Many of you think that Purplebear and Pipefitter are married to each other. How anyone got that idea, I have no idea. She and I are friends from way back (about 20 or so years), and if it weren’t for her, I most likely wouldn’t be posting here right now. I’m hoping our friendship stays the same as it has been for another 20 years. She _ **is** _ the most wonderful person I have ever met, and I thank her very much for being my friend. BTW…Just got an E-Mail from her, and she said she is enjoying herself at Vestal Blue’s home with him and his family. She also said to tell all the people on the board **“HI!”**. Let’s hope she has an enjoyable time and has a safe trip home! ---

You two should really consider marriage counseling. A nice couple like you should really stay together. 😉 ---

She may never win the Miss America contest, but **she is beautiful** in many other ways. So it is no wonder to me that so many here are taken with her.\* But don’t take her too far!\* ---
