Honeygrl, that's what Cyber does during the day. He probes things. Then he puts the probees into a chuck.

[SeaDragon]

I think we need a full panel of judges and atleast 3 photos of each for evidence.

Our decor, when we are finished with is going to be sort of a combination of hunting lodge and Texas/Southwest country, because the house has nearly all interior walls of rock or pine plank, with pine plank ceilings. Not a lot of choices there, but it's what we can afford, and it looks like it belongs in the hills, unlike a lot of the houses out here that look like someone wore a ball gown to a sheep shearing, if you know what I mean. I do have one semi-frilly room, though-the bedroom and bath our youngest daughter uses when she is here. It even has an iron bed and lace fan valances in the windows. Not my cup of tea, but we told her she could decorate those rooms any way she liked, so she did. I've got to go put spareribs on the grill 'cause hubby will be home in about an hour-back soon.

"We're waiting. "

I'm afraid juicey details would get me banned... but basic details couldn't hurt, right?

1. in a moving vehicle, with the driver.
2. In a dressing room stall at Macy's (or maybe it was Rich's?)
3. In a non moving vehicle at a scenic overlook
4. in a public swimming hole (a very very cold pond at the end of a river/creek/whatever it was) though no onlookers were around at the time (and this one wasn't too far from where Flurry and Laura Earl live)
5. a closet during a party at my best friends house

i know there are more.. trying to remember though... all were a long time ago since hubby became a prude after we'd been married a couple years

Let's move back to Alabama until after Sep 9.

[honeygrl]

wow those are gorgeous! Are those xsmommy's? They are orchids right? I LOVE whatever they are. I have no green thumb and murder any plant that I attempt to grow.

[Conspiracy Guy]

OK I just sent my pics.
