I bet you’ll keep the deoderant away from the back of your neck from now on. Sometimes the lessons best learned are the painful ones.

I still chuckle when I think about that thread, though.

No, I didn’t have any problem with my neck. Thank goodness, or the rash would have been quite visible.

Oops, we’re OT.

No, there isn’t. The word _dicomfort_ means “being comfortable in two different positions”. Everyone knows this. 😃

Well, I guess it’s a step up from vanity searching, which I do far too often…

I’m going to change my sig…

**Diane** thinks I’m hot stuff and wants monkey sex from me!

Thanks **dantheman** … eternally grateful for your oh-so-satisfying input. 😉

(Who, me? Trying to make someone’s sig? Nahhhhhh … )

She might not, but if she knows that sigs change retroactively… she just might pick up on it. 😉

</div>

But that last one’s not a sig. It’s part of the post, so she’ll never see it unless she pops back in here.

**Maureen** , on the other hand, will see herself in my true sig … but she hasn’t been in here yet!
