Fuzzybear & Dingus & Kevin J. haven't told you the half of it, furs... there was another work of art they presented at the Boston Market... a cake! Oh, man... they actually made a likeness of Gene on a birthday cake for me! I swear, I almost cried... You three are the GREATEST. I mean it.. I've never had a birthday like this one. I owe all of you big time... :) Just wait 'til YOUR birthdays come round!!!

Well, I dunno if one can be *too* liked (though I am quite grateful for being liked so much!) but.. well, I DID ask 'em not to slime my jeans! And Dawndra is right.. though she did give a graphic desc. of what she did, she did not categorically state that I *had* to do the same. So the slugs are safe. Whether or not it's a change of heart for her, it's definitely a change of clothes for *me*. :)
