Of course I flirt! I have always been a HUGE flirt ( on-line and IRL). I have never figured out why I flirt though. I don’t know if it is because I am an out-going person or I enjoy the getting and giving the attention. It’ fun and it is something my BF doesn’t mind because he knows it is innocent playing. 😉 ---

Yep I do flirt a bit on the board, depending on who it’s directed at. I have nothing against it as usually its in good taste and fun. Lately there has been some which I view in poor taste, but hey, thats just me. ---

Well, i get new ones every once in a while from normal sun exposure… so you may have to count them a few times 😉 No one has ever counted them all before getting too distracted… what would you like? a little “massage” maybe? ---

Nah, I don’t flirt. Nobody likes me enough to flirt back if I did flirt. What’s the point? One time I flirted and someone sent me an e-mail not to take her seriously. I was like “What? You took me seriously enough to e-mail me to tell me not to take you seriously and you think I need to be told not to take things so seriously? Seriously…” So, I never flirt. Just ask Falcon. Or ValerieBlaise. Or purplebear. Or SeaDiver. Or Kyla. Or kellibelli. Just a few posters whom I have never, nor will I ever, flirt with, especially in chat. You hear me? Never! Not even if they were to prostrate themselves before me, beating their breasts like some kind of crazed flagellants, and begged me to flirt with them. Not even if they were to writhe languidly on silken beds of smoky crimson desire like a circle of succubi hungering for my hearts blood would I deign to flirt with a one of them. Nor if they were to dress up like school-girls, plaid skirts, pig-tails and glasses and all, and do a strip tease to _Ragdoll_ by Aerosmith would I flirt. My resolve is iron. Too bad iron rusts faster when exposed to water, like in cold showers… ---

\*\* Cat saunters on into the room and looks over at Palmyra \*\* YOU HAVE NEW ONES! I’ve tried counting them all before 😃 \*\* Cat remembers how playful Palmyra can be \*\* You WERE to much of a distraction! Besides I figured that giving you my Up Most attention pleased you 🙂 But if you have new ones then I MUST find them! ---

I’m almost 31, single, and have five cats. Obviously, I don’t flirt that well IRL. So I do flirt here, a little. In chat I flirt mostly with Omni. On the board, I don’t flirt with anyone in particular, but Chief Scott has offered to do some very naughty things to me with ice cream toppings… ---

Did you get my latest e-mail? Looking lovely, as always. Sure, I’d like to pet your … just get that damned cat out of the way first.” (By the way, was that “just get the damned cat out of the way” thing an urban legend?)
