Once again I am expanding my online social circle, creating a powerful cyber-gang of my “biznatches” from both officejob and snailjob. I wanted to give them time to settle into the neighborhood before making introductions, but now they are ready.<\/p>\n

Fresh from a tour of the eastern provinces, where she lured sailors to their exquisite death with her siren song, comes operatic whiz kid . She likes fuschia, owns a puppy, hates wishy washy people who can’t produce & defend an opinion, and is taller than you will *ever* be, shortypants. Physically? She’s like a curly-haired, dimple-free Jennifer Garner. Mentally?
