Re: Mind's Eye Windows Eight

I was thinking Neil and Molly,,
As I am retired and very little to occupy my time besides writing bad
poetry and walking dogs,
because I have the "Time" Free to be able to take care of minds eye
rather than find a different venue I could talk over the mundane work
of caring for the group..

I don't think it will take me that long to figure out how it works..

another possibility would be set it up as a small private group off a
email account..
