Got Tashs parcel today and your cards yesterday thanks.
Love yaxx
I looked everything up. :o) Is that cheating? :o) For your actor and movie pictures, you pretty much have to know the movie or name of the person in order to get them, but I most often have to look up your quizzical section. I'm really learning a lot from answering the questions though. Tell me if I shouldn't look them up. If not, Will would probably beat me every time (oh wait, he does that anyways) :o)
The whole idea of the quiz is to expand your knowledge by looking things up.
Keep Looking Kim, Keep Looking!
:O)
