You jump in first–tell me how cold it is. I don’t want to freeze my _ahem_ off. ---

I think you should jump in first. We could either determine the temp by the “Shrinkage Factor” or by the hardness of nipples, your choice. ---

> [@](#): > > dropzone, damn, you are smooth… **AudreyK** , I fear that I have been neglecting you on this, your birthday week. I won’t allow myself to be distracted again, whether by a troublesome troll or a jealous woman. My eyes are on you alone; your skin, as soft as the ocean’s breezes; your eyes, as dark as night and flashing like moonlight off the ocean’s waves; your lips, as full and inviting as a newly-opened orchid. Yeah, I can dish it out, can’t I? If our friends in Ireland could refrain from accusing me of perpetuating offensive 19th century stereotypes of Irish people as sweet-talking liars and rogues I’d say that I had the gift of the Blarney, but they can’t so I won’t. ---

::grinning happily:: Don’t worry, I’ll scare off Chiefy (well, I probably couldn’t, but I’ll throw a few more smilies at him in hopes he’ll turn away in disgust :D:D). Now then, which way is that booth? 😉 ::kissing neck:: Wheee! ---

::whispers:: Scotti, you have something planned, don’t you? Cement shoes? Whips? Leather straps? Tell, tell!! Thanks, dpr! ::hug:: There’s beer in the cooler, unless soda’s consumed it all.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dropzone \* > \*\*\ > > Sorry it took me so long, **Scotti**. The family room is much improved, I had to battle a troll, and Tubagirl was checking in with news from her wedding.\*\* No problem, hon, I didn’t get back on yesterday. Went to a BBQ and went to bed early. I went back to work today after vacation, and had to be there even earlier than my normal 7AM starting time. I did catch your troll battles, and methinks you conducted yourself honorably. I have taken the very good advice friend DRY gave me, and am staying out of flame battles, or I would have posted my support. But then, you know you always have that, darlin’! > [@](#): > > \*\*\ > > Your beauty overwhelms me. Your voice sings of a breeze blowing through the Highlands. The blush of the heather cannot compare with the roses in your cheeks. Your eyes are the blue of a Highland sky at mid-summer.\*\* drop baby, you are one lyrical man. Are you by any chance Irish? Well, no matter. This is quite possibly the most romantic and sweet and, well, **BLUSH INDUCING** thing that anyone ever said to me! I was just a about to post to Chef Troy’s love letter thread, telling him not to bother with me after all, since I had just been serenaded by the **TRUE** master of the love letter, when my besotted gaze fell on this- > [@](#): > > \*\* If your eyes are brown, well, I would suspect you were lying about being a redhead, but we could make sure. > \*\* Sigh… So much for romance on the SDMB! But, thank you so much. You made my day, and as you can see I have edited out the green eye statement (mine are blue) and am going to read this every time I am having one of those low self-esteem days. You are a sweetheart!

Happy very belated birthday Audrey. Again, very sorry. I hope you had a very good B-day. Ummm, let me see, what could I give you. All I seem to have around me is paper and other office supplies. How about I just give you my love. Hey, what can I say. It’s cheap and I’m broke. 😉 ---
