Oh **Jill** baby! I’m stunned.

I hope it wasn’t anything I said, was it? I was willing to work at getting used to it. It’s just like when a friend grows a beard. You adapt in time.

Well I suppose it’s too late to say that, in fact isn’t it?

What I should have said is this:

You’re a wonder and whatever you want to be called is okay by me, because I like you whoever you are. I like your style and taste and easy elegance. And you’re so brainy!

YOU GO, GIRL!

Insert here that “yabbadayabbada” noise that confused cartoon characters make as they shake their heads in an effort to clear their brains.

Anyway, Gats always have nine lives. 😉

For whatever it’s worth, I’ve always spelled it “oggidi-oggidi-oggidi.”

I know it’s bad form to post twice in a row, but it’s many hours apart, so bite me. I just had to observe that this:

needs to be added to a certain somebody’s sig. Don’t you think?

That’s Jill for you–one part Annie Oakley, one part Francis of Assisi. (CA)
