Probably not, but things do not always make sense in this world,.. neither the unexpected goodies, nor the unexpected baddies. Surprisingly, they all seem to work out in balance, somehow....You may have to live a long time to see this, though. That is one of the downsides.

Sure ya do, whatever it is :)

all of that and more! Nice to see you! :)

Yes, and make sure you eat all of it. :)

That and so much more!!!!

No, you deserve to get shorter answers like this one that gets right to the point.

Deserve what?? The compliments and the kind words to welcome you back and to try to get you to stay? Of course you deserve them!!! Oh... and you also deserve this great big bowl of whipped cream dumped on your head! =P
