* This my 180th post on this blog since it began in August, and since it’s Thanksgiving, these are a few of the things I’m grateful for, and more. There are so many things to ย be thankful for. I don’t think I can exhaust this list.

Fabulo-la at http://YourWebsite
Tweetie! I am thankful for you too!
But err…Veras name came before mine again?

Bola at http://YourWebsite
You know how many Bolas, Kolas, Solas, Jolas, Dolas, Lolas etc. there are out there. Could be that you got another Bola in mind. But who cares! This time, I’ll rather be ignorant and happy. ๐

Veeeeery funny. So you think the world will believe that you make me “raving mad” when we both know the opposite is the truth? Dude, what is your problem this time, ehn? After all, you’re already scoring your points with dem ladies! (Hopefully, the remaining ones will come & register their presence here too)
What else do you want, “big boy”?
Crazy fella, you are!
PS: I’m praying Bumight will come here too, and soon. Say Amen ๐

I don’t even know what to say to you. Maybe I should tell Daddy to stop giving you pocket money for about a few weeks. It should calm you down a little bit, I think. ๐

You, Vera. You! Hahahaha. Hmm, okay, what can I say now that I haven’t said before, eh?
But be sure that I will figure these all out, and get back to/at you. Watch out ๐
And…with these your three question marks, I am tempted to ask: Audrey who? Okay, maybe I shouldn’t ask ๐
