Sharks need love too (not all bite)

[Underdog]

Myrrh,

Of course Bob would be flattered! He didn't do his stage ladies for nothing! I hope he doesn't sue us like he got sued for doing one of them on the side...

Myrrh, I'm glad that I make you laugh. I really do work at that, so I'm happy knowing it makes you giggle.

Last summer (after our mobile homeless shelter was vandalized), Mr. Wonderful seemed really irritated that I found our lives funny. Back then I didn't mind the backslides as much, and I commented "YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT PERSON, MR. WONDERFUL..." He looked at me then and said sadly, "Please don't remind me, because I don't want to think about it."

I remember commenting back at him, "Well, I'm probably the most exciting girl you're ever going to meet. Why not agree to fall back in love with me?"

He wasn't at all thrilled with my follow up, and I decided to leave it alone.

But it IS true! As D9 would say, he wouldn't know funny if it reached out and tickled him...

Another comment before I get cracking here...

Last night at dinner, D9 took D6 to the bathroom for a few minutes, so he asked me some golf tournament questions. He sighed and said, "Organizing this could almost be a full time job if I let it."

I just sat there and smiled.

He looked at me, and I know he wanted me to pity him--we all know that it isn't going to happen. He said, "Tell me that you didn't devote this much time and energy into the past 4 tournaments."

I said, "Yep, I did. They were all labors of love, and I'm more than happy to help you when and where I can."

He smiled weakly and said, "Thanks. I'm going to need it."

Upward and onward. And my sincere gratitude for Bob Barker, his alternative staff on this BB--particularly in the form of a ball of energy named Meredith--and his unfailing optimism in life.

And if he's miserably depressed and a mean son-of-a-witch, he does a fabulous job of acting AS IF. I love him!
