No, the stars don't raise my bp: it's locomutt calling me out here all the time
to SPELL WORDS for him.[:)][:0][}:)]

To all who have wished my congrats so far, Thank you. Like Mookie, I
NEVER pay attention to the # of replies or posts. I only comment if I feel
I can ask or offer any wisdom (except on the humor thread or at the diner); that's
for fun, silly stuff in my opinion. As well as to just visit with the great people on
this forum.[:D]

Ohh shoot, don't i look dumb. Sorry.

Reminds me of one gym class where we could pic square dancing or some dangerous sport with sticks and nets. Figured it would only be three times so what the heck. Didn't know my partners name, but figured it would change anyway and it would be not smooth to ask after one period went by. Next class came and the partners stayed the same. I tried to get other people in the conversation so they could say her name. Well, that happened, but my mouth moving faster than my brain quickly said "ohhhh, your name is Sara". Wait, damn, oops. She didn't say anything at first, but one other girl put it together and said "you didn't know your partners name?" Sara was hurt and got a new partner. I got stuck with a big kid named George. Oh well.

Star Watch July 2004 [:)]

I am heading out of town and will miss the "crowing" of our next 3 Star Member. [:(] However, Paula, has 493 now and might go over the 500 mark by the end of the day. So you all keep an eye on her for me. [;)]

Let me be the first to say "Congrats", even though it is just a little early. [8D]

Now, go make coffee. [:D]

Just Kidding. [;)]

Congrats Paula, and many more posts and starts too. [:p]
