    Lol, did not realize Lisa replied as well, so deleting the thread is a bit harsh. But still fully justified, given the language abuse. Posted 4 years ago

        Yes, there is a difference. With Lisa I can presume innocence. Not with you, we're way past that ;) Posted 4 years ago

              She was innocent until I corrupted her into playing my 'let's tease Ferdy' game. I merely suggested she comment on the post and use the term 'mushie' liberally.               Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
