Just donā€™t ever seem to have anything to say; it seems thereā€™s a fine line between ā€œwitty and relevantā€ and ā€œlame and unfunnyā€ and I always second guess which side my posts would fall on, so Iā€™ve just been lurking. Iā€™ll agree with everyone already mentioned, and add **Silver Tyger Girl** to the list. ---

Weā€™re currently taking a break from gardening until I get a full-time job and we buy a home. And, yes, the back yard flooded for three weeks, which killed our giant pumpkin patch-- and most of the rest of our garden. It was not a good year for delicious, home-grown food. ---

I prefer to think that some of us have less obvious estrogen-laden usernames. Iā€™m always getting called ā€œdudeā€. Or maybe we just donā€™t wear our vaginas on our shoulders.šŸ˜› Iā€™m just not that flexible. ---

I knowā€¦ Iā€™m very very very very bad but she is awfully awfully awfully awfully cute. Itā€™s a very short list of women who donā€™t deserve mention here.

**dhkendall,** you are always so kind, but I realize if people donā€™t frequent MPSIMS, they probably have no idea who I am. . . I tend to just hang out in my little corner. But thanks! ---
