**norinew** : _shifts seat slo-o-owly away_ (I kid, I kid!)

And as soon as I can find someone to send cash to (no credit card, and Paypal doesn’t allow me to sign up without one) I’m \*so \* there. 😉

**iampunha** : 😛

**Wordman** : What’s yours mean? 😉

We were picking apart \*The Odyssey \* in class, and I came upon a quote:

Ah, so you’re a fair-gardened lass, are you? Welcome!

I first saw your posts in the Pit thread where we had a visitor from somewhere else and you seemed to fit in so well I wondered why you weren’t a member yet. Anyways, you’ll definitely fit in, so join the club! Where are you from?

Well, other than that thing with the goat and the jello :eek:.

But the ASPCA will soon put the kabosh on that… Before they get tome, I hope 😃 .

My god, my mental processes are a little weak right after I wake up. Even I couldn’t understand what I was trying to say.

Hi Kythereia. Another welcome, this one from up the road in Guelph.
