Oh, I need to give kudos to **Agent Foxtrot** , just cuz he’s a super nice guy, and cute too (don’t worry Mississippienne, I’m hitched ;)). **Aesiron** is a sweetie too. 🙂 ---

Bettina has a little red collar and leash. I only walk her indoors though, I’m afraid to take her outside in case a hawk swooped her up or something…:eek: Even people who don’t really like rats can’t resist the extreme cuteness of the teeny collar. 😃 ---

> [@TheOnlySaneOne](#): > > No crushes on lil ole me. Le dramatic sigh. Fret not. This thread seems to be the environs of younger, new-ish Dopers. In older Dopers minds, you no doubt have several, if not one, fans. That sounded odd, didn’t it? But, really, the dynamics of the board forums change over time. Where many of us once stayed for days on end in MPSIMS, currently that forum is filled with kids and new moms. They make a lot of noise and recognise each other easily. We haven’t been completely forgotten, we’re just part of the gigantic background of the New Dope. I doubt that more than 10% of those posting in this thread even know 2/3rds of the Dopers I named in my post. So, don’t get down for having no or few mentions, just look at it as life going on. ---

Seriously attractive couple you two. I think the light is just better in the Southern Hemisphere! 😉 This seems pretty long (four pages now) for a flirt thread. If anyone’s said nice things about me, then right back at you, especially **Faithfool**! If not, then fie on ye! 😃 ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > So, don’t get down for having no or few mentions, just look at it as life going on. I, for one, have easily divined the reason my name has not been mentioned here. Clearly, the numerous lovely Doper women who are deperately crushing on me have all come up with the same clever plan – namely, to avoid mentioning it so as not to give the _rest_ of the Doper women any ideas, and thus to have me all to themselves. So, to these women, I applaud your cleverness and your ingenuity, and I fully understand your desire to keep quiet in public. But do feel free to e-mail me privately to express your love and devotion / burning desire / nekkid pictures. 😃 ---

And for the record… (answering the OP): **kimera** – visually, one of her pictures (yowza!) seems to stand out in contrast to some of her posts (in an intriguing way). I’m sure I’m not the one she mentioned hitting on, though. oh, woe and alas… 😉 **SusanStoHelit** – likes sci-fi, Pratchett, and partner dancing, too. Be still my beating heart! **XJetgirlX** – but she didn’t resubscribe. I liked seeing her around the boards. **raz** is definitely a cutie, too. Now I just need a potion to get 10 years younger. Let’s see… who did I forget…? ---

Um, thanks, **Sunspace**. _blushes_ It’s mutual, m’dear. Good luck in your pursuit. You know, I always thought that “pursuit of happiness” bit was unnecessarily weaselly. **AP** , you’re very pretty. Very! **AFG** , you walk your rat on a leash? That is too cute. Have you a picture of this? I also think **Monstre** and **ronincyberpunk** are hot, but I think I’ve been in this thread enough. I like a lot of folks, what can I say? ---

I was totally going to mention you too, **Monstre** , but for some horrid reason I forgot. I feel like I always run across your username on threads that I post to. Then I see your name and think stupid stuff like, “hey, I know that guy!” when actually I don’t, ya know? ---
