I won't be all over you babe. <hugs>

Fastso is a troll so I won't bother to comment further.
You know that I am, and always will be, in YOUR corner!

If I had but one more Almond Joy bar to put in my mother's hands... <sob>

After my experience with her death, I don't regret that slice of
chocolate cheesecake I savored last night. I've not eaten anything like
that in months and it took me a good 1/2 an hour.

There are just some things in life...

I know that you, of all people, understand.
