**JimB,** am I going to have to speak severely to you? Sheesh…flirting belongs in MPSIMS. Oh, wait a minute, that is where we are. Well… Still, this thread is about **Ag** getting better. Oh, wait a minute, **Ag** would be cheering you on. Well, I give up. Flirt all you want! I do have to say that you have an awfully attractive accent… Scotti ---

Hey **Ag** , I hope the contents of this thread are being related to you. Anyway, I checked in last night and I’ll check in tonight; I hope you’re progressing towards recovery. The world needs a few more like you, pal. Get better. Best wishes, beatle ---

And let’s not forget that having a tube down your throat will help you learn to suppress your gag reflex, which will come in handy in case someone else cooks at a DFW dopefest one of these days. ---

I just got this a few minutes ago from Kevin, Ag’s boss: > [@](#): > > I stopped by at lunch hour to visit Mike again… he had a rough night last night, they were hoping to remove the tube in his nose but he threw up in the middle of the night, so this afternoon he’s getting a lower GI [that’ll teach him!]. But he was in pretty good spirits this afternoon, cutting up with us as best he could. He’s been getting marginally better every time I’ve seen him. > > I am stopping by the hospital after work… we’re loaning him a laptop, so if he has the strength for it, he’ll be able to RAS into the office and hit the boards. But I am sure that will depend on how he feels. I have printed out the “Thoughts for Aglarond” thread on the SD boards and I will drop it off for his reading pleasure this evening. Thanks for the update, Kevin. Ag, keep on getting better, guy. We want you back to your ol’ self as soon as posible. Jim ---

Last night I looked at the Christmas pictures that our own dear **Cheffie** put in the photo album. There sure are a lot of pictures of Aglarond in there. What a camera hog! 😉 Anyhoo, we’ll have to have a party once he’s feeling better because a gathering just isn’t the same if he’s not there to tease. Hope you’re feeling better today **Aglarond**! ---

Um, **Ag** honey, I assume you are reading this, and I am sending you prayers and positive healing thoughts. And you may need to consider this…poor **Chef Troy** seems to be in need of a bolstering of his self esteem…😉 I think you need to get better, so you can get to a point where you can let him cook for you, so you can tell him he is an EXCELLENT chef, a REMARKABLE chef, a chef EXTRAODINAIRRE! The poor man NEEDS you, **Ag!** Get better soon! Scotti ---

I just noticed this. You’re aren’t hinting that I’m a terrible cook? You know I did offer to host the next party. I said I would host a party once my out of town guest, who’s been there almost six weeks, leaves. Hi Scotti! ---

Hi backatcha, **Grace,** you are a dollface and a dearheart! Love you dearly… And please feel free to ignore **Chef Troy** …he is just jealous because you are such a good cook. 🙂 ---

**Cheffie** is a better cook and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Trust me! That man is good! But I love you for saying otherwise. ---

Hey, girl! Chef’s good, but he can’t win by default. Not being a creole cuisine fan, you could get a lot of points from me with grilled steak or bbq. Jim ---

Just got this update this morning from Kevin, Ag’s boss: > [@](#): > > I just spoke iwth Mike this morning… he’s is getting out of the hospital around noon… he has all the tubes out and has been eating pudding, jello and pureed foods. He’s headed to his parent’s house to get stronger. He’ll probably be back “online” very soon, though. Ag, good to hear that you are going home. Looking forward to hearing from you again. Jim ---

Grace, I was NOT aware that you’d offered to host the next party. I wasn’t dissing you. by all means please cook. I’m sure it will be great. Jim, I promise that the next time I host, I will make some rice-free menu item. Guess that means no spanish food… the only things I make from that cuisine are arroz con pollo and paella. Maybe I’ll make beef stew next time. BTW, everyone, I have saved the Mardi Gras pix onto my hard drive at home and will be uploading them to photopoint as soon as I crop them and write the captions. Do you all think Palmyra will be embarrassed if I include the picture that makes it clear which of the party guests was pining for her? ---

Troy, don’t worry about me. Fix anything you like, I’ll manage. I come for the fun and atmoshere, not so much to fill my belly. And go ahead a show the pic that shows I’m lusting over Palmyra, unless you mean there are others, too. Jim ---
