MP mrs. pineapple Member Joined: May 12, 2003 Posts: 611	MP mrs. pineapple Posted posted on Mon, Nov 21, 2005 5:03 PM I was wondering why we didn't see any posts to this thread on Sunday afternoon, then we saw Mr. Thrill at about 1 pm Sunday afternoon, and he looked, ummm, slightly worse for wear? oops, I'm sorry, he was looking dashing as always :wink: Mr Pineapple was feeling a little rummy himself Sunday, but little Carter Pineapple once again saved Mommy and Daddy from themselves! I suppose it went late? M & R - you two are consistently the best hosts in town! It was just lovely, and I was drinking juice! even Martin's virgin drinks are special and yummy! xoxox mrs. pineapple
