I think you might be in one of those situations where it’s best to cut the dose in half.  
Or double it up and take the dream all the way.

I want to know more about the sinister “Nashville mail people” of whom the OP speaks. I had a nightmare last night about Nashville mail people creeping up on me in the dark. Let us pray that God blesses James Otto and all of us, and protects us from the Nashville mail people, always.

Yes, but what if?

And I am , of course, talking about this other, mail-thieving James Otto in Nashville.

^^^ There are two of them in Nashville, but since I know what you are really asking me, I would tell him that we have to be married first before we ever make a southern connection. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Well what they have done can be done by any mail person sadly. Sometimes other people’s mail have been put in my box. A package that was supposed to go to someone else was actually dropped off at my house one time.

Thanks for the link! Only that shot of him is like seven years old now. Go [here](http://www.flickr.com/photos/erichenderson/8178888027/) for a more recent shot of him! 🙂 🙂 🙂

God bless you three and James always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

But what if he came to you and said he had terminal brain cancer, had only two days to live, his wife was incommunicado in Paris, and his biggest desire was to have sex one more time before he died?

Now it sounds as if _you’re_ speaking in sexual code. And you misspelled “male.”

^^^ I didn’t miss spell that word. Mail is what I was meaning to say in the first place, like in the phrase “You got mail.”

God bless you always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

P.S. To answer the first part of your message, my reply would still be “No.” because I believe that the Lord’s word has to come first.

I always thought the expression was “You got male.” Something similar to “You go, girl!”

But what if James Otto said if you turned him down, he was going to find the Sleaziest Prostitute on Earth?

I’m really not sure how the OP manages to be both the sweetest and creepiest fan I’ve ever seen, but she’s nailed it. Cute l’il stalker!
