**dwala**! I saw you over in my Welcome Wagon Thread. Had I known you were a friend of **Guinny’s** I’d have been nicer to you! Just keep in mind, pretty much anything I say you should take with a grain of salt. Much of what I say on the boards I mean tongue-in-cheek, so don’t take me all that seriously, m’kay? ---

Thanks again, everybody! Crunchy Frog, I haven’t read your post in response to mine, but I did read the rest of the thread, and I’m a big girl. I knew what I was signing up for, and I’m glad you’re willing to play with people you’ve just met. Now, I must go hurt you. 😉 ---
