morganaus, whom I have had the inestimable pleasure of calling friend since the summer of 2003!
If you have taste, as opposed to just tasting good, rush to her page now, and wish this most excellent specimen of womanly charm, humor, ambition, and grace, a very happy birthday with many happy returns. I would also add, speaking on behalf of the LJ friends who know Mary, if I may be so bold, to the obnoxious cretins and knuckle-draggers who sometimes accost this terrific lady in real life, "Get your filthy paws off her, you damned dirty apes! You're not worthy! ...and besides I saw her first!" Happy Birthday Mary, I hope that you are having a wonderful day.
Because, I'm one of those people who really believes one can feel, know, understand, etc. someone, from _just_ their words on one's screen. But I digress.
I LOVE beards in general!!! But honestly, do _not_ prefer van dyke beards. Until yours. I don't think I'm a convert to _all_ van dyke beards. But I must say that it looks very delicious, on you! And in fact, _you_ look very delicious. {Why do I 'want' to see whipped cream there, instead of shaving cream??} :-)
Disclaimer: I know I sound 'corny' or like I'm into 'super-flattery' and etc. I also know, this is me.. This is how I am... When I see something I applaud, I applaud it. And it's up to the one hearing, to make his/her own decisions on ~ how they take my words.
Should have said....
Sorrrrrrrrrrrrry...
