I think we've got the mold licked - now that we know where it's coming from, should be able to control it BEFORE it happens again.

[RikaStrom]

The pic of you, me and Rika makes me look like I'm pregnant.....

Nah, but I wish I got a shot of you in the leather miniskirt and boots. I'm seriesly jealous of those legs! Oh, and should we tell them that that particular photo was taken on Commando Friday? ;)
