[QUOTE=YaWanna] How exactly does one break into the MMP set? I’ve been meaning to, but it seems by the time I get here, it’s dauntingly long, and I worry that there’s some protocol that I have to read every single post through before I may post, and that might make it near-impossible (my Mondays and Tuesdays are extremely busy at work, and that’s where I post from). So, here I am, barging in and asking, hat-in-hand, may I please join the party? [/QUOTE] Welcome to where the cool kids hang. It’s much easier to follow if you look for each new one Monday mornings while it’s still young and only one page long. And while the rest of us have gotten by on virtual chocolate offerings, I think it’s time a newbie stepped up with the genuine article (for each of us, not just **FairyChatMom** ) ---

I forgot to tell you guys a funny anecdote. When we were downstate this weekend, the SO and his mom were talking about Mother’s Day. It went like this: Mom: “Well, you know, I really want you to come down for Mother’s Day more often.” SO: “I know, Ma, but it’s not that big of a holiday…a big deal is made out of it, but it’s kind of over-hyped. I’ll come down whenever you like, but the traffic is so bad!” Mom: “_15 hours of labor_ says you will come down.” Me: " :eek: " FTR, I actually agree with the SO - it’s a lot of traffic to deal with for a weekend, not to mention the 16 cops we saw **on the way down** , but the line was too funny to pass up. ---

Quit horning in on my territory!!! 😛 I did, actually, get real chocolate from at least one MMPer. How can that be? Where’s the love?? I’m _nice_, dammit!!! Welcome, anyway, **YaWanna**! All it takes is a post in the thread, and you’re one of the Cool Kids. Now don’t go doing anything silly like trying to make this a coherent thread. We don’t tolerate such doin’s here! 😃 ---

Yeah, yeah, **Mika** , you say that. And I’d be rushing to my mailbox every day, and soon my hopes would be crushed, and I’d be crying myself to sleep at night, but I’d have to put on a brave face here because I’m nice, dammit. No, that’s OK, I don’t mind. Really. It’s not important. Not at all. _\_ 😃 ---

Bats eyelashes? Is that some newfangled euphemism, like the bees’ knees or the dog’s bollocks? “Hey man, that shirt is the bat’s eyelashes!” Honestly, you kids confuse me.
