Flip to page 21, paragraph 2 in the book closest to you right now, what does it say?

Must admit, I too have no idea what you were doing at 8am today.
Hubby wrote a song about me once. It's a nice gesture, but I wish he hadn't told everyone it was about me.

I was looking for software to make a bulletin board (for a friend of mine) written in php3 on mySQL. He wanted to put something on his website which would allow people to post comments etc.
Thanks for commenting.
Regards,
Tin

Ok! I have heard of php and mySQL...doesn't mean I also KNOW them.
So "bbs" stands for "Bulletin Board System" and not "Behavioral and Brain Sciences". :-)
