About This is my last posting for some time as I need a break away from UF. This would have been entitled 'let's go party' or some such but it fits the mood of my adieu.

stingRay part 3 will be back sometime, maybe next year. stingRay part 2 will continue to look in and comment on favourite shots from his friends from time to time.

I just need a change and a rest and I have found a little niche in Facebook which I am beginning to enjoy. It will be great if I can get to a point where I understand everything that goes on in there:D:D.

I will be about for another day or two to comment and then I will start moving around in Facebook. I shall see quite a few UF friends in there and who knows a few more may join in as well in the future. Thank you for all the support you have given me and the encouragement and tips for improvement.

My very best wishes to all my friends, always.

Dear Ray,
It's good to take a break and a change of scenery from time to time. I respect and understand it .. but, really saddens me and of course, really miss your wonderful comments.
See you on Facebook, although I'm a bit sloppy. I go to hear from you.
I hope your back from now.
A great big HUUUUUUUUUG and my very best wishes, my friend,
Malules

Hope to see you back very soon with your part 3.
All the very best,

Thank you my dear sweet angel. I will still be in to leave an occasional comment but I need to devote a lot of time in another direction, a great deal of time in fact. I have found a new love and I need to nurture it fully. The biggest of HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS a kiss of course with much love. Always in my heart....XXX

Thank you my dear Ania. As you know I saw your lovely present to me. I will still pop in here from time to time and leave a comment or two. It would be good to 'see' you on FB but you are such a busy girl. You take care, study hard and wait for your Omer coming to you. A great big HUUUUUUG and best wishes to you both, always.....


stingRay part 2 .   {K:238276} 10/9/2009
Thank you so much my dear Teresita. I haven't seen you for a while. Hope you are OK sweetie. I have started a long break away from UF. I will still place the odd comment from time to time but I will not be posting for some months now. A great big HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG for you but with you I now prefer Bacione ed abbracci, best wishes to you always.....Ray X


Andre Denis   {K:61561} 10/9/2009
Hi Ray,
A great shot of good times that all of the above will remember fondly.
That's what this kind of image is all about after-all. :)

I understand completely your thoughts on needing a bit of a rest from Usefilm. It seems to be a familiar pattern with members to be active for a while and then go off for a while. I seem to be doing the same thing. When I look through my list of "friends and associates", the pattern is there with most of them.
I'll see you back as StingRay part 3.
Andre


Robert Gaither   {K:32265} 10/9/2009
Not sure of your real name. I got Ray Stingray. I'iilook at Ray Sting. Here is my address I think http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=robert+gaither&init=quick#/profile.php?id=100000114983618&ref=search&sid=100000114983618.2916480394..1


stingRay part 2 .   {K:238276} 10/9/2009
For the record Bob it is Ray Whyte. I will try to track you down but I am pretty useless when it comes to computers Take care, 'see' you soon.


stingRay part 2 .   {K:238276} 10/9/2009
Many thanks Andre. I will pop in from time to time to leave the odd comment but I don't plan any postings until well into next year. Take care of you. Best wishes, always.....


Shirley D. Cross   {K:151561} 10/9/2009
You're welcome, Ray. See you around.:)

Robert Chin   {K:21672} 10/13/2009
Lovely way to take a break Ray,that`s a lucky guy to be surrounded by such beauties.
Wishing you all the fun as you explore your new direction
but you won`t see me at 'Facebook',no time for that!!
Processing is taking a new direction via 'Color Efex 3'
pushing my colors up a notch.

Take care

stingRay part 2 .   {K:238276} 10/13/2009
Hiya Robbie.....I have seen this shot of yours and it will get my official comment soon, I promise . I will be looking in on UF from time to time but I will NOT be posting till well into next year. I've had enough of it for a while.
As I have told so many friends of late that I will comment from time to time, I will wait a little longer before I start. Unfortunately some people might be offended if I appear to miss them, I WILL stay in touch with you my dear friend.
Very best wishes to you, always.......Ray

Robert Chin   {K:21672} 10/13/2009
No problem Ray,you just do what is in your best interest,I know the feeling since i`m not fully back at UF mostly repling to comments and friends.

Thank you Armando.......I WILL be looking in occasionally and leaving the odd comment. I will make a start on this soon my friend. It was good to see you arrive in Facebook. Currently I am catching up with other things just now, my dear brother for instance. I will be looking through close friends work soon and I will comment on my favourites from each of you. My very best wishes always.


stingRay part 2 .   {K:238276} 11/3/2009
Thank you Ann....when things settle down a bit fort me I WILL be popping in and out of UF and commenting only for some months to come. I have barely picked up my camera lately, just some family bits really. I have so much going on in my life just now. A great big HUG for you in the meantime. I will comment soon sweetie. Very best wishes always X


stingRay part 2 .   {K:238276} 11/3/2009
I WILL be commenting a bit in the near future Dan but I have rather a lot of things going on in my life at present. Take care of you my friend, very best wishes always.


stingRay part 2 .   {K:238276} 11/3/2009
I shall still look in to comment from time to time Mojgan but at present I have a lot of catching up to do in other directions. I WILL see you again soon. A great big HUG for you and my very best wishes as well.


stingRay part 2 .   {K:238276} 11/3/2009
I WILL be back at some time Ibrahim but only to comment for a while. First though I have so much catching up to do with other matters in my life. I WILL see you soon my friend, take care. Very best wishes to you.


Armando Giambolini   {K:9805} 11/3/2009
Dear friend Ray ,

Thank you instead for having read my comment.
Yes , I was on Facebook . I met several friends like you for instance.
But I exit from Facebook . I found this site a bit confused. I think this is for young people , although I'm not a very old man...

I learn that you are concerned with you dear brother .
Big hugs and wishes to your brother an you dear Ray .

Bye.

Beautiful and with a sense of joyous mood.


Roger Williams   {K:84100} 11/20/2009
Ray, I'm on Facebook, and can't make head or tail of it. Send me your alias there and I'll start following you. My address was roger atmark adex hyphen japan dotcom.


stingRay part 2 .   {K:238276} 11/20/2009
Hi there Roger. I pop in and out of FB and like yourself it has me stumped. I think it is mainly for the young my friend. There is farming, gardening, the Mafia, running a cafe and goodness knows what else. So far I am not involved in any of those activities. I have 55 friends and nearly all of them are from UF so it is good to keep up with some of those. I think I signed in as Ray Whyte I cannot remember anything else my friend. I will try to look out for you. I have also tried to link up with some others from UF but we are having little success. You would possibly have success in finding someone with an unusual name that you know from UF. Doyle Chastain and Srna Stankovic would be two possibles if you know them at all.
Hope to see you there Roger. Very best wishes to you........Ray


Roger Williams   {K:84100} 11/20/2009
Hi, Ray. As there are 14 Ray Whytes and only one Roger David Williams, why don't you search for me and suggest I become a Facebook "Friend" rather than the other way around? There ARE photos of most of the Ray Whytes, but I couldn't decide which of the old fogeys was you [grin].
