Hiya Scotti! I was wondering when someone would break down the door to our room! Flirting with DRY is still fun, but he’s not as sweet as Myrr here. ::tickles Myrr; Myrr collapses into puddle on floor:: Here’s your _reprieve_, hon! Really now, when’s the last time anyone got this silly with DRY? [sub]And he’s been a meanie lately! Did you read what he’s been saying to me?[/sub] Alas, yes, you’re right, we’re generating enough heat in here to cook a Thanksgiving turkey. With stuffing. Introduction of anyone else to flirting with Myrr, however, will be done over my dead body. :mad: 😃 Kidding! I can’t claim ownership of flirting rights to my new, dear friend. ::sigh:: Lookit my new sig, though! 😃 ---

Well then: ::tickle:: ---

I am humiliated and take myself out of the flirting competition. Your loss, but I am sure that Audrey will keep you quite happily occupied. Honest, hon, I was only trying to help.

Now don’t go get downcast…Audrey just has about 4 pages and 15 threads of precedent… …'sides, my name did derive from myrrh–a quirk of fate remoced the “h” (stupid screen name with an h was taken); I’ll get that bum… Err…now where was I? Oh, it’s too late to think 😕 ---

Yeah, but I’d always have to be fending off invisible ninjas who were after the wand, and then I wouldn’t have time to flirt with you ☹ See? It’s a good thing I don’t have one 🙂 ::giggle and roll around:: Back to tickling eh? Well then, I guess I’ll have to…oh…I dunno… ::tickle right back at ya:: ---
