I loved the video, and I could tell you and Willow were “connected” right away! It must be a kind of “nirvana” for you to establish such a contact? I _love_ people who have that symbiotic relatonship with our other “planet-dwellers”, and I have saved that video to show to friends. Thank you **very** much! 🙂 Bill ---

Quasi, I wish I could say that is me with her, but that is her old owner. I just bought her, she won’t be here until Thursday. I fell in love with her because of that video, and I fully expect Willow and I to be doing that and much more. My animals do tend to follow me around though, I have posted some of my videos here before. /hijack over. ---

Then you spend the rest of the night in your friend’s car, until your friend finally comes out with “a girl he just met” (that is actually your ex) and needs you to drive. Your friend is staying with you, so you spend the entire night listening to your friend bang your ex girlfriend (who you still love) in the next room. You cry yourself to sleep at 5 AM and go to work the next day at 7:30. You stub your toe on the way in to the office. Man, I HATE it whenever that happens. Especially stubbing the toe. ---

Okay, well… Willow is pretty, her “ersatz-you” is cute, so - never having seen you - I conclude that you must be ein Heisses Mädle! (“ **Hot** Chick”:)) as well! Before I exit, may I ask you to link me to thosE videos you mentioned, please? I love horses and learned to ride on an old grey mule we called “Ed”. I rode him on a real cavalry saddle! 😃 Thanks Bill ---

ESAD, February. Every damn second month of the year I resent that I live in Chifuckingago, and I need March ASAP in order to hear birds and see grass and leaf shoots and convince myself I don’t need to move out of this hellhole. ~Atomicflea, who hates Chicago all Winter and falls in love again in the Summer. ---

Fuck YOU, February! AND the horse you rode in on! You are a two-fisted hamster throttling piece of dung retention as far as months go! You slime ball!!! Oh, man, that feels so much better. What I have been missing by not posting in this forum. I feel so empowered now. ---

Yep. I nearly didn’t make it through last February, and vowed it was the last one I would ever spend in Ireland. I’m in Oz now so I hope this will be the first of many Februarys where I’ve actually felt OK. Hang in there, Feb haters. Not long to go now. It’s always when I see the first daffodils out that I know it’s over at last. (And my birthday is March 1, which helps.)
