I am stunned! And honored, and flattered. Husband, eh? He’s got to be a lucky man.

Oh. Oh, my. _blush_ Goodness, I didn’t think I’d been around long enough for anyone to take notice, or that my posts were notice-worthy.

As for me, I had a crush on **Hal Briston** even before I saw his picture. Too bad about the whole “married-with-a-kid-on-the-way” thing. And it is to my extreme annoyance that **matt\_mcl** is gay. _sigh_ Oh, and I’m ever single again, **AHunter3** is going to be the first to know. 😉

Yes, it was. It deserved a whole page by itself.

I get the pity crush!

YES!!!

My ambitions have been realized and I retire from the field.  
Anyone seen Father MacKenzie around?

I leave for a few days and get a whole thread devoted to me?  
Awww, so sweet. Must be my birthday. 😉

At least Anaamika still loves me…[sub]even if I’m 3rd on the list. :dubious:[/sub] 😛

Good heavens, young lady! You’re gorgeous.

What the hell are you doing here with all of us freak show rejects? :dubious:

Oh well, no accounting for tatse. 😛

And what did you do with your boyfriend’s arms? Got them stashed away somewhere, hmmm?

I love your sig line. Other than that, I don’t seem to end up in enough of the same threads that you do to be able to say anything else.

And besides, my Doper crush just became my Doper boyfriend so I’m spoken for. 😃

Because she seems scary smart, because she seems to have a lot of interests in common with mine, because her posts are invariably well-written and frequently quite funny, and because based on the one time she posted a picture she seems to be very much my physical “type,” I must admit that I get a secret little thrill when I come across **Draelin**. Of course, not only do I live on the opposite coast, but I’m married and I take my commitment very seriously, so, well, you know the drill. Still… How you doin’? 🙂

Aren’t you the one who walks their rat on a leash?

If so, then I lurve you just for that. I even told my SO, because I think that’s so cool.

On re-read, I probably should have said, “when I come across her **posts**.” Duhrr.
