I do wish I could adopt this clean shiny thread thingy at home!
Ah well, lets start the new month in the manner to which I've become accustomed.....
*neatly opens a bottle of 
and pours a glass*
The trick is to turn the bottle and not the cork, don't you know

*Looks puzzled*
The last time I turned a bottle, all the booze fell out .... 
Ah! Is that a I see before me? . Most appropriate. We're going to have a party for all the regulars ...
*Puts down huge box of party goodies*
I love a party .... just trying to remember the reason for this one .... what did you say it was, mari-rae?

*Straightens her old cardigan, shoves her new dentures firmly into her mouth, smooths the lovely white satin of her borrowed gown, and ties a blue ribbon in her hair. Hobbles over to Kes and whacks him with her cane.*
They don't make Archangels like they used to, do they?

I have been married twice and I wouldn't mind jumping in it again. If somebody asked, that is. And if he meant it.
Then again, I am not so sure marriage is as good to men.

Coniraya Posted Jun 2, 2003
What do you mean marriage isn't so good for men? I do all his washing and ironing, even picking the dirty clothes up off the floor! And he has asked me to wash and iron a new shirt especially for a big presentation tomorrow. I also put all his clean clothes away, which he is convinced he does himself
But then it doesn't work out too badly for me either because he is an absolute diamond.
Yay! Lets party!

That's what I meant, Caer. They may take the shape of sofa and loose the skills needed for independent life.

*Hands Caerwynn a glass of and brings out a bowl of fresh 
s. Inspects Kes anxiously for signs of becoming sofa shaped on her way back into the kitchen. To her relief he looks like his normal tall, lanky self.* 
*Emerges with party food*

So what sort of wedding are you two having?
Crossed Purposes - June 2003
Hati Posted Jun 2, 2003
A wedding wedding?
*thinks about Njan and Nyssa...*
Crossed Purposes - June 2003
Kes Posted Jun 2, 2003
Yes, a wedding wedding ... albeit a quiet one. Looking forward to it immensely.
*Catches sight of himself in a mirror.*
Do you think I'd look better re-upholstered in a nice floral print?
