Hey W. Purcell,

Where are you? I need one of your ooey gooey posts about your inside talks with Star management. Please.

The posts where Star/Rio are on the brink of signing the deal that will quadruple the share price. The deal that must be here now because everyone "came to Jesus" two or three weeks ago ... you know the posts I need. They make me warm up and appreciate the sunshine and fall colors, if even for an ever so fleeting moment or two.

Please, daddy Purcell - tell me it's all going to be alright? God knows Star can't do it - remember they are handcuffed, gagged and beaten by bad ol' Rio. They're too scared to speak up.

(Whimper .. Whimper .. and curl in my bed)

I sure hope my name, Ice Diamonds, gets picked and I can warm myself with he $5,000.00 through the winter. (cry)
