vanilla, You ever see that old Garfield cartoon? ā€œWyoming is Italian for ā€˜no state hereā€™ā€¦think about it. You ever meet anyone from Wyoming?ā€ (quoting from memory) I laughed pretty hard b/c it just feels so true. But yes I was born and raised in the good old equality state. ---

**WomanofScorn** , is your sig ā€œCan I help you? What I can do for you?ā€ from the elderly man in the Wal-Mart commercial? If so, thatā€™s funnyā€¦I always found that line amusing as well. If not, itā€™s still funny. ---

Another Newbie chiming in. (Iā€™ve already been welcomed, so Iā€™m heading straight for the hot tub. I have some wonderful aged tawny port to share, if anyone is interested.

I think I was welcomed back near the beginning, but my post count has gone up so exponentially Iā€™ve forgotten. I figger at this rate Iā€™ll hit a googol-post around next March and a googolplex-post six months later. For godā€™s sake, man, runā€¦run for your very sanity. And welcome. ---

This seemed as good a place as any to beef up my post stats. FWIW I got a newbie nod fairly quickly. And the hot tub is a pretty nice place to hang out and relax. Think Iā€™ll join Doebi back there. ---

[hijack]It was a windy night, **Darkhold**. Couldnā€™t see the barn for dust. When it cleared the whole 'addi family found itself over two mountain ranges and in the Emerald City (our little dog too). Snipers? Pffffff.

Wyatt- I have some really big feet so that massage might take a little while. And I am not actually in Bahrain (which makes me very sad to say) right now. I was supposed to be visiting there this month but , alas, I had to cancel. I am up north of you right now.
