Hi Everyone! I climbed up into the spooky HPO attic and brushed away a few cobwebs and I have located the voting page for the annual HPO Halloween Site Fest!!! Don't disappoint me... I ruined a perfectly good blouse trying to find this. Get those sites ready - submissions start on October 1st. Watch for a link in my sig.

Hope you all enjoyed the image making and tables exercises we did last month. I feel like I've lost 5 pounds, how about you? I'm going to have to slow them down a little bit because I felt they were overwhelming the board and distracting us from our primary purpose of reviewing and advising on web pages. They'll still be there... just not at the same frequency.

Welcome to all our new visitors and members. Don't forget to sign up your pages for our contests (we love giving out awards). We'd also love to include your pic in our photo album and get you signed up for our birthday club. Enjoy all the HPO has to offer! We're are glad to have ya! Hugs! Rusty

YIKES!!!!!   Octoberrrrrr. Time to bring in all the brass Otters. Ha!

This is my favorite time of the year graphics-wize. I love the spooky graphics & pics all month and change my sig midis every few days. I'm really looking forward to everyone's sigs and sites.

I want to say how much HPO appreciates all the great 1st sites that have been released through HPO and of course the ever-popular "Poster of the Week" is a really good showcase for our members. (Need not be present to win!).

Let's keep the daily count up & post.....Post.....POST.

Greetings from chilly North Dakota!

Ah, Halloween is quickly approaching......one of my favorite times of the year! Can't wait to see all those fantastic Halloween sites and siggies.

A piece of sad news......Anna Cher had to resign due to family concerns. We all wish her and her family nothing but the best.

Hi everyone. Norman the Staff Otter here in my first post in FYI. It's October. A good month for catching Salmon and watching old movies on TCM. (Tuna Classic Movies).

There has been some buzz and snickering about my baby picture. (See HPO Family Photo Album). The question has been asked. "Norm. What's that newspaper on the floor for?" Well for pete's sake I naturally subscribe to the Walleye Street Journal and read it each and every morning. What do you people think it's for????

BRUCE: "Whisper........whisper......"

WHAT!!!!!!!!! That's downright DISGUSTING. We Otters are civilized you know. Geeze.

A shout-out here to all my friends and fans and I appreciate all the new posters I get to welcome on HPO's behalf.

post.....Post.....POST.

Till next time.
