Wow, I just dragged in from delivering papers in this weather, and here you all are looking so nice and…well, comfortable! All this food and fluffy stuff and my gracious! We may have to drag in some more bean bag chairs! \ I know we have lots of cookies and other goodies, but look! Premade Chocolate Chip cookie dough was on sale! You can just break it off and eat it as is! And a big ol’ box of Krispy Kremes, too, because you know some folk just looooves their Krispy Kremes. You know what? I have, in my soap studio/dining room, a big slab of wax and many jars of oil. Guess what _that_ means…paraffin hand treatments for everyone! Nothing to cheer a person up like a paraffin hand treatment! Yes, you gentlemen too. Trust me on this one, it’s quite manly. **Todd!** Darling! What a nice surprise! I listen to you every morning (and I mean that literally, EVERY morning of my life as I deliver papers) and here you are! You are every bit as clever in person as you are on the radio. Here, I’ll trade you some of these hand-knitted socks for a supply of blueberry muffins and some of that mac and cheese. Oh, and blueberry _wine!_ Can’t go wrong with blueberries, that’s my philosophy. ---

Any room for me? I brought some gooey half-baked chocolate chip cookies and my knitting…also _The Princess Bride_ DVD. I also stuck a pepperoni pizza in the oven to warm up. I love the candles. Very cozy in here. Anyone doing pedicures after the massages? ---

I don’t know about pedicures, but that Mensan Cabana Boy does good foot massages, and yes, we got the massage table, too. I’ve got my knitting with me, too. CJ ---

Sure, we can do pedicures! I just learned to do foot reflexology, too, and while I am not convinced I can fix problems with anyone’s innards, I can give a darn good foot massage, and the relaxation itself will make your whole body happier. Mmmm…pepperoni pizza. I have seasoned salt to sprinkle on it, too. ---

I can bring a freshly washed 80 pound lap dog who is free with her love. I can bring the best comfort sensation I know, freshly washed, fluffy towels, still warm from the dryer, to follow the bubble baths. I’ve got ice cream sundaes, and I’ll do my best to infect everyone with the giggles. Can we play dress-up, too? ---

Here, I’ve got my DVD of The Muppet Movie. Also The Sound of Music. In case we run out of stuff to watch. What’s this? Hostess Ho-Hos!? Awesome! Who brought these? ---

This _FREEKING_ weather! Snow has canceled my gaming convention and my Gangrel sits, waiting the Hunters. _grumble_ My friend from out of town are stuck an extra day. _growl_ And I can’t find the charger to the cell.! _drops in couch_ My favorite biggole’ fuzzy blankee in case someone wants to share. OOOOooo, there’s the spare heater. Sounds like a good time to try this new brownine recipe. (I guess it makes it’s own fudge sauce.) Anyone got Candle making suff? I saw the parafin for the manicures, but I want jars and wicks. I also have my Glow-in-the-Darks and Black light sensitive crayons and paints. Did someone mention Spaghetti? Can someone make Chicken sliders like CeCee’s? I know the Jonh Denver is right out so, I brought my headphones. Or, maybe I’ll watch those M_A_S\*H DVDs I have an extra Pussy, He’s studmuffin and a lap-lepord. Gaunteed to happily take any stroking you’ll give him. Myself I feel like some strange. **Skerri** Please pass your extra pussy. ---

Oh, **TelcontrarStorm** , just head right through that door into the soap studio. I have tons of candlemaking supplies–wax, jars, an entire cabinet full of fragrances, you name it. Also plenty of stuff for bath salts, oils, etc. Go destress, by all means. It sounds like you need it! Here, take a teddy bear with you. And heat lots of wax, you know once you start, _everyone_ is gonna want to play. ---

_Grabs Teddy_ Sounds like a plan! Oh, where’s the fruity smells? I want the cherry scent ofr my candle. Oh Boy! can I make my roommate a decent smelling pachuli mix? Fun! Who left this bowl of Chex Mix? Lucky Me! _chomp_crunch\* Thanks for the quick responce there **Bodypoet**. You made my day. ---

Here ya go **DeVena** The fluffy Dale Ernhart blanket. Not much to look at but it is warm and soft. The cats recomend it. Would you like some M&M’s for the popcorn? ---

Wait a sec, do I smell popcorn? Is it nice and buttery? I’m going to use my very own bowl, the one I bought from a potter in Kentucky, because I want to put Greek seasoning on it. Anyone else up for a new taste sensation? Speaking of party mix, maybe I’d better make some more. I do love my party mix. Extra spicy this time, I think, and maybe I’ll make a nutty batch for nut-lovers. ---

There you go, **Tupag** , ten nice braids, each with a neon pink satin bow on the end. Swing your head…doesn’t it feel neat? Oh, **bodypoet? Bodypoet!**. That big hot tub out on your back patio…can we take the cover off and turn it on? Popcorn for me, please, with lots of butter, salt, and Parmesan cheese. (Trust me on that one.) Wait, I love this part of _The Princess Bride_…sssshhhhh… ---

Oh my, yes. The hot tub is open for business! I have big fluffy towels stacked on the deck, and we have a nice little fire going nearby, and there is plenty of wine and margaritas to go around. You can turn on the stereo too, and just switch the speakers to “Deck” status. Should we add some Mr. Bubble to the hot tub, just for kicks? ---

Oh, a comfort party, just what I need right now, if you have room! I’ll haul over my espresso machine - it doesn’t weigh too much. Lattes, mochas, steamed hot chocolate, and flavored steamers are all on the menu… with or without additions from the wet bar. If I can just get one of those margaritas - rocks, plenty of salt - and a few warm chocolate chip cookies, I’ll be one happy barista. Another vote here for the Princess Bride. I also brought some CD’s if anyone wants to pop one in. ---
