I don’t know if you all will remember me… but I thought I’d pop in and say howdy anyway. 
Have I missed any exciting not-on-the-first-page-anymore news?? How is everyone?
Izz, dearest, are you out there??? PM when you have a chance!!
i remember you…welcome back. 
Now who did you say you was, again?
Aha. The aderyn_dudesteress returns!
Yep, you missed a great thread all about chocolate. We all decided to have a chocolate party, and every fronted up a bar or two of their favourite choccy… then we had kind of a prize draw, and the winner got all the different choccy bars from around the world!! Shan’t tell you who the winner was, but she’s a lot larger around the middle than she was the last time you were here! 
There’s been so much. You missed the $500.00 shoe shopping spree giveaway.
Don’t forget the toga party…
Who could forget the toga party!!
I’ve been having hypnotherapy in an attempt to forget the toga party. 
Chocolate, shoes, and togas… I can’t believe I missed it all. 
At least you all didn’t roll around in bubble wrap without me. Or did you??!!??!! 
Remember guys, we swore we’d never tell.
Mum’s the word. We know Dublihnn will never spill the beans, he was soooo out of it by that time! Remember how he just sat there on the floor saying “Groovy” over and over again? 
Hi Ad: How are ya? Hope things are well. You haven’t missed too much. Lots of back and forth wrangling over political and other heady social issues of our time, and not surprisingly, neither side has converted anyone.
Oh, Amar got a pink tatoo.
Take Care, Tom
Edited to add- Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the “bubble wrap thing.” I’d say more, but I’m not allowed, and besides, there may be children reading.
Nonsense. Both sides converted me to a political thread ignorer
Ahh, success at last!
Yeah, it was quite the party. By the way, someone left their dress by the pool. If this is your dress, contact Bloomfield to reclaim it. (He said something about “dancing nekkid in the woods and still being warm” …)
I keep telling you…it’s NOT the chocolate that’s contributing to my expanding waistline!!!
although I am sure that all the chocolate I did eat that night didn’t help, did it? 
Ad, you know I’ve missed you dearly!! Things just aren’t the same without you here. No one understands my shoe fetishes, and my silly sense of humor! Are you back for a while? Come over and sit a bit! 
Oh, and don’t let these guys fool you…the DID get the bubble wrap out, but I took it away almost immediately and told them that it wasn’t to be used till you came back. 
Ummmmmm…oops! I was wondering where that went…
::hurrying off to find Bloo’s email address::
We had a party here at the British wing of the Chiff and Fipple social club. We had tea and Cucumber sandwiches (with their crusts cut off!), you should have seen it, it was wild. 
Wild cucumbers? You gotta watch them nasty little buggers; they bite back.
Hi there!
Welcome back to the Asylum!
I hope everything is going well for you.
Take care, and Brightest Blessings!
