After all, today _did_ bring you into a new decade… 😃

Happy big 30, my good friend!!! Glad you made it this far, and I hope you make it twice-again!

So let’s get this party started… drinks at the bar (any kind, any flavor… I like to stock these things right!), hot tub at the ready in the back, and tunes starting up to get people’s toes tapping. I’ve put out the call for a bevy of beautiful Doper-ladies to come help you celebrate in style. They should be here soon.

So tell me, is there anything _else_ I can do to make this birthday memorable??? 😉

\<said in soft, breathy voice\> Well, helloooooooo, **Tygr**. Happy Birthday, my dear. I just looooooove a big, strong hunk of man who is finally old enough to know just what to do, and young enough to do it right. 😉 Come here, dear, to the hot tub TP was kind enough to place in this quiet corner. I’m saving a special hug just for you.

HI **True Pisces**! {{{{{{TP}}}}}}

\<No, my friend, I haven’t forgotten you. Just had a few busy days. I’ll answer your emails soonest. And, thank you.\>

Thank you, my dear. Yeah, better watch out for me when I’m 90 - that’ll prob’ly be me sneakin’ in the back window of the ol’ ladies home.

> [@](#):
>
> **So let’s get this party started… drinks at the bar (any kind, any flavor… I like to stock these things right!), hot tub at the ready in the back, and tunes starting up to get people’s toes tapping.**

I’ll have what Mister Stonebender’s having - Bushsmill’s, neat. :: fires up his special-occasion Cuban ::

> [@](#):
>
> \*\*So tell me, is there anything _else_ I can do to make this birthday memorable??? 😉 \*\*

Yeah, c’mere… _smoooooooch!_ 🆒:D:cool:

And I’ll get to the hot tub in a minute. But first…

:: Looks around the room ::

Wowsers. Mission accomplished, I’d say. Beautiful women everywhere, including your lovely self.

Handshakes to **Tyklfe** and **blur** , who’s living up to his username in his haste to the Jello pit.

Hugs and pecks on the cheek to **Obsidian Flutterby** , **celestina** , and **Scotti**.

**screech-owl** : _rrrrowwwrrlll_ Back a litt…over to the… ahhhh yes. Hmmmmmrrrrrr… Thanks, hon. _smooch back_ Tygrs love scritches…

**Mauvaise** : 😛 They say you’re only as old as you feel. So tell me, how do I feel?

**Arden** : A Jello pit just ain’t right unless you join me there.

**hardygrrl** : I thought you’d never ask. 😃 Say, I’ve never had a lap dance IN a Jello pit…

:: Not too long a while later, he rinses off the Jello and slips into the hot tub alongside the Lavendar Lady. ::

Thank you, dear lady **purplebear** , for your kind words. It’s always pleasant to find a lovely, sweet woman who, ah, _appreciates_ that combination.😉
