I wonder if it is possible to have my own, private thread here, a thread that is just for me.

Well, sheesh – that’s a hell of a 400th post, isn’t it? Not exactly shedding light on any subject. And here I was planning to make it memorable – not a hijack of someone else’s thread. 😃

Okay, fine. Be that way.

I wonder if it’s possible to have a thread just for me … and Happy Lendervedder, and EddyTeddyFreddy, and her cats.

**EddyTeddyFreddy** hijacking a thread is a perfectly acceptable way to celebrate a posting milestone! 🙂

Gosh, should I make it a habit? Hijack a thread every hundredth post? Or would that be too greedy? :dubious:

Sure, **leechbabe**! There’s around 30 horses at the barn where I board – plenty to choose from. But would your cats feel more comfortable on a pony? We have some of them, too. Or how about a goat? A mini mare? A mini donkey named Dudley?

I will warn you to discourage your cats from attempting to attack the guinea hens, though – those birds are _MEAN_. Raucous, too. Lovely plumage, but their nekkid little heads and beady red eyes are kinda creepy.

- :: scurries around thread trying to catch cats to place on ponies :: \*

Hmmm this is going to be somewhat harder than I thought.

Perhaps I’ll just settle for watching the cats get whomped by the guinea hens.

I like those cologne gift sets that give you something else besides just smeels.

Like, when thay edd a backpack, or champagne glasses, or a keychain, or a watch.  
That’s usually how i find a new frangrance to purchase. If the cute chick at the counter shows me a gift set, I’ll buy.

That sounds like a double entendre.  
Cool  
Hey, cutie, show me your gift set [looks at her tits] 🙂
