*Struggles into February, dragging Blue Goo couch plus somnolent Pandora*
Welcome to another month, friends!
*Uncorks a bottle of champagne, and pours out several for whoever turns up next*

Hi folks
I'm back from my Madrid-trip, ole!
It was great, but my feets, oh, man...
Kes, thanks for opening the February thread -
Hey, who mentioned a Valentine's dance?? Was that you, Mari-Rae?? The idea is good, so let's make a Valentine's party, what do you think???

*Gives a goofy grin and helps herself to Kes's *
Welcome back Kasia. A Valentine's dance? I'm game! Is it a fancy dress or posh frocks do?

*Slaps Kes, who is leering at Mari on the back of his wrist*
Wind your tongue in that man!
*Places a pair of blue tinted glasses on Pan's nose and sits down on the couch to share several bottles of her*
This should help with any post-Alabaster shock Pan.

Good morning... I´m having a and my model of the Milenium Falcon to repair... Crashed this morning down from the shelf... I think that should happen more often... Gives me excuses to rebuild the thing over and over again...
*Takes a brick...

I thought you guys invented that Fahrenheit stuff, E. 33 C today in Christian units. Only been 31 for the last few weeks.
I once built the Empire State building, but I left it in front of an elctric fire and it turned into the Leaning Tower of Pisa

My scale models didn't need the benefit of an electric fire to turn out "different" ... All they needed was me and a tube of glue .... My version of a sea hawk jet with anhedral wings was quite something ....

You could have retaliated by screwing a couple of picture hooks in the top of them so they would 'fly' along a couple of hundred feet of fishing line.
And then when you were fifteen or so and had learnt how to make some interesting explosives in chemistry, you fill them up with chlorate weedkiller, sugar, and firing caps, and try potting them with an air rifle on the way down.
Not that I'm speaking from personal experience of course

Well, I´ve grown up in Germany, so I don´t care who invented Farenheit...
I remember my schoolmates doing some terrific things to modelairplanes... Wheeeeeeze....BANG...

*...begins to understand how E became brain-aly challanged...*
Some of the boys I grew up up liked model glue too...one of them has actually learned to tie his own shoes! I say E. it very impressive that your models crash down from the shelf
...does your shelf need leveling? Not flat, just up a wee on the left side, or somthing?
Kes, you ole' alibaster, you! Made me spit my rootbeer, you did... And to think I thought I'd be tired of of your puns long before now...you just seem to have a flare...I would have said, je is say qaaaa...but I have no idea how to spell it & we arn't 'sposed to say things that ain't English...pipp-pipp...
*trying to follow the rules...*
Mari-rae!!You seem to have a heart on!! *awaits to see it they'er going to pass up a chance like this...*
Oh Gwennie!!!! You may not believe me...but ever since you put the blue glasses on me...I'm back in goo! shhhh, don't tell anyone, but I'm a bit afraid to remove the glasses...if this turns back into alibaster...I may need a couch with a shrink attached to the other end...*eyes E.*
Nice socks mari-rae!!! *wonders if she's TRYING to look like she's lost in Kansas in the 50's...*
I'm gonna practice my yoga...Gwennie, anyone, care to joooin me? *sit atop a table & begins to stretch & day dream...*
*THIS SECTION OF PANDOA'S DAY DREAM HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY REMOVED FROM THIS CONVERSATION...YOU CAN FULL WELL GUESS WHY...*
Wha'?

(ROFLMAO!!!)
*Looks confusedly down at her socks, then at the back of Kes's wrist. Waves 'hi' to Seth and hands him her own personal hand-held battery operated fan. Looks at Pandora.*
What's wrong with my socks? Can't have a Valentine's Day sock hop without socks.
Actually, farenheit sounds like a germanic word. Well, doesn't it?
I never made models. Girls weren't encouraged to do it. I did do paper dolls. Interestingly enough I hated regular dolls. I'd rather climb trees, uncover ant eggs and watch the ants scramble to save them, identify birds, steal rides on the neighbor's horses, play explorers in the woods, go fishing, and play hide and seek after dark. Oh, and collect lightening bugs in a jar with holes punched into the lid and grass provided.
