aha! It's working for once. Okay what I've been trying to post for the last three days is that I'm new here. I've caught up on my reading and I think I understand. I'm hoping I'll fit in, considering the fact that most of my friends
think I'm pretty bizarre, I think I will.

grrr. Okay I think I've got it this time. The wraparound sort of threw me
off. As you've probably read already I've been trying to figure this
damn thing out for three days. I'm new, etc. Anyway I'm hoping that this
time it will post correctly. I think I get the idea behind this newsgroup
and I'm hoping I'll fit in. I am considered pretty bizarre by my friends, and
looking at some of the things people write around here, I'd say so are many
of you, so I think we'll get along just fine. Okey Dokey. I'm outta here.

How charming. A dragon... can you sing for us mistuh dragun? Can you sing?
"Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea-tray in the sky..."

Are your songs cheery and fluff, mistuh dragun? Will they surprise the eyes
while I imagine the cries and whirls and swirls of your songs of old worlds,
and mine? Will I dream of your clouds and your castles of air?

Or will you get a sig you can work with?

Yep. Actually, we're trying to figure out how to get them to not stain
quite so long. It has about the same appeal as the stains from the colored
pistacios. However, if you like the purple staining effect, better say so
before we get rid of it.

Cheese is indeed good - I don't know if I prefer Muenster, or Provolone,
or Colby, or Monterey Jack, or string mozzarella . . . oh, there are just
so many choices . . . but the ultimate taste treat would have to be . . .
cheese fudge!! Yes, chocolate cheese - it is just nummy!!

Just who are "we?"

And what ghastly, evil thing <shudder> are "we" going to do to the
pomengranates?

This doesn't have anything to do with the dream I had last night about
angry, rabid vegetables, does it? They railed at me and had frowns on
their "faces." I was scared...

I'm not sure. Don't belive I've met him yet. It may or may not work. For those
who've seen the "apple quenchers" commercials, you'll not that "fruits
aren't really team players", but if I can, I'll try to get them to cooperate.
You see, that's why they need an image consultant in the firest place, they're
kinda nonsocial. And not very popular in the mainstream fruit corner because
of it.

Tee,hee. It's okay with me, since I'm only pseudo anyway. Actually at one
point it went from brown (my real color) to blond, to pink, to orange, to
red-brown, to black, and now to an auburn in about two months. Now I just
keep it one color, since it's kinda in bad shape and breaking off and tangling
etc. from said dying. =(
