Hey Jaade,

Now that I know you a little better, I’m thinking that maybe we need to be painting chocolate nipple clamps on people, not just frogs, y’know?

sorry socks fans… time to root for the fishies? Hard luck, but I feel your pain

You know…you win the lottery and I might be convinced to let you paint and remove chocolate frogs for a number of years. 😉

No biggie ~grins~ I didn’t even notice because of the frogs…

Have a good weekend!

~hugs Dreamer~ Aww sweetie, you know we love ya. We redheads are just showoffs and blonds are vapid. Brunettes are every bit as lovely as anyone else.

Still have his phone number? I’d be happy to console him on your behalf. 😃

Hmm, I heard bad things about Courvoisier and Ripple sounded similar. ~grins~ I’m not well schooled in hobo alcoholic beverages of choice though, so I’d really be the wrong person to consult.

cheater. I’ve been wanting to make a milestone post for ages now, and you just bumped yourself right over the edge.

Well, as long as they’re chocolate…I’m not much for having things “clamped” to such sensitive areas…

Oh look! **dannyv** is back! And still…I have no mail…

Well, it _is_ his thread. We can indulge him in this, yes? Besides, he’s not nearly as cute when he’s pouting as we are.

_sigh_…I’m glad you’re here, honey.puts head on Jaade’s shoulder Today is turning pretty icky. Lots of milestones today, some of them not very pleasant, and I really need a hug…

Thanks all. And hugs right back to all of you. Especially you, **dannyv** ; I’m pretty sure you know what today is. You, and **Wyatt** , and **White Ink**. No one has started a thread, and I suppose on reflection, that it’s perfectly understandable why not. Also, it’s my baby brother’s 35th birthday, and I missed him by (I guess) a few minutes when I called this morning…

14 years ago tonight, at 5:07pm PST, alot of things happened to me that required much soul searching. I found reserves of strength I didn’t know I had. I saw things that I will _never_ be able to forget, both heroic and unbearably painful. I cried so many times I lost count. I lost my faith. I decided I was going to have a baby. And I dumped my fiance. All things that may or may not have happened eventually, but it took a 7.1 earthquake to make me realize that I needed to make some drastic changes, in my life and in myself. In a way, October 17th is my birthday, as well as my brother’s.

Sorry for the hijack, dear one; it really isn’t thread worthy, just musings that will be going through my head all day today.

Well, I guess they could both give you a hangover, but Courvoisier is one of the oldest brands of Cognac, and Ripple is swill.
