Yep, I'm on Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/funkybrownchick" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/funkybrownchick</a>. Videos "to keep the visitors more interested" :) I'd like to think my visitors are already interested; hence, they're here ;) That said, I've posted a few videos on the site here & you can also find me on YouTube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/funkybrownchick" rel="nofollow">http://youtube.com/funkybrownchick</a>. I don't do as many videos as I'd like, but that's mostly because of bandwidth (working, writing freelance articles, pitching the book, maintaining time for friends & family, etc.) As time permits, expect additional videos. :) Hi Barabara!

I shall probably not be posting here much more for a while as I must go back into hospital soon (hopefully for the last time).   My thanks to you all for your support and sympathy.  Just try to remember that people who are physically mangled are NOT necessarily bad. Enough of Twanna's space has been wasted on this nonsense.  I am truly sorry, Twanna, but it does not look like I shall be able to keep our date in New York.
