Hmmm…for someone who swears I do all the smacking around, you’re particularly vicious this morning…
:sigh: my own fault for jumping in before I’d had my coffee. Going to get it now. Carry on, kids…
Hmmmm, Maureen? You are being awfully nice to everyone…didja get laid last night or somethin’ ? And Dave? You ARE being vicious!! But I shouldn’t complain I guess, you aren’t being vicious to ME!!! (bat’s eyes innocently) - then again you haven’t talked to me since y ou’ve been back…you mad at me again big bear? or just forgot about me?
Okay, mipiace, color me confused. 
Work be damned, I think I must respond to this.
mipiace, dear, I offered you support and a shoulder to cry on. I may “play” on the boards, but email is real and sincere. I stand by my word and offer. But I have not received an email from you since that time asking for support, thoughts, or advice regarding your breakup with the Studmuffin. What I got was your email questioning my friendship and the legitimacy of my offer. I was under the impression that we cleared up that misunderstanding. All I can do is apologize for anything I have done that implied I was ignoring you. You should know me better than that.
Hah. No such luck. Smack in the middle of a dry spell. But, being around you guys always cheers me up, eventually. Which is why I am back, mocha in hand, with a much cheerier outlook than when I first grumped in. Sorry for snapping, dear one, as I said…my own fault for not having coffee first. 
Don’t worry about it Rocky - ignoring me seems to be a habit from men named David born on Sept 18th. I dealt with it once, it will be much easier with you! 
Oh and I DID send y ou another email…maybe you didn’t get it. Don’t know what happned…I’ll check and see if it didn’t go or something.
Children, children!! No arguing or you’ll have to leave the tub. Rocky, dear, please don’t be so cold. I’m sure mipiace didn’t mean to offend you with what she said. Sorella, I know that last remark was made in haste, because it was the first thing that entered your mind, and you were feeling a leetle defensive, because you didn’t know you had inadvertantly hurt Rocky’s feelings.
All the men in this thread, without exception, are very sensitive people, who tend to fire at the first perceived insult. Even though they should know by now, we Babes wouldn’t hurt any of them for the world. Kiss and make up, kids, huh? Today is turning out to be Monday for the fifth time this week, and Saturday isn’t looking much better…I’ve pulled weekend duty for my boss.
Now. While we’re about it…sorella, are you having as bad a day as I am? Is that why all the short temper? Tell mama all about it. Email if you want.
Oh, I think all of the men in this thread have been very supportive and sweet, along with sexy, clever and witty, and have taken any ribbing with style and humor. And I can’t imagine rockin rocky would be no less so in email, but of course that’s a private matter between the two of you.
Bwahahahaha
So THAT’s what was why there was an extra space between the letters on the wall! All us kids in sch ol just thought they messed up the spacing! There was supposed to be another “O”???
Wow! What an amazing thing to learn!
Wow!!! Bwahahahaha … [size=1]*bows, yet again, at the feet of his *sensei.
:smack: any less so in email…does that make more sense?
Oh, you all know what I meant!
*damned double negatives and cutting and retyping…
*makes mental note, next posting lesson for Wyatt will be on trimming unnecissary dashed lines from quoted posts 
Red headed Italian checking in. Irish from the 'ma, Italian from the pop. We REALLY stick out at the Italian family reunions.
NO, I didn’t mean to hurt his feelings, I was ribbing him but he did dis me in email several times by ignoring me. We did kiss and make up I guess and I am very sensitive about the matter because of my own David ignoring me. Sorry for calling you a duck Rocky. Accept my apology?
Yeah all the guys here are squishy. and sensitive. I’m having a bad week. My Dad is getting really close to the final curtain - No I don’t want to talk about it -AT ALL. I could really use someone REAL here and I don’t want to call anyone I shouldn’t be thinking of calling…cuz I’ll just regret that but I hate being alone, I never was very good at that.
Screw it, I’m throwing a birthday p[arty for a 7 year old this weekend complete with kids and grown ups and a pinata. But I really need a hug because life is really too short to spend alone but I do a really good job of running everyone away and up until now I don’t think I have really ever cared about that.
(((((((sorella))))))). Don’t be sad, honey.
Always happy to service…be of service to a lady.
Well, that wasn’t smacking, that was teasing, but I’m sorry if you thought it was vicious. You had to know I was going to pick up on those straight lines, though.
You apparently missed where I congratulated you on dumping the muffin, when I first came back. I haven’t been ignoring you. But, I think you’re being overly sensitive to both my teasing Maureen, and Rocky’s response regarding the emails.
Yes, we all knew what you meant. If we can interpret Wyatt’s and mipiace’s posts, yours are a piece of cake. So, don’t be so hard on yourself. Besides, it blows the sultry image, when you smack yourself on the forehead.
Hi, sj. Welcome to the madhouse.
Here’s another {{{{{mipiace}}}}}.
((((((((((((((((Mipiace)))))))))))))))))))) Huge hugs hon.
((((((((((((((((((((mipiace}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
[size=1]uh oh, looks like i’ve been carrying the kids too much on one side. got to even that hug out[/size=1]
PINMF - if i spent all my time previewing, that would give the hamsters more to eat. which doesn’t seem to make them stronger or anything.
(((((Mipiace))))
mipiace, babe, no apology is necessary, but yours is accepted. You didn’t hurt my feelings, though you did puzzle me and put me on the defensive. I apologize profusely for coming across as so indifferent. Many, many HUGE hugs to you, dear. I never intended to diss you for any reason. If you have sent me any emails today, I will reply this eve.
