Sounds like a great subject for a great movie. Irony.

Dear Allaya

Thanks for the tip! Have been horribly bunged up from hayfever but as I'm
also in pod I haven't been able to dose myself up with the usual bucketful
of anti-histamines. Am off to sniff hot Olbas Oil and see if I can get my
nose working!

ROFLMAO, and I missed it the first go-round, too, Katherine! Man...Allaya,
*definitely* a warning; laughing that much at the ungodly - to me - hour of

And Marika - ROFL to your comments, too. I especially liked

>So, this duality can't be portrayed in a movie?

Hmm. Y'know, wouldn't this scene be great in a movie? I dunno, I just can't
seem to get the idea out of my head now, for some reason...
