We are still waiting for the ear muff story.

You can hear the earmuff story after you apologize for asking if I spent my last hiatus at a weight loss clinic. I mean, I know I've never shown you a picture of me, but it didn't exactly leave me feeling good.

And just why did you think that I thought you were there as a client? Did you stop to consider that I thought you might be there as an inspiration? Now who's being all judgey?

Listen mister, am I your special Lemon anymore or not?!?

The way you've been treating me lately, I think Sour Grapes comes closer.

But I am willing to forgive you

This time.

Now Tim, saying that Lemons was an inspiration to a weight loss clinic implies a weight loss from said lemons. You two should just call a truce. How about a nice friendly game of 3d chess?

Am I the only one who watches exercise videos with all of those ridiculously healthy 20 year olds hurling themselves about a gym encouraging me to "feel the burn"?

You don't have to be twenty:

"I want salsa."

The real action starts at 1 minute and 40 seconds.

Your post made me cry last night, and I thought of a variety of things I could say to try to prove the point that I was a good friend, blah, blah, blah. But maybe you're right. If I look at what's in front of me, every single friend (except Z) with whom I've enjoyed a fun repartee over the years has either ditched me or has become upset with me. So the common denominator is me. And aside from the fact that my personality on here can be big at times, I am not 100% sure what I did to drive people off. Or maybe that was it. Maybe my online personality was just too much. (I have to laugh inwardly at that, though, because in real life I'm the girl who people jovially make "quiet" jokes about.)

Anyway, I am sorry for upsetting you. I'm pretty good at being a friend in real life, I think. My best friends are ones I've had 20-40 years. But online I've learned I pretty much suck. It might be good if I left you alone, though. Since I don't know exactly what it is I do wrong, I'm bound to keep repeating it.

Thanks for the fun times on IMDb, though. You had the sharpest wit there and made me laugh harder than probably anyone. Please accept my apologies for getting us out of sync.

Now Lemons you*_ Know_* I love you like a second cousin twice removed and we will always be friends. Well as long as I stay on your good side.

But just in case there was any confusion, Malakai is famous for its medical facility. To say that you went there means nothing more than if you went to Hollywood which is famous for its fruits and nuts. It may be an interesting tourist attraction but I didn't for a minute think that you were a "client" .

But it is your own fault for not telling us why you were wearing earmuffs in Hawaii.

What's with the past tense? Are you trying to tell me something?

Thank you for the things you said, Tim. I love you, too, and I want to keep being your friend.

Well...gosh...if you're gonna get all mushy and stuff....

WHAT ABOUT THE EARMUFFS!!!

Oh yes! Well I'm afraid it will be a disappointment after all that build-up, but here it is. When I was growing up my mother had a pair of earmuffs that looked like a dead squirrel. I did not like them and I (jovially and lightheartedly) ribbed her about them, hoping she'd get a new pair. But she would not, so I spent my formative years with a mom who looked like she had a dead squirrel straddling her head in cold weather.

Talking about - unrelated - ear.

Ha! That's hilarious. I've never seen that, but I could probably blend in with that family on an outing to any public place with an escalator. My mother's dead squirrel hairband didn't move, so there's a silver lining!

I'm going to try to think up a fun thread this afternoon or tomorrow. I hope you'll come play with me in it!

I'm thinking of starting an intervention thread on your behalf.

Threadaholics Anonymous ?

I was thinking that we could go around the circle and each of us could say how Lemons went wrong in life. It would be done out of love. really
