Yikes **Uke**! Now you’ve let the cat outta the bag! I wonder if they’ll let me keep my back issues now that what lurks behind all those eye-glazing titles is out.

Welcome back amongst us, **Eve**!

Whew. I am SO glad you’re back, **Eve!** I tried to be beautiful AND classy AND smart, but damn, that’s hard work! How you folks do it I will never know. Is there a course somewhere that I can take?

I for one am as least as interested in the unspeakable and unprintable portions of the Saga that is Eve. 😃

I’d no idea you just turned 21. See what a good public school education gets you? A successful and highly interesting published author !! Wow!!! Happy Birthday, Eve ! 😉

I’m sorry, I really have no idea how those negatives of my weekend of debauchery wound up in your agent’s hands. You have to admit, I look pretty damned hot in a pinafore.

And, that’s not a lollipop… --pan–

It’s a trilogy. After the two aforementioned tomes, the whole thing gets tied up very neatly in Perspective Penetrations, or What The UPS Man Did. I highly recomment the series. Illustrated by Maurice Sendak. 😃

I dunno about that ☹

We all are good, and now we are great. You have been missed so very keenly, dear **Eve**. Know that you are welcomed back into the cabal with great affection and joy ( and no, I don’t wanna cram you into the trunk of my minivan. 😃 )

**UkieBABY!**

So glad to see that you and all the other NYers made it through. You were in my thoughts and prayers… and, in your case, sex dreams.

You are NOT going to believe this, but I’ve been thinking of you lately Eve, and wondering how you are.

It’s SO damned good to see you around here again. I thought of you just this morning when I almost commited a violent act against my baby-talking co-worker.

Zette, is that why my ears were burning? And I thought it was just the wind shifting from Ground Zero. MY baby-talking coworker (Pwincess Pwecious) has actually been SINGING “Itsy Bitsy Spider” for the past few minutes. Blood WILL be shed before the day is out.

Canthearya, dear, would you like me to turn on some mood music and exit the thread quietly, eyes shielded, so you and your Gentleman Friend can go to it?

Just wanted to pop in here and say as the rest,  
good to see you back on the board.  
I’m sure many has missed you,  
becuase you’re one of the smart, fun and quick-witted here.  
Hope you’re doing fine.🙂

“Oh yeah, about that, Eve: you’re out of Coke.”

—Umm, Fiver, the jar of brownish liquid in the fridge, behind the A1 Sauce? That wasn’t Coke . . .

[sub]Oh, geeeeez, put my foot in it AGAIN[/sub]

Er, the “be still, my heart” comment made earlier meant “Oh BOY! Not only is **Eve** back, the smartest cutest Irving Berliniest most knowledgable and discerning babe on the Board, but so is **Canthearya** , the _second_ most!”

It did NOT mean “I’m ignoring **Eve** and saying nice things to **Canthearya**!”

While I’m at it, the “Sidles in quietly and sets out a dish of cream” comment in the OTHER thread should be read as “Oh, MAN, she’s BACK, this sinuous and exotic and fascinating creature (like a cat, see? The ‘dish of cream’ thing is supposed to make you think of a CAT), so I’m going to step around VERY QUIETLY and try to lure her into staying by putting out special treats (hence “dish of cream” rather than ‘dish of milk’)!”

Oh, for goodness sake, you may feel free to “yank my chain” as much as you wish.

I had my chain surgically removed back in April, so you’re not yanking at anything but plain air, anyway.
