Which side are you on?

Mhmmmm

If I pick stomach as a side what do I win? 

I was going to say Twinkle's answer and use this Lou Reed song under as an example!
:) :)! 
Great Post!

:) :)!

Hi Merlin -- unrelated to the posts here, sorry -- thinking my private messaging capability on the site might be off - - I sent a message in reply to you several days ago and received no reply. Sent several others recently, too, and have received no replies. Nothing urgent in any of them or anything, just wondering if my messages are getting out there. :) Be Well :)

Good Morning Welby~ Yes, I did receive a beautiful message from you.  It brought smiles and sparkles that filled our living room.  :) :)
It is in poor form not to thank a person who thanked you back.  There is no excuse.  I should have prioritized better.  I have large regret and showed lack of manners.  I am truly sorry for my callous behavior. :( :(. 
You are a wonderful person and our friendship is very dear to me.  I am sorry if I hurt you in any way.
Thank you, again, for your kindness and soft words.  They are uplifting and heartwarming.
I love you to pieces and thanks again for the lovely letter.
:) :)!

It is all very good!
:)

Thank you Merlin!
:)

I truly only wanted to make sure you had read my message to you; a specific reply back to me wasn't my intention - - just glad you saw it. I'm glad you got it.
:)

Happy Thoughts and Good Vibes, Always!
:) :)!

Yes!

Hi Twinkle Has the Most Stuff! Unrelated to the posts, sorry - - Off to work for me but did you get a private message from me recently? It's no emergency or anything but I'm thinking my messaging capability on the site my be off - - have sent some in the past several days and received no replies from others. Thanks, in any case - - have a great day - - be well :)

Oh my dear Welby.  Yes.  I did recieve your message and so did Jon and I can assure you that you've been on our mind ever since.  I wanted so desperately to reply to you but mine and Jon's day veered so terribly off course for us yesterday that we never had an opportunity to respond.  I felt like you deserved our true time and attention and we didnt want to just haphazardly toss a message your way that failed to mine any depth.  I am so sorry.  You are not only on my mind but also at the top of my "to do" list.  So, rest assured today I will be doing you.  Hey wait.  Hmmm.  LOL!

Thank you SO much. Sincerely. It's all I can say at the moment -- and add tons of love to my few words here.
:)

So, now onto doing me, ha! That is so funny! :)

BTW, you are personally responsible for my new screen name and my new "stuffed cookie" avatar.  That crazy oreo thread.  LOL!  Just thought you should know.

Excellent!:)
Ha!

I inspire all with whom I come in contact!

Ick - ha!  :)

Going to work now and quickly asking you, too, as I've asked some others - - did you get a private message from me recently? I've sent several out in the last several days and have not received any replies. Nothing urgent at all in any of them, just wondering if my messaging capability on the site is working properly. Hey, hope you're great - - have a great day!
Be Well,
:)

Yes, I sent you a message, Welby.
