Neither did I spell it “busums” I spelled it busoms.

Urban Ranger - “Can I have some of what you have been smoking?”

I don’t know, can you? I’d be happy to share with you as that is my nature and just one of the many things that makes me close to perfect.

To others: Come now, I did not say I was flawless, just close to perfect. Can I help it that I have so much to offer, something for everyone? Can I help it that I am smart, sweet, down to earth, giving, gracious and beautiful on the inside as well as the out?

You could help it if you wanted to…you could be less gracious if you so chose

or you could spellcheck

Aw I was sure I was the perfect woman.

You may be close…

Gracious? I can think of a dozen women on this board who match that very description. Know what makes them so wonderful?

They don’t go talking about how wonderful they are. Their admirers do.

Look through the posts of **Scotticher** and **purrplebear** and **nocturne** and **Jodi** and **Flami** and **Medea’s Child** and **Pucette** and **TruePisces** and **Biggirl** and **Geobabe** and **Ayesha** and **Lucretia** and … so many other women on this board, and you will notice that they are all those things you listed. Except they don’t talk about themselves as being all those things. They just _are_ them.

And you can ask anyone who knows them and they will tell you exactly what I just did.

Does missy have something against kids?

???

Astro, I don’t believe I mentioned modesty as was one of my attributes. I can be modest on occasion, when it is appropriate. That is part of my almost perfection . . .

Iampunha, you are the sensitive type aren’t you? It’s nice that you post all those sweet things about those that you admire. I assure you, it will keep you in their favor the more you suck up. Not sure if you are a guy or not but if you are, I would not count on al that sucking up to getting you laid tho . . .

astro, I working on those number of posts . . .

\*\* punha \*\* My love, I have told you not to say such things about me. Now everyone ( including that LIONsob) will know what we did ! Wink wink , nudge, nudge.)

\*\* AladyLikeNoOther \*\* I assure you that punha does not have to “suck up” to me to remain in my favor, he only has to give me hot sex or money. (Both would be even better .)

Well, it’s completely independent of any sweetness I have, but _something_’s working for me…at least, five minutes ago it was.

**Aye** , the, er, helping hand made of gold coins coins didn’t get to you yet in the mail? Maybe I got the address wrong…
