TJ - (to quote you) - you know that little electric shock feeling in the belly/hip area? <BR>
<BR>
There is not enough written about that magnificent little electric shock or of its significance to a woman (I wonder if men get it too?). But that's the best description I've ever read of it. What a compliment! (and so true)

Chances ~ mmmmm.......yeah. So you know what I'm talking about. That place that causes the sharp intake of breath and time to freeze for a moment. And when time starts back up it brings an arch to your spine and a quiver to your skin.<BR>
<BR>
Yes, it is one of those often unspoken of delicacies we enjoy. <BR>

spaded ~ unfortunately, Misti (aka the 'Mercedes Murderer') just got sentenced to twenty years today and won't have much access to a computer in the near and distant future. Oh wait, sorry, that was another woman from Texas. Well, anyhow the husband deserved it, the cheating bastard. (Not Chris, just so you're not confused)<BR>
<BR>
but seriously...<BR>
<BR>
Misti's fine, just taking some downtime to focus on other things. Not that I'm her spokeperson or anything but just didn't want you to worry.<BR>
<BR>
But since she's not around, I can spill the beans...her birthday is Monday, February 17th. Maybe we could entice her back with lots of well wishes :-)<BR>
