assistant: This is what Suzanne Stewart babbled to Tim Baer before I perverted it...
        Including down the front of my shirt the other day when I took a
sip...  Sheesh--I musta been full already.  {EG}
        Knowing, for me, is like a speed bump.  When I'm getting spooled
up, there is that speed bump of knowledge that says, "Hey--slow down.
you know WHY this is happening."  So, unless I allow it to happen now,
it doesn't.  =)
        No, not really...  I can understand it all.  Every now and then
I had to go on "walkabouts" to get away.  Not just a vacation, but go
somewhere else for a while.  That is why I got along with the Navy for
so long.  Every 3 years, new home, new job, new faces...
        Well, I can't say mine is the cleanest...  After we make up, my
drive to clean goes kaput.  <<Sheepish Grin>>
        Heh!   =)
        Yuck.  I need, nay CRAVE my chocolate!  Keep that diet away from
THIS hyper body!   =)
        Fish Savers?  Whazzat?  New flavor from Life Savers?
<<Snicker>>  Sorry--too good to pass up!  =)
        Lava lamps...  I haven't seen one of those in...  <<No, don't.
Let's not thnk about how many years...>>  <<Shudder>>  Is there a place
that still makes them?
        Coolness.  Feel free to write.   =)
        Okay.  Can't use my offline for it.  It's too long.  Will have
to do it online--so mind my typos.  =)
        Hehehee...  Better!   =)
        Ciao!
