Christine, has xs been offering you skittles?

[xsmommy]

well dubs, the mint ones i save just for you....

[RikaStrom]

Are you giving W skittles again?

[Slip18]

I loved those roomy old boats. No one got in your way.

[xsmommy]

just the mint ones, and just a few, teach ; )

[Slip18]

Did you notice The Daily Prayer Thread is over here now? I guess that's not considered "Religious." I don't know who figures out what around here.

[Slip18]

You and your danged dangling prepositions. You should be hung!

[RikaStrom]

How odd. Maybe the other is going to be strictly for debates and the like, if so, I think I will stay right where I am at.

[christine]

dubs, you'll have to fill me in on the skittles. that was before my joining the class. however, if there are purple ones--i got dibs! ;)

[Slip18]

I think we have the best of both worlds over here in General. The really bright kids < /sarcasm > don't bother us, and we can go over there whenever we want and partake of their discussions. They've complained about us so much, they wouldn't have the nerve to come here.

[Slip18]

Sean Hannity and Skittles go hand in hand.

[xsmommy]

i don't care where they put us, so long as they leave us alone, and we are together.

[RikaStrom]

Ah yes, the skittles.

A certain coquette has been accused of leading innocent, young croqs to their ruination by feeding the skittles.

There have been skittle trails from the classroom to the tree near the pond. ;-)

[RikaStrom]

True.

[RikaStrom]

Agreed.
