Your Whipness,
I agree the name Sigh Co. is excrutiatingly brilliant, but it was not the Amrashador that thought it up. It was,
Your humble servant,
Former Historical Curator and High Priestess of Theoretical Realities, now Citizen Shar (but you can call me Rosebud)(wanting credit where credit is due, because I am due so little of it....)

Dear Rosebud,
Ah ha!!!!! The Rose has thorns!!! I am sooo pleased!!!!!!!!! Marvelous!!!
Most abjectedly, humbly, embarrassedly, I sincerely, authentically, genuinely apologize for my error!!!!! Of course, there's a perfectly rational explanation (or should that be rationalization???) for my horrific oversight (under sight, non-sight..) I've been chowing on a Tobler Chocolate Orange (LOVE the instructions - whack and unwrap - relieves tension in two ways...) Anyway, I digress. I was consuming chocolate to maintain the proper brown sticky lips and, in licking my fingertips, I smudged my reading glasses, and mistook the brilliant name (Sigh Co) as a creation of the Am., and not the excellence of you, Rosebud of Exceptional Thought. I beg for your forgiveness. (Sheesh....siiiiiiiiiigh)... I'm not nearly as good about getting out of the doghouse as the A-man. I suppose I could suggest that I flog myself with my own whip... ahhh.... nah.
Now, about this "so little credit due" stuff... I heartily take exception to that characterization. You are an inspiration to me.
Affectionately,
The Whip

Along with my beloved Whipness, Sterling CPE, and on behalf of our partially upright citizens let me say...Welcome to Lumptonia!
Indeed (((((Sweet Kath))))), Welcome Home!!
Rest assured, the behavior you've so eloquently described is truly Lumptonian. It is obvious (((((Sweet Kath))))), you are one of our little lost sheep now returned to the flock. This always thrills the Ambassador, especially when it is a little girl sheep!
The Ambassador would like to mention he particularly enjoyed the delicious description of your nightgown and bare feet (((((Sweet Kath))))). If you wish, he would be MOST pleased if you were to continue!
As you peruse The Lumptonian Chronicles you will learn about your people, your nation and your heritage. You will learn about our institutions, our ways, our language and our customs. Best of all, (((((Sweet Kath))))) you will learn about the special service available for Lumptonian females.
(((((Sweet Kath))))), we hope you come to love Lumptonia and her people as much as we do.
At your service,
Ambassador B of Lumptonia

Dearest Sterling Whipness,
There you go...using the "C" word. Is it no wonder the poor Ambassador feels soooooo confused and misunderstood.
Nevertheless, he would prefer not to taste the hot sting of your leather in this particular instance SO... (small paws)
ONCE AGAIN, the Ambassador apologizes if he possibly failed to express his MOST noble intentions to our new sheepess as well as perhaps he might have.
The Ambassador will try to make it up to her with some hugging!
Sincerely Your Little Puppy Paws,
Am B

Whereas, The Rosebud, being overly sensitive and always ready to interpret remarks as cruel or insensitive (as any good depressive will),
and
whereas, The Rosebud was shouted at to LIGHTEN UP in a previous thread,
and
whereas, The Rosebud has been told she has thorns,
it is necessary for The Rosebud to insert her head in the sand (actually, under her favorite blankie) so as not to hear anymore vituperative and vicious attacks on her person, and practice some snappy comebacks, while sniffling about why nobody likes her.Very hurtly and sssiiiggghhhingly yours,

Poor Rosebud,
I like you (or whatever THAT'S worth)! I think you are adorable and have a giant brain as well. I agree with The Whip that I could never have thought of a company name as clever as yours. Shoot, anyone would agree with that.
I'll say some more nice stuff to you if it'll make you feel better. It's awful when perfectly good lumping gets spoiled by the sniffles.
Your doting Ambassador,
B

Dearest darling Rosebud,
:::::furiously digging under the bankie to find you::::: I think you're terrific!
I sincerely apologize for not being clearer that I truly believe thorns are healthy!!!!!!!
Not only did I make a mistake in miscrediting the name of the company to our miscreating Ambassador, but I did so with a new Lumptonian person!!!! Ughhh.
Now, I will flog myself with my whip, deservedly so...

Thanks for sharing. This behaviour is suggestive of Borderline Personality Disorder. Have you thought of seeking help?

I like you too Hannah (for whatever that's worth also)! I think you are adorable and have a giant brain also. I'll bet you could think of some really clever company names too.
I'll say some more nice stuff to you if it would make you feel better, but at the moment I think I feel a sniffle coming on.
I better go now before I cry.

Lumptonia is a virtual nation. It has no boundaries, no army, and no government. To become a lumptonian, you must write a letter to the secretary general of the united nations demanding to be recognized as a lumptonian, and asking for represention.John

SEEEEEEEEEE what I mean! I said I was playin' with fire didn't I? I KNEEEEEEEEW what was going to happen! Did it anyway.There are words to live by that I shall repeat to myself a hundred times tonight or at least a couple: "Never get in the middle of a Sniffler and a Whiner tryin' to be sweet!" Your jest askin' for it!
Woe is me, I have kindled the ire of my dear, sniffly Rosebud who holds a place in my heart such as few others. Can Her Retireness ever forgive me?

Dear Puppy Paws,
Unfortunately, experience has taught (at least the Lumptonians) that your sleeping is never a quiet affair. Undoubtedly, you'll be breaking the peace.
As Constable, I must caution you to nap so as not to disturb others in any way....Constable CPE

I do believe it's time to hibernate. Maybe when I wake up things will be different. (Right...).
I am putting my dog condo next to the Am. dog house, so if there is an intruder with a gun he can take care of it. Now (yawn) I'm sooo sleepy (Klonopin) and my sleeping bag is sooo cozy....yawn...and my blankie feels jussstttt rigghhtttt.........

To all Lumptonians:
Should there be Official Rites of Initiation to gain admittance to Lumptonia?
Should there be Offical Rites of Passage as people progress through the different stages of Lumptonia? Of course, that'll require establishing what those different stages might be, such as pupating, crysallis, etc.
If someone leaves Lumptonia, would that be considered a Lumpectomy?

> To all Lumptonians:
>
> Should there be Official Rites of Initiation to gain admittance to Lumptonia?----------Heaven forbid that anyone have to do anything other than walk right in to join Lumptonia. In fact, it might be better to personally invite all individuals to join in, but only to the point of being assertive, not badgering people to join. Or, at a bare minimum always have a please join us banner flying.

> Should there be Offical Rites of Passage as people progress through the different stages of Lumptonia?
