I got caught in the rain yesterday. I left my umbrella in my building (or so I thought) and it started raining really hard on my way to work. I waited in my car for it to let up before I made a run for the office building. By the time I got to the doors I was completely soaked. I know that get drenched didn’t have anything to do with it. I’m sure there was a little bug just waiting for a reason to spring into action. But now I think I’m getting sick. the left side of my head feels like it’s going to explode and I have that not sick but feeling yucky feeling. I want my mommy and she lives in Austin. ::sniff:: I have no reason to post this, just thought I’d share with the rest of you. ---

Grace - are you sure it wasn’t those wretched puns that made you sick? {{Grace}} - go have some nice hot chicken soup and curl up with a good book. ---

I’d love to go home and curl up with a good book. But if I do that, who’s going to baby me and bring me soup? ---

Well after popping 4 advil and drinking hot tea all day, I’m starting to feel normal again. Thank goodness because I can’t afford to be off from work. Oh I have plenty of days, 90+ at last count, but I just know my work will pile up while I’m out. ---

I sympathize, Grace. As the writer/editor of a daily newsletter, I’m in the same boat. Taking the day off doesn’t mean less work for me…I just have to cram that day’s work into the days on either side. But enough about me, let’s talk about you. What do YOU think of me? ---

Did you notice that Ag came naked to rjk’s post party and complained about his shiny white ass? I’m wondering if we can talk him into doing an Omni and proving to us just how white his ass gets! ---

As pale and skinny as Ag is, he better not show up naked with a white towel wrapped around his head or people will think he’s a giant Q-Tip. (Ag, now you’re all set for next Halloween. No charge.) ---

_pretends to be aggrieved_ I just don’t believe that pushy Lynn Bodoni. She’s requesting a SPECIAL meal, like I’m an airline or something. Just because she’s allergic to pepper. Sheesh. Let’s uninvite her. (JUST KIDDING, Lynn…I don’t mind accomodating you - but ONLY if you drop that plan not to kiss anyone with tongue at the party.) ---

My point exactly. If Lynn wants to be truly accepted into this group, she’ll suck face with Grace just like the rest of us. ---

Sucking face, eh? So far JimB’s the only one to work up the courage to try it. Now that my “not-so-little” secret is out, I’m not sure the rest of you will give it a go. Now the Dallas Dopers are going to suffer from :cough: penis :cough: envy. ---
