First of all, to Satan and Drain Bead on their engagement! I know this comes late, but my old [peta.net](http://peta.net) e-mail address had a slew of technical problems which caused it to spit about a months worth of backed-up mail at me recently, so I just got the news in the last week. You guys are an absolutely terrific couple, and I’m really happy for both of you. Also, congrats to Libertarian and Edlyn, which I will also post in the proper thread! ---

Awwww…thanks, Phil. We were really sad that you didn’t post on our thread, because you are one of the few Dopers who has actually met us. Now I’m all happy. And you have a good excuse, so I’ll let you off the hook. 😉 ---

Thanks, Phil… I started a thread saying how happy I was to see you back, but since you probably missed it, let me say how happy I am to see you back! 😃 * * * Yer pal, Satan [http://www.raleighmusic.com/board/Images/devil.gif](http://www.raleighmusic.com/board/Images/devil.gif) _I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR: Two weeks, one day, 15 hours, 21 minutes and 8 seconds. 625 cigarettes not smoked, saving $78.20.
