> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by DRY \* > Your timing is exquisite; I really needed the affection. A very bright light in my life has dimmed, and, without wishing to lay blame, I’ll confess that I enter the holiday season (and my upcoming birthday) with little cheer. **Dry,** I am quite sorry to hear this. I always look forward to your posts; no one that I know quotes Shakespeare as well as you do. The variety and originality of your choices is wonderful. So if you’ll permit me - “Thy lips, those kissing cherries, tempting grow!” - A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act III, Scene 2 “By my troth, I kiss thee with a most constant heart.” - Henry IV Part 2, Act II, Scene 4 “Peace! I will stop your mouth.” - Much Ado About Nothing, Act V, Scene 4 And my favorite song, from my favorite play: “What is love? 'tis not hereafter; Present mirth hath present laughter; What’s to come is still unsure: In delay there lies no plenty; Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty, Youth’s a stuff will not endure.” - Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene 3 I hope all improves. ---

Well, if I’d waited till I knew people well before I started smooching, I’d never have ended up marrying Mr. Legend, so I’ll just wade right in and offer kisses to all takers. But I have to mention Tatertot by name, since she’s **EVIL** and I like that. And a hug goes out with the kiss to all those Dopers whose lives have been especially hard lately. ---

Whoah! I never thought I would get a smooch, and i get TWO! So immediately I give muchas smooches to Serendipity because she’s as sweet as a peach smint, and Spider Woman because she didn’t forget me in her long, long list and because she appreciates William (my millipede) when few other people do. Um…other than that i am kinda shy. Hello? I dig FairyChatMom _SMOOCHIES_ hee hee hee But if i need a gentlemen to smooch- Awww… it has to be my boy IRL. He knows who he is. 'love you, please don’t go away (it won’t be wonderful without you) ☹ Turps… ---

The variety and originality of your choices is wonderful. \*\* **Iolanthe** , I thank you sincerely for both your sympathy and your kind words. While I certainly enjoy quoting Shakespeare, it CAN be a lot of work (admittedly a labor of love) and it means quite a bit to me to know that it’s appreciated! May I compliment you on your apt quotations as well? I didn’t quote them above only to save space—they’re wonderful, and I couldn’t have done better! 🙂 And, for your kind words: “I greet thy love, Not with vain thanks, but with acceptance bounteous” –Othello, Act 3, Scene iii I would also be remiss if I didn’t also return kisses of affection to **purplebear** , **screech-owl** (didja get my e-mail?), and **Spider Woman**! Bless you ALL for your kindnesses. (And one more thanks to GolfWidow as well!) “I can no other answer make but thanks, And thanks; and ever oft good turns Are shuffled off with such uncurrent pay: But, were my worth as is my conscience firm, You should find better dealing.” –Twelfth Night, Act 3, Scene iii > [@](#): > > \*\* > I hope all improves. \*\* It has!
