Me? I’m very much looking forward to meeting the lady IRL, and disappointed that it ain’t happening this week. I find Heather’s posts sometimes silly, sometimes interesting. Her typography doesn’t bother me, because although I’m (usually) a very good typist, I know a lot of people whose intelligence I respect who are not.

Although I cannot prove this, I have occasionally suspected Heather of “doing a Sally Struthers” online – being a very bright and competent actress playing a ditz for laughs. Her insightful posts are _so_ good that when she’s goofing off in MPSIMS and posts something that begins “lol i think…” it seems like she’s doing a role.

Anyway, I find her a breath of fresh air, and I’m very happy that she and Brian have found each other. 🙂

Orange, im not sure how one comment garners me “coming across like a 10 year old” I have a great sense of humour thanks.

We are, each of us angels with only one wing;  
and we can only fly by  
embracing one another
