Congrats Eryka...

Everyone, please join me in congratulating Eryka. No... she has not become a moderator. THis is MUCH more prestigious (like there is anything that is not more prestigious). She has joined the ranks of the elite... the proud... those who truly understand the world.

I will let her break the news herself. She's a tad bit modest... so understand if she down plays the signficance of it. But to give you some idea, it has taken me years to get her to come around. Finally she has come to appreciate the vast wisdom in the advice I give.

So what could it be????

Hmm.

Brian

It clearly says in the OP that they had to "truely understand the world" any one who buys a catalina obviously doesn't.

Hey Scott,

Many people do not know it, but these guys just are harrassing me about the Catalina thing. It is an inside joke only, esp with John. BELIEVE ME, ESPECIALLY WITH JOHN!!

I was wondering if CD had somehow conned her into wearing depends from Amway.....after all one can only "truly understand the world" if doing it by the seats of your pants and often enough there are not enough restroom's / facilities for that lifestyle....
