We are now hiring. Please step inside and provide semi-nekkid body shots. Do you have a problem with sexual harassment?

Are you letting Nikki out of her special place again? *grins*

*Serves a tray with hot chocolate, Moroccan Mint tea and plate of cornbread.* There's also butter, fruit preserves and honey if you want some.

So if one of your friendships with someone implodes you can always blame it on sobriety. Haha:D

Seriously though I'd add the words: tolerance and humor to that list of foundation-builders for friendships.
