I figgered he was embarrased cause he had started smoking again, and didn’t want to change his sig!

Bottom line, as much as it sucks now, everyone I know who has lost a job has ended up in a better place afterwards. Best wishes for strength in difficult times. Besides, in another couple of years **Satan** will have a rich lawyer to support him in the lifestyle he’d like to become accustomed to.

In other words: it wasn’t a huge surprise that your comment was interpreted more harshly than you probably intended it. That’s what I meant. And thanks for apologising.

No spanking though - not to worry 🙂  
You need to try me a little harder before I resort to measures of bodily harm.

Drain Bead, mind your language. Either take it to the Pit, or dicuss it here - with civility.

Don’t worry about **Coldfire** , **Diane**. He’s new, and he’ll catch on.

Meantime, come over here for your spanking.

Hi Taters. Oh yes ………and if Diane keeps mentioning spanking and ‘submit’ I might need something a little stronger……but lets try to stay on course. Please, _do_ pour.

Did you see that Mrs Jones at the Women’s Guild meeting the other night ? – **what** could she have been thinking wearing a dress like that – her just widowed, and all. I’m not one to gossip but……………….

Milk or lemon, my dear? And can you believe the nerve of some people, promising other people that they’d e-mail them something and then two weeks later it still isn’t there? 😉

Ooops…sorry, some of the snideness must’ve rubbed off on me.

I cook, I clean, I shop, I do the washing, I’m a bloody taxi service for everyone around here and you’re not happy with that !

Honestly, I just don’t know !!!

Calm down, ladies. One whiff of sticky buns and you’re all a’quiver.

Tech issues…_riiiiggghhhttt_. There’s somebody else, isn’t there? Some other poster has stolen your heart. Sob. Whatever is a tater to do?

Anybody got any whiskey for the tea? Sniffles…I’ve just had my heart cruelly broken.

You are definitely a member of the Hot Euro Man Meat Club, but I do have my limits when it comes to sniffing sticky buns. That’s just icky.

**Taters:**  
Well, if you must know…………….(pause)……………there is.

It’s the pool cleaning man. And can you blame me ! You never pay _me_ any attention any more, you take _everything_ for granted, you _hardly_ see the kids ! You come home, switch on the TV and don’t want to talk. Remember how we used to talk……

He’s actually very nice.

He thinks I’m _interesting_ and doesn’t disapprove of everything I do, everything I wear, everything I say. He _listens_ to me and……. he likes my hair.

So there, now you know !!

Diane – “limits”. Hmmm. And I thought you were a wild frontier woman.

Taters – Drama Queen!. I’d give you a handkerchief but it’s one of Coldie’s and we can’t be sure where it’s been.

Even us wild frontier women have our fears. Maybe you could help me over come those fears in a few months?
