Dontcha just love it when an ignorant newbie with NO knowledge whatsoever of who he is talking about decides to randomly insult a popular longstanding member? Particularly when he gets it so earthshatteringly wrong and displays such incredible shallowness when doing so that he ends up looking like the winner of the Mr Idiot of the Universe\* competition? Still, I guess it just goes to show: you never know WHO is reading. Oh, and it also shows that any adolescent with access to his mummy’s computer can get on the internet these days. pan \*yes, even beating the glubbering gomb-beast of Planet Dim, whose cognitative faculties measure in nanometres. ---

Because I mentioned that you could be even BETTER looking if you would try something different with your hair, or maybe different makeup? I don’t know why I’m saying this here, and it’ll probably piss you off, but anyway. When I first saw you the thing that caught my eye was your eyes. Beautiful blue. Then that all natural blond hair. I know I asked you to shade it red for me, but hey, forgive me. Now after 14K dollars, you have a smile to go with the eyes/hair. You’ve thanked me for that, and you’re welcome. You’re also welcome for FatDawg. You said that was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for you. I’d hoped it would be a very small part of many nice things I would try to do. I have my bad habits, and you have yours. But in my mind, and of course I’m probably wrong, anything I ever did was to help you and because I love(d) you.
