and/or allthemore...

Another one, good grief!

Must be strong, must be brave, I can take this like the man I really am....

now, I know I'm in lust...

i passed the point of lust with riette a while ago, but it's fun going back!

You mean you got bored???? �growl�

no not bored. in love!!!!

Mock mock mock, that's all you ever do! �smooch�

nope, I put out, too... (not to mention all the fantasizing!)

I'll be sure to include a clip of ma manhood on the video then...

Ooh, now there are a few spontaneous visuals! Do we mean some footage, an actual little clipped-off piece, or what? Or am I being too flattering by referring to "foot"age? :-}. Or do we mean pictures of Ma Manhood, Pa Manhood, and all the Little Manhoods?

ha-ha! I meant footage that will reveal my true sex...

all seven of them...

Flatterer!

Maybe we can hook that footage up to do a live feed on the website.

You'll need 3-d glasses though - and a psychotherapist's support for the gruesome sight!

I always liked 3-d glasses, they make things seem so close you can touch them.

Cheeky man!

So far, I'm just agreeing with you. Still it would be rather nostalgic, I haven't used 3-d glasses since grade school. Now, you need two video cameras, splice the feed from the two onto one channel of the same deck...

Oh dear....you think you could drive yourself over here, and help me???

Sure, why not? Now what did I do with that amphibious vehicle...... I seem to recall having an amphicar around somewhere. Then I got to get a large U=Haul for the fuel... No gas stations in the ocean...

Oh, surely you'll run into a sunk oil tanker or two. The very trip will be a constant refuel!

I never thought of that, but it is entirely possible that there is a tanker or two sunk out there. It'd be my luck to miss them all.

You don't seem the type of person who is plagued by bad luck, so I'm staying hopeful.

You are right. I'm the kind of person that relies on luck just a little to much. Sometimes that has gotten me into trouble. I have the attitude that as long as I stay positive, positive things happen. So far, I've been right. It's just that sometimes, it takes a little long for the positive to overcome the negative. Like the time several friends and myself decided to camp out in Death Valley in August. We were using air stills for water. We hit a point where, for a four day stretch, the nighttime humidity was too low for our stills to produce enough water for much activity the next day. So we had to lay low for days on end. But we came out alright. We were in the military then. Had we been civilians, we'd have gone to jail when we came out. Death Valley is closed in August. because of the extreme heat. Daytime temperatures can hit 135 degrees F.

thinking positive thoughts *does* bring about positive things. it took me a very long time to learn that, but it is a truism that i live by now.

By being Positive, even when you feel negative, you can make your negative feelings diminish, maybe even vanish.

Das Wort zum Samstag.

What does Samstag mean?

Saturday.

Ok, thank you, Riette. What to say next, I have no idea.

Say something to mock me.

Well, That is difficult just now. However I am wondering. What did you do on Sunday, Riette?

Oh, because I didn't come here? I thought you didn't even notice. Booh-hoo! Alright, alright, I'll stop moaning, and tell you: I did bugger all! ha-ha! Absolutely nothing! I watched a Disney movie (Robin Hood) with my girls, and the rest of the day I ate and ate and ate, played with them, and, oh, yes, I started work on my new picture, so I wasn't completely decadent!

How could you think, for one minute, Riette, That I would not notice. I talk to you more than ten times as much as I talk to anyone else. How could I possibly not miss you? Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the day. I did too. I went to church in the morning and then went to Laura's place, and she BBQed some chicken.

You do? You DID? I'm so glad. Can I ask you something about Laura over e-mail?

Absolutely, Riette. Akk anything you want.

Or, Riette, you could also ask. Sometimes I get a little brain-dead.

ha-ha! AKK! I did - and hope you know you don't HAVE to answer it.

Two things I never do, Riette: I never lie to my friends, and I never conceal anything from them either.

And I don't want to prod and push to the point where you feel the need to run.

From you Riette? I'd have to be completely out of my mind.

ha-ha! I thought you were anyway! (just kidding, really!)

Riette, you have a point there. However, I have to be a raving lunatic to run from you.

ha-ha! I could always turn you into one - but you have to ask nicely!

OOH!! Sounds like fun, Riette!!! Can I?

Oh, alright, just this once. Come a little closer.

That's great, Riette, Doing it from a distance was getting a little rough.

Far too rough. I'll be very tender now, I promise. Do you like it when I do this? And THIS? How about....stop that, Tim!

Oh Riette, Do I have to?

Not really; you know how sometimes when you say stop you really mean, don't stop. Especially when you do THAT! �shriek�

Oh OK riette!! Once more from the top then??

�giggling uncontrollably� Anywhere you like!

Oh good, Riette, let's go at random then.

Sure, Tim - how does that work?

OK Riette, Here goes, start in one place, then somewhere completely different. Repeat.

How many times?

As often as you want, Riette!

And what would your girlfriend think about that, young man??? Do you want me to go strict on you???

Well Riette, whatever you think appropriate...

and if nothing is appropriate, just go ahead and get naked...

I am naked. And even that isn't inappropriate, 'cos I just got up. Damn, why do I have to be so uncool??

certain parts of me are up now, as well... (no drafts?)

ha-ha! And �pointing at it with my foot� the drafts are over there....!
