TICK WARNING!

joannie

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I
have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally... but this one is real, and it's important. So please send this warning to everyone on your e- mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!! They
only want to see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

Did you notice the van parked out front? They actually take videos of it and post them on the internet. Yours is very interesting.

ritaanz

x:o You didn't. Do all Okies do that?

joannie

Only because it was a hot sunny day and the guy at the door was really cute.x;-)

ritaanz

How cute was he?

joannie

He looked just like Ray!

ray a

And she invited me back the next day.

Why? Was he collecting ticks?

ray a

I'm on my way to Phoenix. You and Q are next.

ritaanz

Yippie Ty Yiy Yay!!! Hey Q, got your spurs on? Let's play rodeo.

HRQ

You guys have at it. I'll be in charge of the camera.

Fellow forumites, in a few weeks, check your Private Message box for the announcement of my new training video, including stars from our very own Forum!

The training topic is a secret, but I promise the video will be riveting, and will involve spurs, ticks, very little clothing, and ritaanz (fully dressed, including spurs) kicking a lot of a$$. x:D

ritaanz

Poor, poor Ray.

joannie

ritaanz,
Are you going to be kicking my a$$ or Ray's? Or are we exempt from the a$$ kicking?xpray

ritaanz

Jo, this is Q's dream, ask her.

joannie

What about it Q? You wouldn't have 2 such nice people as Ray and myself subjecte to physical abuse, would you?

HRQ

Ray's the one who said he's coming out here to try the ol' Tick Scam on me and Rita. I merely suggested that Rita isn't falling for his shenanigans and I'll be ready with a video camera to document her reaction. x:D

joannie

Ladies,
In case you haven't noticed, we have not heard from ray since 10:00 this morning. I'd be watching that direct flight from NY to AZ if I were ya'll.

ray a

It sure is hot here in AZ. I'll be staying with my daughter for a few days. Q, you're first. I'll be at your place of employment first thing Friday morning. Ritaanz, you're next. Sharpen those spurs.

ritaanz

Ray, Honey, Baby, Sweetheart:
I don't work on Fridays. x:D

HRQ

I don't come to work first thing in the morning. I thought moseying in just in time for lunch was standard for HR types.

ray a

You're both chicken. What are you going to do when I visit Phoenix for real? I will be there.

HRQ

We will happily meet you and Mrs. Ray for lunch, of course! You just have to do it on our schedule. That means no fridays, and nothing before noon. We don't work during those times.

ritaanz

Hey Q, Let's make a scrapbook of Ray's posts and emails as a welcome to AZ gift for the dear wifey-poo. I'm sure she'll love it. We can add our comments and thoughts too. x}>

HRQ

Better yet, let's invite her to lunch WITHOUT Ray. She can add her own comments to the scrapbook. x:D I wonder what he tells her about his Forum friends?

ray a

Are you girls trying cause trouble for me? She refers to you as my "fake friends". You're all imaginary.

HRQ

Since we are imaginary, be sure to tell her we look exactly like Giselle Bundchen and Cindy Crawford, but wearing spurs.

Typing "Giselle" reminded me of Rita's coworker The Gazelle. How'd that carpal tunnel injury turn out, Rita? She get worse? Better? She start wearing sensible shoes?

ray a

Yep, I told her you look just like Giselle and Ritaanz looks like Morgan Fairchild.
