and you are looking MAHVELOUS.

Love that long hair...I'm growing mine too!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear cwydro!

Oh, thank you, sweetie!

It's such a treat seeing you today...

I'm glad to hear you're growing your hair too.......it's fun!

Now you'll have to post some pics so we can all see, OK?

:hug:

[cwydro]

34. Hmmm.

Perhaps no on the pics. You know how shy I am. I think I have posted all of two in my years here.

My critters on the other hand get plenty of posting, lol. But then, they are prettier and cuter than I am so that works.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Now, how can we tell for sure...

if your critters are cuter than you.......if we've never seen a pic?

I know you're shy, sweetie...

But that can be changed...:hug:

[cwydro]

37. Naw, I did post a pic

I think it was in one of Lioness's threads. Mayhaps you were in Europe.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. If you have a link, I'll go have a look!

And then I won't bug you anymore about it...

[cwydro]

39. Ya know

I just have no idea. I think it might have been LP or KC2 pic thread. And at least two months ago. Getting ready to go to bed now, but I will search around tomorrow at work if I can. Not good at searching. I think it was in a KC2 pic thread.

I'll try to find it.

The volume of posts is only exceeded by the positive thoughts they contained. As a generally grumpy person, you are an inspiration. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

82. My dear Opposite Reaction!

I thank you!

That is a very sweet thing for you to say!

But....am I really all that grumpy?

:hide:

[Gold Metal Flake]

83. Ah! Bad writing!

I mean, as I am a generally grumpy person, there are some who are generally positive, and I value them highly and admire their outlook. You are one of those people!

:blush:

Wait, are you messing with me?

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]
