Like expecting a kiss, but
Getting slapped instead

Hey, I never congratulated this one.It is one of my favorites I saw! Say, can you see my emails from hotmail? I sent one or two since yesterday. Soup's mail is hard for me to do today. Just wondering if you got my last mail and the cute little video I forwarded you too. I need to get off here before i die of back pain. Luv, Andrea

You always express emotions impeccably, Susan. I hope your wonderful but sad writes are fictional, my friend!

How expressive! Succinct and to the point. It takes more skill to say it tersely than being verbose.
