> _giggles and blushes_…Hi, Beauty Taint. Want a brownie? :o

I love brownies! Wait…it’s not a stale, overpriced, cello wrapped one you ordered from a shopping channel, right? Ah, doesn’t matter. I’ll eat it. 😃

P.S. and by the way, I seriously am _not_ a guy. Do I still get brownies? 😛

So, BENCHWARMER, what are you going to do with two sets of Poo? Several gifts of spite at the Q’s expense?

The person who made it made it pretty easy to set up. I have it running and it was the first time I ever messed with a GM script.

Ah, Clarks Amy is back. I hadn’t seen her in a while. I thought maybe something bad happened to her IN MANHATTAN!! Guess not.

TSV is going to be something from Basshole. I’ll be watching the SNL Christmas special on NBC instead.

Another fake fur jacket that is much too small on Jane. Why oh why don’t these people EVER wear a large enough size? It gets freaking cold in the winter, and who the heck wants to run around with a coat that doesn’t close?:mad:

Sure, honey. You can have all the brownies you want.

And I’m SO glad you’re not a guy. I didn’t put my bra back on. Once the ladies get loose, there’s no stuffing them back in there. 😃

I just set up our Charlie Brown Christmas tree, so our decorating is done. 🙂

I want a brownie. A half baked one. The kind they don’t sell on these shopping channels. Oh, by the by, the Duchess is making a taste test comparison between regular apple and Dutch apple pie. Because as she says: “Somebody’s got to do it…”

Gotta say, the Elf looks pretty cute in some of those Basso “furs”. I hope to gawd he doesn’t try his “We’re _both_ married, but let’s make out” BS routine with _her_ though. I’ll seriously hurl.

But once again she had to emphasize that she had on an extra small. They must run very big because she has gotten very broad in the hip thigh area. I gave in and ordered the black. Really need something dressy for winter and it looks like you can dress it up or down.

It must run big, for sure. I’m guessing most of their clothing does, but I’ve never ordered any from them. It is a coat, too, so more forgiving. I bet she doesn’t brag about the pant sizes when she wears them. Lol. Hope you love your coat when you get it!

And Ugh. Rachel “sexy” growling for Orthaheel dude. Do ALL the women hosts have to act like they’ve just got out of prison when they work with him? Back it off a little, sister!

Their lovefest for dotty’s latest crapola is the one and only review they’ve ever posted. Hmmm…seems kind of suspicious to me. Wonder if dotty practices damage control by having her minions sign up for Q accounts and head straight for the ‘write a review’ page?

I just saw pics of the stupid puffer (what kind of name is that?) coat. Who the hell wants a noisy coat? Even if you don’t mind, think of all the poor souls whose nerves you’re grating as you _zeep-zop_ around in that stupid thing. One day someone will come up and hit you over the head with a shovel. You’ll say you have no idea why but really, you’ll know. _Yooou’ll know._

Welcome to our new members! Hope to see you in some of the other forums and threads.

Gads, he doesn’t appeal to me in the least! I guess there are really no really handsome guys around the Q. Rick is ok. Dan? Dan? David? Chaz? :smack:
