Native bee on Geraldton Wax Flower
Amanda J. M. has at long last... 2006... discovered what a great place Wikipedia is to share information and ideas.
I am an art lover and a story teller. I particularly like art and stories that are uplifting to the human spirit. I look for the beauty in things and talk about it at great length. I like it when someone follows me from site to site and corrects my spelling errors and typos and makes my references work. I get put out when the someoone who corrrects my typos also removes every adjective. Adjectives are the basic tool of the Art historian!
I don't know how to stop this keyboard doing ddouble lletterrss. Every time I have to use the word "commissioned" it makes me nervouss. Also, coming to the world of computers rather late in life, I'm slow to catch on. How does one get those little lists of icons and things describing ones affiliations, gender, religion and so on? --Amandajm 10:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
