17. Buffy!

You are pretty great yourself, what with all this Fundie slaying going on.

The best that I can do is piss them off like a bunch of yellow-jackets.

20. Chris, you know what ...

You have become one of my very favorite DUers.

You love almost all of the DUers, even when they think they're unlovable. You are all heart honey! We're lucky that you're here!

28. I've been in a funk!

I don't get sick very often which is a damn good thing because I have been a bitch_on_wheels for the past week. But I haven't killed anyone yet so I guess that no real harm has been done.

But you're right. progmom rocks! We all love her. Even if she does never play my Jimmy Smith requests. :P

I'm working on mega downsizing for easier traveling.

I haven't figured out a shrinking spell for Frodo - so I may really NEED a Mini-Macaw to keep me company.

26. Good Morning billyskank!

MissHoneychurch and I have been good friends since my earliest days at DU. I guess honesty is one of the things that keeps us good friends. I know that she isn't ever going to try to feed me a line of bullshit about anything. That's why I love her so much!

What time is it where you are? Is this your afternoon already or what.

And noon time there. Okay now I'll look for your bedtime around my supper time. I'm usually missing from the site as you are turning in for the night cause I'm playing with parrots about then.

56. She'd prefer McDonalds.

She whines about it all the time now.

"I don't want salmon and wild rice! I want Chicken McNuggets!"
*pouts*
"All the other kids get McDonalds and their moms don't make them eat fish!"
Of course, when it's time for us to make some cookies or ice cream together she brightens right up.

Generous, fun, warm, and she will cover your back in difficult situations. Her pixellated self is such a delight, I'm certain she would be a kick to know in real life.
