P. S. Congrats on your milestone! :toast: I'm looking forward to many more!

[SeattleGirl]

4. Wesley!

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

5. I'm shamelessly kicking this, cause not everyone's picked up

their hugs!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear SeattleGirl!

Biggo congratulations, sweetie, for all those wonderful and wicked posts!

I am honored to be mentioned in such a stellar company!

Here's to many, many more posts ......:toast:

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

8. Darlin' Miss Peggy!

Thank you, my friend! Thank you more than I can say for your friendship. :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Hissyspit]

7. And Hissyspit for his Guacomole Dorito/cheddar cheese dependence.

He needs all the support he can get.

Congrats, SeattleGirl! Those are really nice comments.

[SeattleGirl]

9. I'll support you in trying to kick your dependence

However, it IS Saturday, so you may wait until Sunday to begin your new life of purity!





Enjoy while you have the chance! Tomorrow, you can try going cold turkey!

:hug:

[Hissyspit]

21. Actually, tonight I've got red, blue & white tortilla chips from Moe's

to put my cheddar cheese on.

[SeattleGirl]

22. I myself have a burning desire for pizza that I can only get

in Oregon! Damn, I've had this craving for 4 freakin' days! Wish my addiction was as easy to satisfy as yours!

[Hissyspit]

26. Isn't Oregon like a two-day drive for you?

Yikes. I get cravings like that, too. My friends and I used to drive almost two hours to get this great stromboli!

[SeattleGirl]

30. Actually, my family (and pizza) are only about a 4-1/2 hour drive

And I'm also getting a burning desire to see them too!

[Hissyspit]

46. That's like me driving almost to Washington D.C. from here in NC!

Basically across two East Coast states. Which I was thinking of doing tomorrow night. There's a march to the Pentagon on Monday.

[SeattleGirl]

48. Now THAT I would like to attend!

Never been to DC, though one day I will get there. If you go, give 'em hell (but don't get arrested, okay?)

[Missy Vixen]

10. Hugs to you, too, SeattleGirl!

[SeattleGirl]

113. How many times do I have to apologize?

Would groveling help? Looking at you with sad puppy dog eyes?

[MissHoneychurch]

116. I think a walk through the Lounge

in that hot dress you stole from DA would help a lot :P

[SeattleGirl]

118. Do you mean this one?

(And it was southlandshari I stole it from).

[southlandshari]

123. Hell yeah, it was me

you stole it from, you Naughty Girl!
