Hi Helen,
I just wanted to stop by to tell you that I love your surname. I don't think anyone from your family ever came to America because I haven't heard it before.
Thank you for adding me to your friends, Helen -- totally makes me happy. Nice to meet you!
Thanks Helen :)
Antibiotic resistant bacteria have evolved in the last 60 years. Your tormenter is not interested in proof, he wants a time machine.
Thanks for accepting my friends request. I hope your dealings with the school system over religious education go well.

I’m now addicted to Yahoo answers!
