No I don’t. In fact how much do you want for that one?

However, I saw this and thought of you.

No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful.

I’d ask for one, but, being in the unfortunate position of not knowing anyone here, I’ll have to resort to using my own grey matter. Oh well. Better go pick it up from U-Haul Storage.

Well it was tough, but I revved up my telepathic circuits amd delved into your memories about that long long ago trip to Russia, back when your butt was tighter, and summed it all up into one simple reversible phrase.

Natasha? Ah, Satan!

Thank you for using Verrain’s Sig Serivce, where you get what you ask for, eventually.

Sorry it is just impossible to look cosmopolitan and studly, and use the word Brobdingnagian. You’ll have to choose which is most important.

As you have left it completely open to me, I throw out some random things for your consideration.

Ummm, 'scuse me, kind sir. Yes, you, Mr **Verrain**. If you would be so kind, if you could possibly find the time, that is; I would be most appreciative of a sig from you. Tell you about myself? Hmmm. I don’t really like to blow my own horn. What would you like to know?

Perhaps a short list, if that is possible, might be in order, for you to choose from.

I love to flirt \<long as Mr Bear doesn’t mind\>  
love stuffed animals, 'specially teddy bears  
love Flutterbys, called them that since I was a kid \<adore Obsidian Flutterby’s name ;)\>  
unicorns, dragons, and other assorted supposedly mythical creatures  
have my very own special Knights to watch over me and rescue me \<and graciously overlook how often they must do the second and how closely they must do the first at times\>  
I love to flirt  
Hugs! I am proudly a Hugaholic  
I’m a military brat, and adore men in uniform  
I love to flirt  
I’m old enough to know better and young enough to do it anyway 😛  
roses are my favorite flowers, next to Lilies of the Valley  
heck, any flowers are great  
I have been known to bribe for chocolate  
I’m told I have ‘incredible cleavage’, though I of course would never be so crass nor self-absorbed enough to look  
friends mean a great deal to me, and I fail all too often at telling them that  
did I mention I love to flirt?  
'Tis to be hoped this will be enough for you; if not, ask for any clarification you may require, my dear.
