What about us guys that want to drink…err… pay our respects? Should we be in shocking gear? Do I need to make sure the buttless chaps are clean? Will there be snacks provided? Will any babies be baptized Luterun style?

I had seriously considered requesting that Mr. **Swamp** ington Bear attend resplendent in his Hooter’s outfit, but I didn’t want anyone to think I was obsessing. 🙂

Isn’t “clean buttless chaps” an oxymoron of some sort?

The Hooter’s outfit it is then! 😃 One should always start out with clean buttless chaps. Should they become soiled during the course of wear, well, that is another matter altogether.

**Le Sigh** , do I really have to wear seamed stockings, **shibb** , when the funeral will be in Flawduh and I’d much rather wear my shortest little black dress with my bare gams all tanned and lotion smooth as a baby’s butt?

Grampy’s not doing too well. My sister, Nurse Debbie[sup]TM[/sup], wants the hospital to do a pulmonary consultation on him. The hospital is all aflutter due to the shooting of three police officers who were ambushed when they responded to a domestic violence call. One of them is dead and the other two were taken to the ER in the hospital where Grampy is. Yesterday it was crawling with cops and guns. The guy that did it took off but they found him later and he ended up shot but was flown to ORMC. Anyway, I know I’m gonna have trouble finding a parking place again today. Told work they would have to deal without me until… ☹ FTR, Grampy is my dad.

That’s all I got for now.

We’ve got ourselves a flirtly little MMP here, don’t we? I’m not very good at that.

You don’t have to be good at it, just tell people you’re wearing Wonder Woman Underoos.

Stockings and seams and short skirts and oiled lady-gams… My brain is melting.

But really **Shibb** , you should love and respect the Lady MMPers purely for their brains and the goodness of their hearts. Like I do. The stockings and seams and short skirts and oiled lady-gams is all just icing on the… icing on the Lady MMPers…

I’m going to need some “alone time” now.

**Tupug** , I’m keeping you and your family in my thoughts. I hope all turns out well.

I have lots of um…flirty…stuff too, but I couldn’t wear any of it to work. Lets just say there’s a lot of black, red, and lace involved. I don’t have any short skirts, but I do have one dress that hugs me rather well. I haven’t worn it in awhile, maybe if I can drop 10 lbs or so, I’ll feel comfortable in it again.

**Kalley** , I happened to have to go to Rite Aid last and the Easter candy was out. Not all of it (way too many Peeps), but it looks like they are well on their way to stocking up.

I got my hotel confirmation for my San Diego trip in the mail the other day. Arrgh, they screwed it up, so I had to call them and straighten it out. I don’t have a fax machine at home so I need to call them today and have them fax the confirmation to me again. What bunch of dummies. The confirmation said 13 through 19 February when I had booked for 13-19 March! Furthermore, when the guy brought me up in the computer it was showing April. So far, I am NOT impressed.

Well, I need to straighten something out here at work. I called in a work order for installation of software on my computer (none of us have administrative rights), and they screwed up.

I’ll just be over here in the back observing,I mean, mourning quietly.

**Scout** , internet sales are (is?) in our plans, but needs to be worked out still. Thanks for asking.

Why are you mourning?

I am also interested in purchasing some of your products when you get internet sales going.l

I’ll see your knee-high leather boots and raise you a set of THIGH-high black leather boots. With three-inch heels.

I used to have thigh-high red suede boots, but you know, not nearly as classy.

Hmmm… I have biker boots, buttless chaps, biker hat, a leather jacket and a harness. I could wear that to the memorial service/beer bust.

I think I just topped my TMI personal best.
