This is a fabulous write my friend! I don't understand nor write Text Message Talk! I had no idea what you wrote in the above messages...I had to go by the interpretation! Very nicely done Linda-Marie! Great Work!!

LInda, the words I got wrong were many. I thought smos was smores, and flt was flirt. and hm was hotmail and bb gm was bubble gum. hahahaha. I hate this language. But I know you must be an EXPERT at it, you phone girl you. hahaha.

lol ... ... If I had received that message - I would think it was written in a foreign language. I had not understood one word ..... but it's funny Linda-Marie. - I wish you luck in the competition. - If you send me a text message, you will probably not get an answer ..... lol ... hug from Anne-Lise :)
