My latest purchase is a Murano Glass bunny pictured [here](http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10893&item=3201404701&rd=1). It arrived on Wednesday. 🙂 I’ve also managed to find quite a bit of Miffy stuff (Miffy is Hello Kitty’s bunny friend, in case you were wondering) which is very hard to come by - shirts and purses that are decent and adult sized are almost impossible to find, even if you to to a Sanrio store - I managed to get both at e-bay for pretty reasonable prices. That’s what I would suggest. Just go on e-bay and do a search for “bunny” - you’ll get thousands. ---

[retro] I humbly think that I have something of a reputation as being among the most forebearing, patient, forgiving and “moderate” amongst the Moderators. With that introduction, a quick reading of **Suspenderzzz** ’s various posts leave me annoyed. Well, OK, more than annoyed. I have therefore taken a perhaps long-overdue action, which you will notice by the change in her status. I was going to close this thread, as some had earlier requested, but I see no reason to close a thread about bunnies, meese, and gibbous moons. Er gibbon’s moons. Er… [/hijack] ---

I just dropped by to vow my undying love for **C K Dexter Haven**. Of course, this is a devotion of longstanding, starting with “The Philadelphia Story” and continuing on to once again fall in love (with Bing) in “High Society.” [sub]Having, of course, nothing AT ALL to do with the current CK’s brilliance and perspicacity and wisdom. Nah, nothing at ALL. 😉 [/sub] Just thought I would share. Thanks, Dex! ---
