HWG - I hardly recognized you as you have "changed clothes" once again. I am glad that you at least keep the red hair in all your avatars or I might not recognize you at all.
I am sorry that you have not been smiling lately,
but you have certainly come to the right place, because Top definitely has a wonderful ability to bring a smile to a person's face.

LOL PA I had so much time on my hands that I made several versions of her with the same red hair. She is sort of a copy of the girl from the Wendy's restaurant commercials. So if you notice she is eating a burger and sipping a
cola. 
Oh and by the way my home is so spotless also.

I hadn't noticed the burger and cola, but I wonder if she will share if I ask nicely. If you have so much extra time, and seeing as your house is already spotless, you could drop on by mine and keep yourself busy for quite a while.

Here I was thinking of marketing a new game (perhaps you have heard of it ... it is called "Magnetic Scrabble") to occupy people's time and help to prevent nefarious activities such as this, and now I learn that my entrepreneurial skills are being overshadowed by spam?!

Alright, I am not very good with English let alone what you are speaking, so let me see if I can understand this correctly. You are trying to purify me with crepes and sandwiches?
Or perhaps you were hungry and planning your next meal?
