Itching like a Coke Whore??
Yeah, good thing you don’t Twitter.
I guess you can have fun with your coworkers. You can disguise your bite-itching as the “Junky’s Itch” and keep muttering about how you need a new bag. I bet you’ll get someone to react.

…seriously works wonders for taking away bug bite itch. Discovered as much when Heidi and I were traveling last summer– it’s amazing!
I was thinking yesterday when reading our “Thwip” emails what a good thing it is that we don’t do Twitter… and how hilarious we would be if we did. :)

Ha! Greta. Our Twitter updates would include things like, “Hipster, multiple gold medallions, 12 o’clock.”
Which would be silly.
But then, they would also include my favorite excerpt from yesterday’s email: “I wish I could pull up a sidewalk square and see you pop up underneath. Annie-in-the-Box!”
Maybe we SHOULD Twitter. (I cannot say “tweet.” Neither can I call Twitter people “tweeples.”)

Can we PLEASE call Twitterers tweepies?? Or Tweebs, maybe??

Maybe TwitterBugs are biting you. Hey, you should call Meghan… she was having that problem a year or so ago and called some bed bug killer guy and he annihilated them all. She sleeps peacefully and bite free now.
