I certainly hope you don’t mean to imply that I have an Actual Life. I neglected to mention my ICQ list which is a bit more extensive, including a charming man in Scotland who has been an on-line friend for over 4 years… But even without that, I don’t have a life. It’s so pathetic. Pity me!! \<deep sad, pathetic sigh\> Or message me. Either way!

Oh, no. I’d never, ever, imply that you had a life, **FCM**.

Just make sure to announce that you’re a doper, otherwise I’ll just think you’re some pervert lookin’ for a good cyber time. 🙂

Okay, I have just spent the past half hour or so adding all of you to my buddy list. (except those who were there already ;)) Let’s just say that my buddy list is now more extensive than it used to be. I even put everyone in alphabetical order, since on ICQ and Yahoo, it’s automatically that way. (easier for me, at any rate)

I see that some of you are online, so don’t be shy… give me a holler! (but _please_ say you’re from the SDMB)
