No problem, ssskuggiii, it’s just that I’ve always made it my practice to question potential employers what their policy is on castration in the workplace. Sure, I’ve probably made a few bad impressions in interviews, but I figure that’s better than having any unpleasant surprises after I accept a job offer. ---

Oh, don’t you just wish! I’ll let you join my clique… you can bow to me, not the other way around… pervert! Sheesh! The NERVE of some people! I’m shocked, horrified, and yes, slightly titillated… but that’s not the point… The point is… uh, hmm… The point… Is… uh… you like leather do you? Cool! Now, do you have knee pads or do you want to borrow mine? 🙂 ---

Well, my faithful companions, I have returned after having to entertain my friend at my house for a few days, and will try to answer your questions, etc. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Byzantine \* > \*\*The point is… uh, hmm… The point… Is… uh… you like leather do you? yes, of course > [@](#): > > Now, do you have knee pads or do you want to borrow mine? 🙂 \*\* Sweetie, I’m in volleyball. What would I do without my trusty kneepads? [That reminds me: they probably need to be washed.] [QUOTE] _Originally posted by Iampunha_\*\* Hope you like my sig . . . \*\* Awww, that’s sweet. 😛 Remind me to add a gold star next to your name on my list.

It’s not like I sent this out by mail. 😛 [quote] **Tash, can I be the head love slave?** Well, now that this question has come up, I’ll answer it for all of you: nobody is above the others. That would be mean and well, if you’re a favorite, you’ll probably have known already. I’m not treating anyone different because I like them better or worse than anyone else. > [@](#): > > **p.s.
