And, Mnementh, dear, youā€™re quite welcome! šŸ˜ƒ Anytime at all. Hello, Obsidian Flutterby. Iā€™ve called those amazing, wonderful insects that name \ for most of my life, and everyone I know thinks Iā€™m odd for that. But, you understand perfectly, donā€™t you? I mean _really_, what do you all do? Appear like butter flying, or flutter by? šŸ™‚ After I get done talking with Giraffe, I think Iā€™ll head over and pet the sweet unicorn. If Persephone doesnā€™t mind, that is. šŸ˜‰ ---

Oh, and Iā€™d just like to add that I find this thread appearing now to be somewhat ironic, and strangelyā€¦ appropriate. For reasons that shall remain unstated (Obsidian can probably guess). ---

_rubs snouts with Cumberā€¦ yes can guess why_ Purplebear of course thatā€™s what they should be called.
