tell arghy, not me. i am with ya, sister : )

[Argh]

Miss C is very kind, and I wore a shirt large enough to hide it! And we ate and drank a fair amount! Etc.

[Argh]

Wow! They sound lovely.

[Conspiracy Guy]

It felt like someone stabbed you in the stomach. The pain was not localized as one would think. I had it done 22 years ago and I haven't owned a bike for 18 years or so. I love motorcycles but I have too many toys now and want to build another airplane next.

One of us is going to slap you upside the head if you keep that up....

[xsmommy]

miss sea is not all THAT kind, ; ) . she woulda told me the truth! right miss rika? does miss sea mince words?

[Bella_Bru]

Xs, don't you think hobbes should apologize to Arghie?

[Gabz]

Oh good grief.

Cinder is already big enough that on her hind legs she can reach the dining room table.

She's starting to get the idea she is not supposed to do that - because we keep putting her on a lead at dinner time and she can't even get into the dining room - it seems to be working!!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

whaddeedo?

[Argh]

Miss Bella, you're too kind!!

[hobbes1]

To Argh?!?!?!?!?

You should re-read that post.

I was openning up Argh, to his usual banter with Miss Whyisa?

[xsmommy]

well as i understand what hobbes said, he is more ragging on whyisa for her supposed shenanigans than slighting, arghy. and if indeed whyisa did what hobbes purports she has done, well i think that arhgy would be rather enthralled with the entire proposition....

[Bella_Bru]

Nah...just letting you know that you can be sexy, with a beer belly. :-)

[Bella_Bru]

Just teasing you, hobbes.

[Argh]

HAH! I can't post on a nice family-oriented site like this the things the Whyisa has tried...

[Bella_Bru]

And don't let that "kind" stuff get around. I'd have to close by dungeon.

[CSM]

They have 2 copies on e-bay right now. Each is at $5.50, no I am not selling my copy! Now make sure you two don't get in a bidding war!

[xsmommy]

i do not engage in ebay commerce!

[Bella_Bru]

Goodness...you said that like an anti-WFTD'er might refer to our flirtations here.....

[NeoCaveman]

I heard Miss Whyisa tried to drain it through the tap....

She must really like beer.....
