I’m feeling pretty ignored, too. Would you wipe out some telephone solicitors or tax collectors for me while you’re at it?

Because the deck was handy and we needed something for the non-croquet-inclined to play in addition to shooting the breeze?

Surprisingly, no. Wash, drip dry, brush, and go. Only problem was I shed like a motherfuck. 😃 And thanks for the compliment!

[Playing in a pub session.](http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s_liebregts/detail?.dir=/mail&.dnm=6127.jpg&.src=ph) I alway pull that face when I’m playing apparently.

Just in case professional do gooders are next in line in the New Alphabetical System of SAMPIROANIC BENEVOLENT OLIGARCHY:

So, **Sampiro** how _you_ doin’? 😉

Am I safe now?

Ok, I am confused. Who’s stalking me more, **chaoticbear** or **CynicalGabe**? More importantly, should I be hiding in fear somewhere right now?

Yes, the water was falling around that building. (Just kidding. I know darn well what it is. We drove three hours out of our way from Pittsburgh to Virginia Beach just to see it, got lost twice, and it is indeed about a mile walk through the woods from the parking lot/reception center to get to the building.)

Alright… we’ll go with the repeat from the last thread.

[Me.](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dougf_nvision/detail?.dir=4fc7&.dnm=9cb8.jpg&.src=ph)

And a new one… [this](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dougf_nvision/detail?.dir=4fc7&.dnm=fde1.jpg&.src=ph) is a low-res shot of the finacee and I at the Eiffel Tower Resturant in Vegas, shortly after she said yes. I’m the one with facial hair, trying to look dressy. That’s the Bellagio fountains in the background. (And, for reference since I skipped the “I’m engaged” thread, [this](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dougf_nvision/detail?.dir=4fc7&.dnm=2d5c.jpg&.src=ph) is the ring.)

I’d assume that we’re both about equal, but **CynicalGabe** is just creepier.

It had a better view of the living room window than the van across the street.

Not to worry, just observing. I’m an existential detective…

_Sigh_ How many times do I have to explain to you stalkers that if you want a view into the living room or master bedroom it will be necessary to use the tree house in the neighbor’s backyard behind my house? Neither room can be seen from the front of the house.

It’s gettin’ to where you just can’t find decent stalkers anymore.

Right, when I got kicked out of my bushes, I took up a spot in that treehouse. Look in the MMP, and see that I’m not lying.

(I didn’t tell you about the night-vision binoculars, though… You really need to keep your bedroom curtains open at night. Partly because they’re a _hideous_ color.)
