    Psst.... Psst, over here.... Shhhhhhhhh Hi All - Dr. One Friend here again.  E is still busy dealing with a (not so) minor crisis with her Lady.  Since I feel sorry for you guys, I am going to finish the story for her.  Don't tell t...

  • We interrupt this broadcast... on Nov 17, 2009

    Hi All - The magnificent Dr. One-Friend here. E had to go away, something about her Lady and medication and staying over. Blah blah blah. To be honest I stopped listening to the details with E years ago. As you guys have witnessed with this last 5,00...

  • The Tramp's Story, Part XII: The Imaginary Unit on Nov 16, 2009

  • The Tramp's Story, Part IX: A Fool and Her Money on Nov 9, 2009

    Con’t from previous post… My Lady, see, she's very… Well, I might as well just lay it out: she’s very rich. She inherited her money, she has never really worked, and – unless she goes on some kind of P. Diddy spending bender – there’...

  • The Tramp's Story, Part VIII: Evil is Easy on Nov 7, 2009

    Con’t from previous post… So I sent the forms in. I called Maria first and told her I was going to send them in like she asked because Henry said it was okay, but that I couldn’t help but notice the name on the letter in the package wasn’t...
