You’re back! Hurrah!
Now see this this the reason I love you Shirley-you-coax-me-through-my-colourful-shit. I shall now type with gay abandon just cause I’m alive…rather then the whole alive even though my guts tried to tell me otherwise, thing.
You like me! You really do 
Great, now I have to worry about orphaned homosexuals.
Won’t someone think of the Queers!
Hey! It seems fairly certain civil unions will become law here tomorrow! The child can be Gay or UnGay abandonned. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY about frigging time!
Is there a law for “the-child-from-the-bloke-across-the-road”?
I’m not that bad!
Well, thank God, I can finally leave my computer. It’s been quite a vigil, I tell you.
Very glad you’re alright and feeling better and have roses. Roses are good.
If you’ll excuse me now…
:Runs to the bathroom:
I’m so glad you’re ok.
Grats on the weight loss, I had same earlier this month due to illness. Hate to bust your bubble, but them pounds will come back the first 24 hours you eat like normal again.
I’m still all angry my low weight didn’t stick. But sitting for a month doing nothing has burned about negative 100000 calories. Which reminds me…
Dear Santa,
Please bring new fat pants (with elastic waist) for me, I bulked up this year.
Thank you.
He came to the door and found you were sick and possibly contagious and not only did he come back but offered to do a grocery run? :eek:
Keep him!
My own mother wouldn’t do that for me when I had the flu! 
Seriously does sound like he deserves a chance, though. 
Yay! Calm Kiwi is back! With roses! But no pie!
Wow, this thread has kept me on the edge of my seat. Mysterious stangers, clandestine notes, axe murderers, sudden dissappearances, sickness and triumphant return! You could get a, oh I don’t know, a Mills and Boon out of this one!
All the best to you and yours Calm Kiwi!
:: Sunspace breathes a massive sigh of relief, can go back to daydreaming about New Zealand and other far-off beautiful lands ::
Sorry about the illness, glad everything worked out okay!
calm kiwi glad to know that you are back to posting status now. I was more worried about your flu than getting axe murdered.
Keep us posted on how the movie/dinner turns out. I bet it should be fun!
[personal note] I am the lucky one to have a friend like you. [/personal note]
You’re OK!!! Yay!!! I’m really sorry your were so sick but you’re still alive and 8 pounds lighter! The mystery guy sounds really sweet. Definitely take him out to dinner AND a movie.
Glad you’re feeling better, calm kiwi.
You’re just saying that so you wouldn’t have to give up some maple syrup.
So happy you’re OK CalmKiwi hope you and your son are 100% better very soon.
So, do you have a date yet? Has he been back? What’s he look like?
Welcome back, calm kiwi. Glad to hear you’re not lying dismembered in a ditch {I checked the Herald every day, and your body wasn’t in it, so I wasn’t too worried}, and sorry to hear about the bot: hope you’re feeling better - and if the guy’s stuck around while you were squirting out of both ends AND brought flowers, he may show promise. Or desperation.
No kidding. It would cost a bloody fortune to ship it Down Under And A Little To The Left. Might as well ship the tree and equipment myself…oh, I am a tightwad and I’m ok…
The flowers were very impressive, but the fact that he offered to go to the grocery store for you says “winner” in my book. Don’t judge “chemistry” by how you react to someone when you have the flu. Give this guy a good, long chance.
I wonder if this is the flu we can expect here in the U.S., with none of us having flu shots.
Hey hey hey! Glad you’ve come back to us, calm kiwi. Hope you and yours are feeling better post haste.
Super nice that the strange guy sounds like a good sort, too. Hurrah!
You know, it’s a shame that the “Should I abandon homosexuals?” thread apparently got vapourized during the Winter of Our Missed Content. That thread made me pee with glee.
I’ve been away since last Friday and I was so glad when I got back today to see that you’re ok calm kiwi. Welcome back! We were all worried! (Even those of us you may not know. )
Today I got jewellery. A necklace. I am soooo much more lovely then I knew :D. Well that or he’s cracked! He called it an early chrissy pressie.
He really seems to be a sweetheart. Not gorgeous but very sweet.
Of course that is suspicious in itself. I may be overly suspicious or I may be odd…or maybe he just does like me. Wh knows? Who cares!
It was nice to know he cared and really nice to know some of you lot cared a bit
Thanks guys.
Jewelry is always a good move. Enjoy!!!
