Whoosh, I think.

Always glad to see a reappearance by MOL. Funny and smart, altho I often worry about people who casually portray alcohol as something cool, or beneficial, or a dragon that they have the stones to handle. It makes me worry — often needlessly.

edit… I didn’t see mmm’s think before adding mine.

She’s the one who started that thread about the hyper-annoying singing style (think of a breathy female indy singer playing a ukelele and singing in a near-monotone voice). That thread must hold the SDMB record for being revived by new posters the most times. I meet MOL once at a Dope fest, and she seemed neither mean nor old.

At long last, a rumor about me that’s true. I had a good time in Chicago, but I cannot overstate how good it is to be home. Oh, how I have missed this town.

Or not so stealth. 😉 Hey, brag away.

Thank goodness. I was afraid the rodents got you!

Actually, I just assumed you had finally found a mean old man with the stamina to keep you distracted. . .
