Fran, I’m sorry to hear things are oogy, but I’m rooting for you and wishing good things your way.
Puddin’, don’t be saddish,
enjoy a raddish.
A pudding raddish would be OK. Raddish pudding would be not so much good. I think the saddish/raddish rhyme came from a children’s book, but I’m not sure. Maurice Sendak I have a fair handle on.
So if you sail back over a year
and in and out of weeks
and through a day
and into the night of your very own room
where you find your supper waiting for you
You’re still hot.
Unlike tiggeril, I won’t be putting any bunnies down your pants. If you want me to put something down your pants, we can talk. As long as Alex Mark:B, The Extremely Adequate isn’t around. Or the Little Woman.
Nope. Won’t be putting anything in your pants with those two around. Wouldn’t be safe.
I guess I could put a nickel in your pocket, if I was sly. I’m not noted for my slyness. But for you, I’d give it a shot.
I might lick you though. If you were into that sort of thing. If not, then I wouldn’t. When it comes to licking comely lasses, I’m an old fashion gentleman kind of guy.
Not “Old Fashion” like a muddled teaspoon of sugar and a dash of bitters with an ounce of whiskey and soda to fill the glass with a cherry garnish.
Although I guess Soda could fill a glass. It’s not like that would be hard or anything. What she’d fill it with is your guess though. She’s just wild when it comes to filling glasses. Maybe. I’m not real sure. She might be wild. But your don’t want Sigge to fill a glass for you. I’m on pretty sound ground there. What with Sigge being a dog and all. A real cute dog, but a dog none the less.
Where’s this going? I’m not sure. That happens a lot with me. I was sure once, but didn’t like it much. Not being sure makes your whole life one big adventure.
Oh yeah, not being sure has it’s drawbacks. Like if your not sure how many people there are, you might not have enough lollipops. But how often does that come up? I always get the real big bag of lollipops. It’s just what I do.
Pip pip and jolly show, or whatever you say in your country.
I think it’s safe to say somewhere in your country there’s someone, right now, saying “Don’t stand there, you’ll get your shoes wet.” Not that I’d take a bet on it. The stander (or standee? Hmmm… a quandry…) might be wearing galoshes. Then they can stand virtually anywhere and maintain their shoe dryness.
Just cheer up, I don’t want to have to go through this again. OK?
Yer Special Pal,
-Rue.
Here’s some nice down pillows, a fuzzy chinchilla, and a big pile of fur from my devil dog Gizmo’s coat.
Feel better soon, Fran.
I hate to hear my Frannie is sad.
Watch me as I dance in my monkey pants. Watch me twirl and twirl…like a monkey princess twirling through her fabulous monkey kingdom. I even have a monkey crown, and I will place it on your head and give you happy monkey thoughts. I will also give you my monkey-princess sceptor, but don’t worry, it’s only a banana.
Love you, Frannie.
Keep your chin up,
Rose
Poor Frannie. 
Would it help if I wrapped you up in my Pooh blankie and joined you in The Corner for an evening? I’ll even invited Wicky…
Hey, Fran, I think you are the best. I loved meeting you and talking with you. I hope you get over whatever is bothering you real soon.
And Alex is a very special person (I think he’s a person)
Take care, you two.

Fluffy Love? Does fluffy love involve marshmallows?
If it does. Count me in!
Marshmallows are tasty.
Clouds would taste like marshmallows, if clouds could be so lucky.
Fran, I am sorry that you are feeling down and out of sorts. I hope you feel better soon.
One good way to feel better is to think of all those folks that are less fortunate than you.
Then mock them. Mock them and make them cry.
You will feel like a million dollars.
Making someone else cry is the same as laughing. Only better, because you get to laugh and watch them cry.
Oh. And after you made them cry. Send them fluffy love. It will allow you to escape guilt unscathed.

Fluffy love, boxes of chocolate, soothing thoughts and lots of love coming your way, my dearest Fran…
Hope you are feeling bouncy again soon!
Much Love,
Cheri
- Cranky comes bounding in, grabs Francesca in a wrestling hold, throws her to the ground, sits on her head and farts. Loudly. Longly. Then collapses onto her side helpess with laughter*
If that doesn’t cheer you right up, it’s hopeless.
Again, thanks. Your scribbles of happiness have really helped - I do appreciate it, all of you.
Fran
I like blue as a color, but not so much as a feeling. Unless ya mean in a musical sense, in which case, break out the bourbon and let’s sway on some barstools together. And, I seem to running out of fluffy love, but can I offer you some lumpy love I found hidden under the bed? I brushed off the dust bunnies (even though they were kinda fluffy).
Frannie you’re a sweetie and I adore you. Sending my wishes for you to feel better soon.
Just in case you want me to try again, I had some cabbage for breakfast and onion rings for lunch. Give me just an hour…
rumble, rumble
Make that a half an hour. loosens pants
More fluffy love coming your way, Fran. You have no idea how fluffy, or how lovey. You’re just going to have to take my word for it.
I loves me some Frannie. And her little cotton socks.
Wots of fwuffy wuv, and flappy penguin hugs.
All best wishes, and a decorous quantity of carefully groomed fluffy love, duly sent.
Seriously, Fran - whatever it is, I hope it gets better soon.
All I can offer is thrice-roasted nasty coffee (but with real cream), pot roast belches and a sweatshirt covered in peanut butter. If it helps, though, it’s yours.
I refuse to get all cuddly-snuggy. But I hope you know what I mean.
I see this thread was posted on Monday so hopfully you’re feling a little less blue (maybe a little more yellow). If not here’s some fluffy love . . .
:Fluffy Love:
Now do you want fries with that?
Let me add my
{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}
to those of purplebear.
Now if THAT doesn’t bring a spring to your step, I honestly don’t know what will…
omni-not - are you trying to kill me? 
Unfortunately, the bad thing is ongoing and likely to be so for quite a while, but I only need to read this thread for a litte perk. You’re all, like, my friends an that.
