**Ogre** _sigh_ even as **Wyatt, man of few words** ® it would take me 18 pages to 'splain it. Simple words, **D.Bear** is a man of great charisma, and has managed to draw many many many highly intelligent and attractive babes around him, here in this thread … and you know, where thecharisma to draw highly intelligent babes will be, so will be the students of those talents. Just imagine, 18 pages without a _single hijack_ and, trust me on this, you will have imagined something Entirely Different than this Thread. It is worth the read, but I warn you, before you’ve completed This thread, you will have had an additional 23 or so pages of another thread _S or S_ added to your required reading lists. Just set aside the time … _Raising his hand … er … uh … paw in **Salem** ’s direction_ Oh, Paper girl … ---

**Maureen** , Yesterday was my first time ever working as a “receptionist”, let alone in any form of dr’s office. It was fun though. 🙂 I’ve had a plethora of different types of jobs, but that was a first. **Optihut** , Looking at that page makes me realize how little I retained from my German classes in HS and college. LOL Cute puppy… you’re pretty cute yourself. 🙂 **Wyatt** , sorry about your summery going poof. (((hugs))) Frustrating isn’t it? ---

I already said you could sleep on the sofa. But, only when it’s not occupied by one of those highly intelligent and attractive babes. Besides, I think it’s more your zany humor that keeps them around than anything else. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Wyatt_ > **For those who are Bound to ask, that is NOT me on the left side of that picture!** Damn! Too slow, again! > [@](#): > > \*\*Lord knows, there are probably some folks on this thread who’d argue the thought that I hold my tongue at all! \*\* Well, holding tongues _is_ difficult. They’re slippery little suckers (god bless 'em!). I’ve always found the best way is to lightly clamp them between the teeth and…oh…_blush_…umm…you meant holding your _own_ tongue, didn’t you. Never mind. ---

I’m beginning to think that every time Dave starts a thread a mod get himself committed. 🙂 I bet they have a mods only board that has an 18 pager of ‘Oh my freaking OG… Davebear started another monster’ 🙂 And I am not cranky! You have not seen cranky! I’ve bee tolerating all of this as well as humanly possible considering the circumstances. Anyone who wants a good laugh just come on by and watch me try and put on a freaking pair of shoes! Then tell me I’m cranky! I get one lousy nights sleep and I have to catch up on 2 pages! I guess I should have just checked in every time I was up to pee… then it wouldn’t be so much. I don’t know why you need all that paper… just crate him! That’ll housebreak him right quick. I never took German but I second that Optihut is a handsome boy. ---

Hang in there Tanookie, it’s almost over. Not that you are actually going to be getting any sleep then either but at least you will wiegh less…what have you got left now, a month or so? 6 weeks? ---

If we make it to my scheduled surgery date I have 9 weeks. I am not sure they will let me go that far but there is at least a light at the end of the tunnel! Yeah I won’t get any more sleep afterwards but I will be alone in my body again. _yay_ ---
