I haven’t been here in forever and a day, but of course I noticed this thread ;).

Definitely a swallower, unless it’s intentionally “delivered” to other parts of my body. Mmmm…it’s always fun to play, don’t you think?

I’m all for having something to drink after it though…

It’s okay. I’d say you have squatter’s rights, by now. Sorry about the ex-friend. **{{{{{RH}}}}}** ☹

Welcome, stranger. 🙂  
I’d guess you’d be female, from what you said? I like to play, but not with gooey stuff, so much.  
What would you like to drink?

Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to come off sounding so terse. I should have added a 😃 to show I was joking.

Ah, well. Skip the first paragraph, then, and don’t yell at me for apologizing. 🙂

Not to hijack this thread, but I’d never heard of Islay before today and now I’ve seen it mentioned in two different places by two different people. 😃

_pours him (her?) an Islay malt_

I’d curtsey, but if you’re female then I’ll just feel weird. 😉

Male, very definitely.

And now that you’ve heard of Islay, I’d better tell you it’s pronounced with a long I, a silent s, and a silent y. It was a while before I found out 🙂

And on the topic of the thread, I suppose a \<snip\> question?

Thanks **Dave** and **Branwen** for the hugs… well needed… got a lot of Rhinotime this morning and more on its way this afternoon so I’m doing good … nice to know that somebody loves me lol …

**Tanookie** , Rhino says there’s a pregant woman living next door to him :eek: say hi when you pass by 😃

Emmmmmm to keep on topic, yeah I love to swallow… or did I say that already??? 😛

Rhino… Eeek… I didn’t think I was _that_ pregnant yet 🙂 Although I just packed away my jeans this weekend. They don’t fit anymore!

Too keep on topic… Still pretty nauseus so still not swallowing here… we go for that option 3 but I’m very considerate and clean up everything 🙂 Else we just use it as foreplay and he gets to finish elsewhere.

okay…color me stupid, but where’s the ‘quote’ icon? Oh well…I’ll just wing it.

Davebear ~ yep, female would be correct 🙂 What would I like to drink? I really like champagne ~ that’s fun. Well, pretty much anything I guess 😉

flybynight: Hi back! I’m doing great, how about you?

tanookie ~ congrats on the upcoming baby!! I got a huge chuckle out of your post.

Hey, hey! _I’m_ the bartender, here.

Yep, pretty much. With that semi-soft Scottish A.

One champagne, coming up. So, I get the impression you’re not exactly new, in town. Of course, I good bartender never pries, but he’s always happy to listen.

Oh, and the quote thing is added by the button, below the post, that says Reply To. You can also manually add it, from the Preview page, but it’s more work.

Thanks tag for the congrats… Always glad to make someone chuckle.

Seems the only threads I don’t kill are the sex ones… curious!

I figure we have about 3 months until I’m so big that whenever he approaches me for anything I’ll be in the “get that thing away from me… can’t you see what you’ve already done” mood. Gotta get while the getting’s good 🙂

On topic (sorta) I didn’t have the odd heartburn reaction with the last baby so maybe this one’s a boy?

Yes. Get out! :mad:

Just kidding. But, watch it. I’m the only one allowed to make bad puns, around here. Besides, we only take cash and credit cards, here. No Czechs.
