Seems a simulpost has given Serendipity two compliments and left either Lsura and Catrandom out in the cold! (Greed is an evil thing Serendipity.)

So, What I will do is stand in judgement of Catrandom and the next poster can take Lsura. Then things will be back to normal. (By the way Veb, thanks. That compliment means a lot.)

* * *

Catrandom is one of those people who just is. People make such a big deal about what is right and proper. They argue about it and get all caught up in semantics, missing the whole thing. Catrandom knows better. Quietly, softspoken, she is what others argue about being.

(But she did get her ass kicked by a cat.)  
Remember: Next person does Lsura.

Lsura is an honest, intriguing, and funny person, great personality, and I never tire of reading her captivating posts.

Ad Noctum is, ummm, funny. And, uhhh, smart. Pretty interesting, too. Or something. 😃

Ad Noctum is, in all seriousness, a poster I wouldn’t mind seeing around for a while.

Damn it, **Scylla** , is it my fault the people on this board find me so irresistable that they have to compliment me twice? 😃 Besides, I think I deserve two compliments after you implied I was greedy. 😉

**Serendipity** deserved all those compliments and then some! I mean, she had to work hard on her compliment, she deserved double rewards.  
(By the way, that compliment made my day, Rendip. Tanks)

ooops. I am breaking the rules.

SilverFire is next. (Don’t want to jump back into line, that would greedy.)

Silver Fire is bright, and giving, and always willing to help when someone is trying to get the hang of things. (I noticed this a lot in chat, when she went out of her way to help both me and other “newbies”.}

She is also really funny, and I have yet to see anything she posted that wasn’t worth reading.

Thanks for being you, Silver Fire!

I agree, but I couldn’t resist being facetious about it.

Besides, She’s so good-natured I’m sure she’ll accept my good-natured ribbing in the spirit it was offered.

Wait a minute! Dammit! Between Pricciar and me, that’s FOUR compliments!

Ohhhh, that is sneaky, sneaky, sneaky. Shame on yoy, Serendipity. 🙂

Note: Silver Fire is next.

Mwhahahaha! (That’s my evil laugh, in case you were wondering.) And my nefarious plan continues to work its magic! Soon I’ll have everyone in the SDMB adoring me, sending me gifts of flowers and expensive chocolates and hopefully a few attractive young men…

And thanks to the lovely **Catrandom** , the charming **Simetra** , the sparkling **pricciar** , and the good-humored **Scylla** for brightening my otherwise dreary day. You are, as they say, ruling.

And that’s pretty trusting and admirable. I guess I haven’t done that much, but with you as an inspiration, I will
