Hi folks!

I've been off on vacation for a few weeks and am stunned at I've seen/heard since I got back. I know I've only heard a small fraction of things, but....

So, I think we all need a big hug. I don't have any fancy graphics for it (low-tech, that's me) but here it is anyway.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{fff.net folks}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

And I think maybe some drinks to go with the hug.

So...come on in my friends! Drink up and hug your neighbor!

RMMC--Welcome back! Haven't paid much attention to the bickering myself, and many folks here have been real good to me.

I'll take that drink anyhow. Nothing but love here

Welcome back, RMMC!

Yeah, there's been some ugly business going 'round... I personally try to stay out of it, but it is there.

Let's take some advice from our dear Kaylee and just be happy! Like Jewel says in one of the extras on the discs, we (in her case, the Serenity crew) are all "one big family".

I'll take one of those drinks...

Ok, hugged all round... I think I'll just stay and relax.

RESE

As has been said today, I've been on vacation, too. It's a bit rough, coming home (RL home!) is it not? So, a biiiiiiiiig group hug sounds just about right!

And a round of "Tahiti Drink"! (As soon as I figure out the recipe, I'll post it) There really is a drink called "Tahiti Drink" -- Google it ifn't don't believe me. It packs a real wollop and makes you all manner of friendly; so cheers!

There was meanness and vindictiveness, here? On our little ole boat? Let me at 'em!

Eeeeeeuugh!
I'm drowning in berry juice from
all that fruit I raided and brought
back into the other thread.
Unloading the shuttle is a fine thing,
but easy does it. Standing there
and stuffing face is understandable
(sooooo yummy!) but let's get these
things properly stowed, eh?
Can't hug with berries in hand --
tends to squash 'em.

Blackberries, blueberries stain the fur bun! Quick, get thee to a vibe-shower!

But, thanks for the berries, here and on the other thread. I'd be making a quick get-away, too, things bein' what they are over there.

I can't get this silly song out of my head "Bun On the Run" (sung to the tune of "Band on the Run" thanks, Sir Paul).

OOhh, the foot-up-elevated thing feels right nice! Shove over that ottoman a bit; there, that's better!

) so welcome to you! Its a pleasure to meet ya and an honor to share a drink and a hug with ya.

*sips her drink and looks around* There seems to be a few other faces that are kinda new to me here. Nice to meet ya asortafairytale kelkhil and seaotter. *hugs the new folks* Please let me get the new round for ya.

*looks over at FM and the rest with their feet up on ottomans* I suppose this means I should take my feet off the coffee table, right? *takes her feet off the table, gets up and hugs everyone in the place, returns to her chair and puts her feet on an available footstool*

Thanks for the nice welcome home folks! I was getting a little nuts them last few days being without any FF or fff.net. First time I ever got homesick while on vacation. *sniffle*

The bar's still open and servin' whatever takes your fancy, alcoholic and non, so if ya'll haven't joined us, come on in!

*giggle* But then we'd have to whip the bad folks.

On the other hand, that could be fun.

We got plenty of ottomans. Make yourself comfy!

This is very comfy. Sigh. It's good to be here.

I'm not sure how a group hug turned into whipping the bad folks, but I'll just let that go while I drift off into a happy daze.

If anyone needs another hug, let me know. You might have to wake me up.

You started it with the Ottoman Empire. The main punishment was the kurbash which was a whip made from either rhinoceros or hippotamus hide. Very nasty. yeah, I don't like where my brain goes at times, either, and I'm getting too tired to censor it from hitting the keyboard. Sorry.

How about some cheerful subjects?

I met several browncoats while I was away and tried to encourage them to come join us. Talked another handful of folks into trying to watched either the BDS or the BDM.

One of my friend's sells buttons. I got one that says 'the dust bunnies are talking to me...and they don't like you.' He also very kindly made some Browncoat buttons for me. ("I'm a browncoat, ask me how.")

But where does the rhinoceros or hippotamus hide? Behind the ottomans?

Sorry, it's been a long week and I'm getting silly. (My better half would say, "Getting?")

Another round of hugs! And I'm off for the night. Good night, everybody.
