get IM's intrusively and get tired of it so they quit answering. Not that you would but just an idea if you IM some wonderful young lady please don't start out with the phrase "Hey Sexy." JMO

Good tip Dawn. A bit strange sometimes to just receive an IM and be expected to engage in conversation with someone you do not know spontaneously, especially if it is heavy handed to start.
Hey, Brampton guy....Lived in Mississauga for 2 years, worked in Bramptom. Now in the Netherlands. Wow! memories of home. Hope all is well.
