Bear, Promise I’m not a troll trying to sneak in. At least, I don’t think I am. I’d have to have you define a troll but that would mean I’m an idiot so I’m not asking. :o My dogs are pretty much trickless. No Spanish, no French or German. They have selective hearing when it comes to English. Thanks for the leather. Fits great. Hmmm. Never knew leather could be so comfy. Dear Sir: the check is in the mail. 😉 ---

Anniz – bringing you is MORE than enough! Now, can you drink? Can you fart with style? Can you just be you? GRAND! You’re in! You can be newbie liaison. Help the newbies feel at home when I go to bed. Which, is probably going to be in about an hour or so… but you are probably off too… just be you. You’re in, sugar. Queen Freddie – night night. Cuddle up. There are now like four dogs up here but there is still room… ---

Thanks Byz. I’m a beerdrinker. And you have a hard doorman in Bear\_Nenno, don’t know why he doesn’t trust me. Maybe it’s my Swedish accent?
