Considering we’re both ticklish, shouldn’t we call a truce? I mean, a weapon is only good if you’re not vulnerable to it, right? On the other hand, I’ll have to think up new ways to get my hands on you.😃 :💏: “Make it a good shrubbery!” [sub] 2097. Yay![/sub] ---

Ahh, but this sort of weapon is much more \* fun \* if both of us are vunerable 😃 ::escalating tickle war:: Well, it’s a short drive into Nevada where there’s plenty of shrubs…there must be a respectable shubber in there somewhere… [sub] 2102. Yay![/sub] ---

::yelps:: I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned this yet- whenever enilorac tickles me, if it totally catches me by surprise, I let out a little high-pitched yelp like that. She finds it amusing. Of course, I retaliate… as I will now! ::chases after Myrr, tickling the back of his neck:: “Let’s not go to Camelot; 'tis a silly place.” 😃 [sub] 2107.

Yeah, I really gave my browser what for after that one 🙂 Hmm, is this going to be a new page? ::happy kisses:: ::making sure all fruit is safely in the cooler:: ::tickle:: Yeah, the lake was neat…really pretty with clear water and all.

::giggle:: Gourmet meal here, mon cher. I’ve got some cold canned ravioli to go with the raspberries! Mmmm, they’re still good after a few days in the cooler… Oops, I’m talking to a puddle.

Chocolate cake! Yes, please!! Hey, any Cool Whip and raspberries left? That’d make a great little garnish. That’s okay about your puddlehood. I could come to be quite fond of puddles. :💏: I brought you a rose from my little garden. It’s a white one. I’d have brought one from my yellow climber, but the bloom is fading. And don’t worry, there aren’t any thorns. 🙂 My my, a flower in his hair, and he’s still a handsome devil!

Let’s see…chocolate cake: check…rasperries: check…cool whip: check…Houston, we have dessert… Hmmm, if you’re going to kiss me, then maybe I’ll abandon this puddle thing after all 😉 :💏: Ooh, a white rose? I don’t think I’ve seen one of them before…it’s purty 🙂 ::dancing kisses:: (not sure what that means, but it sure sounds like fun ;)) he’s Sir Robin the not-so-brave-as-Sir-Lancelot And then there’s the the aptly named Sir Not-Appearing-in-this-Film [sub] 2212.
