Nor me. I just can't think of the little guy in such pain and turmoil.

Oh my God.....I've lost my sense of humor!

[tpaine]

You two are free to dream on. Just keep a civil tongue, and we'll get along fine.

You flatter yourself madam, in thinking that seadragons have 'mates'.
They are well known to be like mules, in both temperment & abilities.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

You said that so much more eloquently than I....... and I claim to be a writer.........

Hello, lovely Rika! Nice to see you here today.

[Gabz]

And you dare talk about others?

You invaded OUR thread - not the other way around.

It is obvious you are unfamiliar with the classmates - but I will give you a hint - WE PROTECT OUR OWN.

[SeaDragon]

You flatter yourself madam, in thinking that seadragons have 'mates'. They are well known to be like mules, in both temperment & abilities.

Is that a fact?

If it wasn't for the fact that you are such a weasel, I would be insulted by your crassness.

[.30Carbine]

Not today.

Not this thread.

Go away and forget this thread even exists.

[SeaDragon]

Thanks Gabz.
