Uh oh. Hang in there Fish. Asking about amores pasados is sometimes like putting lemon juice on a paper cut. Smarts like hell! But it'll get better.

I'll have to try the lemon juice trick sometime.

"Sometimes a person has to go a very long distance out of her way to come back a short distance correctly"

Edward Albee, "Zoo Story"

I'm still on that very long distance, sounds like you are too, we'll have to meet for coffee along the way

Glad to hear you won't be doing that. Again. Ever.

I once Fedexed a smelly T back to England (like i'd trust USPS or the Brit carriers with such a gem)and received THE MOST OBNOXIOUSLY STINKY garment by return. Love died instantly. Hate to imagine what my T achieved, international-reputation-wise, though was told by recipient that he kept it in a ziploc. I have no further comment. Or apology, i'm all out.

(bites deeply into thumb, reads sign again) we love you, Fish

You need a vacation!

I agree with Mia. Who's petit hiboux's travel agent? I think Rio would agree with you just fine. And I haven't heard any mention of the company's dissolution lately so hopefully that worry passed.

Well, I made that mistake and discovered my Ex's boyfriend is better endowed than me.

Dammit.

I hope we're talking money here, Ric.

Of course! Whatever you say! :)

go fish, you rock.
