Hello, folks. Who’s up for another day of attempted threadicide? I honestly thought someone would be able to kill this puppy over the weekend. At the rate it’s growing, though, it’s gonna be twice the size of its ancestor before too long. And it’s only eight days old. Frankly, I’m flabbergasted. So, let’s kill something today! ---

Ah, love. It’s so nice to be welcomed back. And tea is steeping for fierra. The knishes are, if I may say so, my finest yet. Missed you all. The flu bug has descended upon my home with a vengance. Yuck. But I did get some cleaning done and all the Christmas decorations put away…wha? Oh, I’m so sorry. I just thought I’d try boring the old thread to death…elbows tried that? Ah, I see. Well, at least we’ve learned that threads like slide shows. Come to think of it…I kinda did too. _sigh_ Hey, bright side to it is that it’s dark in here…anybody wanna neck? Oh…too early, huh? Wow…that’s the worst rejection yet. ---

After long and considered deliberation, i have decided that my milestone post (Ok, so it’s a tiny milestone, I’m new, i’m not up to big milestone’s yet) definitely belongs in a somewhat pointless, but very enjoyable thread where noting that it is a milestone for me is not inappropriate. So… How YOU doin this fine morning? -Doug ---

Happy 101 Dub! Sorry I’m late! I’ll have that tea now struuter, please (it should be nice & strong by now 😉 ). I think the rejection was cos the lights were down & they didn’t know who spoke…perhaps you should try again! Sauron, DW, Thinksnow, Pwill…any males in range, I’m appalled at you, leaving a lady wounded like that! Medic!!! No, not you, the good looking one! Tend to struuter, would you dear? ---

Cool, dup. I was trying to decide if my impending 1500 was a big deal or not. 100 is certainly a big deal. Thanks for posting it here with us. _sniff_ I feel like I was a part of something. _sniff_ Here, have a fresh knish. Silver, good morning to you. Sleep well? ---

Mary Sunshine? No, if you ever saw me in the morning, you’d know that I am not Mary freakin’ Sunshine. A) I’m _really_ bitchy. 2) My hair – Well, think Medusa. 3) Hi, Odie! And I never actually **talk** when I first wake up. I make a lot of “Hmm… Uh-huh” noises and nod my head often. It takes me at least 20 minutes to “wake up”, but it can take up to several hours some days. Anyway, good morning to you too, Odie! 😃 ---

Ummm…You guys do know that the car show is due in here the end of the month, don’t you? Not that I mind if you run long or anything. My concession stand has been doing a land office business, you know. You guys really know how to pack the bleachers. 😃 ---

I think the orange pekoe struuter, although I’m not sure I should take milk with that. No sugar, I’m sweet enough already 😛 Silver, if you think your mornings are bad, my mom unsed towake me for school…half an hour later when she thought I was ready, I’d still be asleep. I used to tell her to make sure we actually had a conversation to prove I was awake - turns out I can talk in my sleep if it will get me an extra half hour in bed! ---

It goes well, Saint. Have some tea? Some knish? I think we’re taking a break from the slide show, so I think it’s okay to speak in normal tones. Orange Pekoe it is then, fierra. I believe I’ll have some Earl Grey. And please pass the sugar…I need all the help I can get. 😃 ---

Ah yes, I remember school mornings. By the end of my first year in 7th grade I could shower, get dressed, and eat breakfast in under 20 minutes. Eventually I stopped eating breakfast so I could get the extra few minutes in bed. ---

Jeez…I was bad in school about not getting up, but I think I’m far worse now. Anything…anything for ten more minutes of good sleep in the morning.
