re: #48: I SAW that, Cuddle! The thing is, I actually liked that one ;)— November 14, 2009 6:32 p.m.

That's a real pal, Ms G ;) Well, I think I'm cyber-marrying FullFlavorPike, but he seems to have been frightened off. Anyway, as they say--the show must go on...— November 14, 2009 6:29 p.m.

That "Disco Whistler" is sweet. We'll reserve it for Pete as one of the groomsmen. But this is Pike right here! http://www.uglydress.com/duddoyoulikm.html— November 14, 2009 6:25 p.m.

Just what I like to see--communal effort! Let's throw a weddin' y'all! Then let's raise a barn! ;) re: #36 and 37 bridalwear suggestions: I'll wear the flipflops with the Marchesa dress. Because I want my ladies to look hot in pink: AG as maid of honor will wear: http://www.uglydress.com/anotherred.html CuddleFish, and--should she accept the mission)--MsGrant can wear these fuschia beauties: http://www.uglydress.com/fusciatwins.html AG, we'll have to order more of those flip flops for all! Suzy Q was my nickname growing up, so that cake arrangement would work very well. We'll just affix the "fishing couple" topper to the top of the cake plate. I love it when a plan comes together!— November 14, 2009 6:15 p.m.

I haven't finished Soloman's The Noonday Demon yet--had to return it, but will get it back. One book on depression that I have found most helpful is "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy," by David D. Burns, MD. Practical stuff, and lots of attention to depression-related procrastination ;) As for Walden, boy it's been a long time. I liked Emerson better than Thoreau, and think Thoreau was only slightly less a fraud about being out in nature. In that era and mood, Wordsworth and Coleridge's musings on the great outdoors are fun to read. I myself need to be updated on contemporary fiction, and have felt too guilty to crack a novel when I should be reading for my own project, so I also stick with the New Yorkers, and Harpers, and some food-related stuff. Maybe refried will have some recommends--he had me reading Bukowski's Post Office some months ago--frustration over work and bureaucracy being the major theme, I am forwarding by snail the copy to AG ;)— November 14, 2009 2:50 p.m.

refried's not fallen out of favor--was joking above, and just know he's busy this weekend-- but he will surely want to come back and comment on your sitch. "Kate and Leopold" is playing on Encore, and I turned it on just as I started to read your post. Hugh Jackman's character (19th cent. Duke of Albany) is complaining to Meg Ryan about the "General of Electric's" badly designed device--because "toast should be a result of reflection and study." Which reminds me that trying MFK Fisher's recipe for slow cooked eggs (minus the scramble) is amazing. Takes about an hour on really low flame, barely stirred. Most melting-in-the-mouth eggs ever. ; So my 64K question would be: what are you going to read while on hiatus?— November 14, 2009 12:42 p.m.

re: #32: Pete, I don't believe you were even on the E-Vite (TM) list, much less the gawdfather and namesake of our future cyber-child! --And you certainly won't officiate--that's the job for this guy: http://www.vivalasvegasweddings.com/elvis_in_conc… So, Pikey, I'm going to send my ma---nservant by, and under the guise of a pizza order, he'll be slipping you some invitation designs to approve. I personally like the ones with Elvis singing to the cartoon swans.— November 14, 2009 11:20 a.m.

re: #25 through #28: Cuddle, you are a fool. Adam is not only bright, witty, loves cats, and peace and love on earth--he is CUTER than Clay Aiken AND his 400 haircuts. Fool, I say.— November 14, 2009 11:13 a.m.

Actually, we get enough 'claws' comments from all the Aww-chie Bunkahs on this site, Adam, so you may have caught us off guard. Fortunately, however, claws spring forth from their sheaths just as handily as they retract. Mrauhhhhh! ;) PS: Sounds like you've got your wimmin folk alllll figgered out. Now: Git-R-Done (TM) :)— November 13, 2009 10:53 p.m.

Oh hey, Adam--Russian, is it? You may get exactly FOUR years of dubious bliss out of the deal, or so I hear ;)— November 13, 2009 10:32 p.m.
