Did you fall into a vat?

Hey girl:

I slipped on my stairs Friday coming down in the early morning for the bathroom. I was half asleep and well, anyway, I woke up pretty quickly after three steps. It was too painful to sit at the computer for any length of time but luckily I did not break any bones. I'm trying to figure out what the big bruise on my hip/upper thigh area looks like. I'm thinking maybe it's shaped like Florida.

Sorry to hear you fell down the stairs. Happy that you did not break any bones. Wow a bruise that looks like Florida. I guess that is better than a bruise that looks like New York, Texas or Alaska. We must be getting old Kathy because I fall down too, when I least expect it. I have a bruise on my inner ankle from falling off my bicycle that looks like the The Small Magellanic Cloud, or Nubecula Minor. It is not a huge bruise that is why I picked the small cloud instead of the big one.

Hey Kathy I'll investigate your hip and upper thigh for you as I know what damage stairs can do to them. I'll bring two lots of cream with me as well, first tub of cream will be smeared over the injured parts and thoroughly rubbed into the affected areas. Second tub of cream will be ice cream and the flavour will be of your choosing, we can demolish that while I'm teaching you how to speak cockney English, example of a cockney accent is spoken by the oldish gent in the link.

don't taste like it ough-a?

No, not quite right? I learn quickly though. Why, I've almost mastered the elusive Boston "pahk the cah in hahvahd yahd" accent and I've lived in Massachusetts my whole life!

Your offer is very kind, Moros and one of my very favorite flavors of ice cream ( oh, oops flavours, right? or just flahvahs?) is Coffee Toffee Bar Crunch. Ooh, but this Chillin' the Roast flavor looks really good too. Hope you like coffee, Moros! :P

So, the Florida bruise is coming along nicely, mixing in shades of green and yellow to blend in with the mostly purple-ish background.

Lili, yup I am one of the Clumsy Kindred and not just now that I am older. When I was little, occasionally our mothers would take turns bringing my friends and I hiking or whatever. If there was any body of water nearby, I was guaranteed to fall in it. Ah, imagine the joy on any parent's face when shuffling around a screeching group of ten year old girls. The JOY!!

Hi Kathy,
Where you attacked by more stairs or was it a stare this time?

I've been away on a mission. You see, I am a reclusive and incredibly wealthy person and I just love missions. I'm a bit eccentric and live in a house with my butler whom I have known since childhood.

On the more mundane side of things, I've been doing some family stuff. My dad's birthday was Sunday (the 14th).

First of all secret squirrel you sound more like Bruce Wane, reclusive and incredibly wealthy and a butler you have known your whole life, instead of James Bond. However being secret squirrel that part is probably a trick to confuse me.

Hope your Dad had a happy birthday.

Sincerely Yours
The Yellow Pinkie

I swear on my purple fedora that I'll get you one day, Yellow Pinkie!

(that's it, I have to mod the brown brimmed hat in Dungeon Siege to be purple...)
