Uh, **Kricket**? Keep in mind that if **Astrofiancee** does this, I (sick or not) might break out the whips and handcuffs… and then ALL bets are off…😃

I’m always taking apps., **Kricket**! But as soon as I take another one, **Astrofiancee** rips it up! ☹ She’s SUCH a selfish person! I keep telling her that there’s enough of me to go around, but she just stops up her ears and chants: “Ne ne ne… An-turo, An-turo, An-turo! (I’m not listening, I’m not listening, I’m not listening!)”

**Persephone**

But where would be a more appropriate place to be talking about getting together with whips and handcuffs?

Sorta gives the Pit a whole new meaning, doesn’t it?

I can’t help it **'Seph-**  
It hit, and like a song, it won’t leave- since sometime yesterday, every time I pass by this thread, I see this little red-headed girl _all_ kinds of pissed off, yelling-  
'you are _NOT_ sicker than me you poopy head! and I’m telling Cranky on you!!!  
_ **CRANNNNKY!!** _  
😉  
Sooo, **Kricket** …I was meandering through one of those commando threads…

_guffaws_

If I had a dollar for every time I had this conversation:

Me: Wake up.  
SO: _snort_ _snort_ _roll over_ I’m awake.  
Me: No, you’re not. You were snoring.  
SO: I snore when I’m awake.

What, is sleep a sign of failure or something?
