Well, I asked my husband, and he says that he’s not purplebear, so I guess that means I’m not married to her either. Darn.

_looks at empty ring finger_

I’m not married to her either, but do count her as a close friend.

And that’s WAY more important isn’t it?

I’m still giggling over what Doctor Jackson wrote.  
Hmmm… I’ve got a pretty diamond ring on, but it’s not because I’m married (or even close to it _sniffle_ ). And I don’t want to further DRY’s dirty rumour that I’m bisexual… sorry, purplebear, I guess I’m not married to you either. But you’ve got Mr. Bear, right?

See what you started, Chief? And, VB is continuing it! \<chuckles\>

Ok, ok. For the record: I am most _definitely_ NOT married to any female. Not my thing at all. No offense, to all you wonderful ladies out here. 🙂 Thanks, Persephone, what a sweet thing to say!

As to all of you handsome men…😉 Well, in this country,it’s only legal to be married to one man at a time.  
\<in a quiet little voice she hopes no one hears, she mutters **darnit** \>

SouthernStyle, it wasn’t _me_! Honest! It wasn’t!! :eek:

DoctorJ, that only proves you don’t know me very well! Just ask Mr Bear how often _I_ ask _him_ for sex!! _BLUSH_ \<well, when we’re in the same country, that is. sigh\> I did love what you put, though! 🙂

pf, thanks. _BLUSH_ You’re a very dear friend, I treasure you. Happy Birthday, again, btw! _smoooch!_

Yes, dpr, it is to me. The feeling is mutual, my friend.

Audrey, yes, I sure do! Even if he _is_ in another country at the moment. _POUT_

Shayna, you’re such a dear! You always know how to make me smile! See-----\> 😃

drop, sweetie, you’ve been hanging out with the wrong women, if _that’s_ what you think! 😛 I flirt with hubby much more now than I did when we first got married.

DRY. I have only one thing to say to you about your comment: **PHHHFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTT!!!** :wally

JB, while this may be true, still, doesn’t our virtual water balloon fight count for something? 😉

See, I wanted to be married to PB, but when I was flirting with her, Mr. Bear showed up and promised to drop a bomb on my head. As wonderful as she is, I decided that I wouldn’t press my luck. Darn it, I’m a coward.

You guys are so sweet! No wonder I like it here so much! I bet you can see the red glow emanating from my face from wherever you are at, can’t you?
