Oooooh…I was wondering the same thing, Rasa. Think he’s already looked and is just teasing me? ---

I sure do, Nym. What man, Australian or no, could resist looking at your picture? Especially after all the good press you’ve gotten around here… ---

Rumours won’t do it nor will good press: I used to work in the media after all. Still yet to look but I must admit the temptation is gaining momentum. And I can resist anything except temptation… ---

Okay, dpr, what’s it going to take? You are oblivious to my feminine wiles, you won’t listen to reason and I have no way to tempt you from across the big water. Not on a public forum, anyway. ---

He’s not oblivious Nym. No man or woman could be. dpr, you might as well accept. You’re going to look at her picture. YOu can make it easy. And we can all get along and be friends. OR it can be painfull. But, in the end, Nymysys always wins. Just accept it. ---

Oh, I thought a different picture was being discussed. When he said he could see you nude I thought he meant in the picture. But I am willing to see you nude, as well. ---

I can solve the problem guys. I just need to print out you pic and paste it to his computer screen so when he next sits down he won’t be able to miss it. 😉 ---

Hrmmm…does he like brunettes or blondes better, **Wyld**? I come in both flavours. Currently a brunette, though. I’ll trust your judgement. ---

I give him a hard time about usually dating blondes but he swears to me that he actually prefers brunettes - so I guess you are safe either way. ---
