Hi, sorry to keep everyone waiting. The bailiffs came and seized my car, and I had to go pay to get it out of the pound. Fortunately it was only £500, and I carry that sort of money around as pants change. Now where’s the b… Oh, wait a minute. :smack: I signed the pledge last week.

(BTW, fellow hosts, before since we individually only have one guess for each partygoer, I suggest we put our heads together and talk it out before we use it. Three strikes and game over, after all. Let’s do this as a team.) ---

[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] Hey, would you look at that? I done got here first! 😛 **goes rummaging through ice bucket for a beer** [/QUOTE] Beer? Beer? You choose beer over the friut of the vine? Do you know that wine contains many antioxidents, and a glass a day helps prevent heart disease? You may think that crude drink helps you with the ladies, but wine gets you just as drunk, and look more sophisticated…actually it doesn’t look like these ladies need to be punished, so keep striking out, that’s fine with me and don’t get me started on those who suggested unAlcoholic beverages. OneCentStamp has only seen the tip of the wrath that awaits you all. Too early, I’ll drink punch, indeed! ---

[QUOTE=Anaamika] I was so irritated @ my brother this weekend. He and my family cause so much drama. Sheesh. [/QUOTE] If I were you, I’d definitely go in for counseling. It’s not good to keep these feelings bottled up, and if you explore your emotions, you can use these skills to build up your other relationships.
